The location was in the heart of Old San Juan and there was a volunteer—who actually also functioned as part of the staff since the reception wasn't manned 24/7—cleaning the place everyday. Despite the COVID-19 restrictions already being lifted, surprisingly there were only a handful of guests when I was there. In my four nights I only had one roommate for two nights in the four-bed room I was assigned to. Another guy had another room all to himself throughout his stay, something very unusual for a hostel in a very good location. I think the place was pretty and modern and vintage-looking at the same time, thanks to the black and white floor, white walls, huge doors, and high ceiling. While the kitchen was very minimal, the common area was super homey for me. I was actually working remotely during my stay and had to start working past midnight; the well-positioned table kept me focused and the TV and wide sofa provided comfort when I needed to take a break (okay, a nap as well). I don't remember seeing air-conditioning controls in the room so it was centralized and was turned on day and night—much needed given how humid San Juan is. Lockers were big and each bed had a lamp. There was a bar just below the hostel, although I failed to grab a drink there. Boo.

I had a good time at this hostel, but the Wi-Fi was a bit slow, which made it hard to stay connected. However, the social atmosphere made up for it.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Juliette hostel is perfect for women traveling solo or with a group. Located at the heart of old San Juan, it's very accessible to all the tourist attractions and also the airport. It was perfectly safe and clean, the staff were very helpful. There are also some decent food options available closeby and a convenience store right in front of the hostel.

    This hostel was the ideal base for exploring Puerto Rico. It’s situated in a prime location and has a great vibe. I enjoyed relaxing in the outdoor space and meeting people from all around the globe. The staff were excellent and provided wonderful tips on what to do and see.

    The hostel is located walking distance to the forts, the shopping and dining in old San Juan. The staff is friendly and helpful. As a solo female traveler I felt safe, the set of the bathroom is convenient and clean throughout the day.

    If I would have known how wonderful this place is, I would have stayed longer. Blanca and Miguel were super friendly when they welcomed me, they provided great restaurant tips. I felt very safe and the facilities are great. The beds are huge. Clearly the best hostel I ever stayed in.

    This is the best hostel. It's clean and safe. The customer service is amazing. It's within walking distance of the beach and Old San Juan. This will be my first choice if I ever go back to Puerto Rico.
