We love the location..it can not be beat..love the staff..so very friendly..make your stay in San Juan enjoyable..thank you

Spent 3 nights in the three bed room with the balcony with two friends. The individuals running the house don't speak the best English but are completely accommodating. For the price it was exactly what I expected. 2 fans were supplied in the room which made the room tolerable/comfortable at night. typical residential style bathrooms that were relatively clean and worked well. Only complaint, which is inherent to the location, is that at night the balcony doors are best left open for comfort however that also lets in a ton of noise throughout the night. Other than that I definitely would and plan to go back.

After being in Santo Domingo for 7 weeks I returned to San Juan and to the same hostel. It made me feel home again. every night dancing and concerts and all very close by, which makes me feel secure. The family who cares is very friendly and try to offer the best they have. Very good for the price and location.
Would definitely recommend it!

Let's be honest, if you are going to San Juan to actually see the place and not stay in your hotel the whole time, then you don't need lots of bells and whistles. Fortaleza Guest House was located RIGHT in the middle of the action in Old San Juan. Nothing fancy here, just a clean room with two beds and an air conditioner (no windows), for CHEAP. The shared bathrooms and kitchen area were also kept up quite nicely. My only caution, is that Israel, the manager is super nice, but you will need to know Spanish to make a reservation with him, or to ask where the supermarket is etc. Other than that, when you are only in the room to sleep, you really don't need more than this!!!
