Let me start off by saying that the people I met at this place were nothing but friendly. They are the sole reason that I have this place a 2/5 rating. The people that run this place are young volunteers in their 20s who have great happy uplifting personalities and provide great information about the city and the activities within... More

This hostel really has an authentic family feel in a "real" part of PR away from the tourist traps but still a walk away from anything you need. It's clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Luke and Phoebe as well as the owner Francisco are really cool. Phoebe makes a good piña colada! More

Unfortunately my sister and me found this hostel at the end of our travel in Puerto Rico! We would have stayed here for the whole time if we knew it before. Francisco and Phoebe help you and give you advises so you will have an uncomplicated trip in San Juan! Backpackers from all over the world are sleeping here. Best... More

The people who run SJI are extremely accommodating when it comes to making recommendations, giving you rides and helping you figure out the best way for you to enjoy San Juan. The hostel scene in San Juan is small and I would choose SJI hands down over staying in the over crowded and over priced streets of Old San Juan.... More

You will really get alot of authentic charm at this place. It's right in the middle of a residential area on a minor street Calle America. Make sure your taxi driver knows where it is and agree on a price before he starts driving. There is no formal check-in process so make sure you have an accurate time of arrival... More
