    A great crash pad for a first night in PR.

    There was no one from the villa on property so some of the other guests were loud in the courtyard. We knew we were booking a hostel but had hoped for a little bit more quiet after 1am in the common space. The guests were not in their rooms being loud but our room off the kitchen, we could hear all the guests roaming around and having long conversations/singing at 2am.

    We liked the communication and the comfortability of the beds/room/bathroom. It was a great place to crash for a quick night. I am a little bit older then the medium age of people that I came into contact with. It was definitely a younger vibe than I prefer on vacation. The beds were very comfortable and the air condition was a great bonus on a warm night. There are some very cute shops/cafe's near by. The beach was beautiful and a quick walk from the Villa.

    The shower is on a different system where it is either hot or cold. The only time I had warm water was during the few seconds that it transitioned from hot to cold. Once it changed to hot, it was very hot.

    Very friendly & helpful staff. The room was clean & very comfortable. Location was great - near restaurants, airport & a Walgreens across the street for snacks & forgotten items!

    You can hear everything from outside!! There is Walgreens across the street and every morning you could hear trucks supplying the store. And it was like 5/6am.

    The locations is quite good. There is nice beach close by and couple cute cafes.

    We were in private room 1 which was adjacent to the shared kitchen and the lobby which made it extremely noisy and hard to sleep. We didn't have hot water for showers either. The Sunday party was cool and the Jamaican food was delicious, however the music was really really loud and it lasted from from 1:00-9:45 pm. We were really tired that day and wanted to take a nap and relax but we couldn't because of the loud music.

    Great location. Very short walk to the beach. Lots of restaurants nearby. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I loved Cleo the hostel cat! The hookah was good too. Overall it was the typical hostel experience that we expected.

    -No hot water during our stay. Having said that, the owner tried his best to fix it, offered us to use another shower and compensated us for the inconvenience- great management :) -Small suggestion- staff could communicate more via knocking on the door/booking.com app

    -Room was very comfortable (amazing aircon, comfortable bed and very clean) -Staff were friendly and helpful -Good location- be sure to have a pizza on the corner and go to the bakery opposite it :)

    The "private room" doesn't feel very private. It's inside the dorm. I had to try 3 different showers. One had water too cold to have a shower. The other one was boiling, impossible to even touch. The third one was still cold, but I needed a shower, so I took it. Overall, not satisfying for the price.

    Wifi is good. Place is lovely, especially the patio. Good communication with the host. The area is super nice! Safe, with bars and restaurants at walking distance, , close to the beach.
