We stayed here for five nights in a double private room on the 6th floor. The room was simple, clean, comfortable and air conditioned. We never had any trouble with the shared bathrooms being 'busy' when we needed them. The view from the balcony was awesome. The location is excellent for those who enjoy exploring on foot, as it is... More

I stayed about 4 nights here when I was in San Juan, it was clean in a great location right in the heart of Old San Juan. It was a fun place to stay, with multiple bars and restaurants and beaches within walking distance. The hostel managers were all super friendly, and the place was very well managed. I really... More

Posada SF provides the basics for a great price and excellent location in old San Juan. We stayed in a double room. The room furnishings are the minimum, but the shared bathrooms and kitchen are kept clean. Sheets/towels/pillow are good and the beds comfy enough. The view from the balcony provides a great view of old San Juan and the... More

Booked online prior to taking my first trip to Puerto Rico. Book at least one month before your arrival. Stayed in mixed dorm the first night there. As a Senior Solo Traveler is was a very good experience being with younger persons from all over, but mostly from the States. The next two nights I had booked an Extreme Private... More

there seem to be three types of hotels in san juan - expensive high-rise resorts, which are near the beach but distanced from old san juan - cheap hotels, which are further from the beach, and likewise at a remove from the historic old city - and this place, posada san francisco, which is a great value and right in...

There were 2 full baths plus one toilet for the whole floor in our area, and no one cleans or replaces the toilet tissue except once a day! The A/C in our room was not very good, and the hallways were hot and humid. There was literally NO furniture in our room except the bed, a metal chair, and a... More

The service from the lady owner of the place and the girl that works in the reception was really bad. They weren't nice, no patience, only want you to pay & leave. First I reserved a night for a few hours because I got to San Juan by a flight that arrived at 4:00 am - I made sure that... More

I have never stayed in a hostel before but just needed an inexpensive place to crash for the night prior to going on a cruise. I was very pleasantly surprised! Great location, pretty clean, we even had a flat screen tv in our room! I would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic deal price wise, and very friendly staff. Basic rooms, but they have refrigerators, which is nice. Clean, and the balconies are great to sit on and watch the day go by. The elevator is slooooow and hot, but it does work so don't be scared of it(read the directions first). Apparently it was one of the first elevators in... More
