This place is for the budget traveler. Rooms start at $20 a night per person with no AC and $32 with AC. A little cheaper if you want one vs two or more beds. The rooms have a bed, pillows, and linens with one thin sheet to cover yourself with, although it's not even necessary in the warm weather or Old San Juan. I had a room with two beds and no AC and it was perfect. This is great for young people or travelers on a budget and for those wanting to stay right in the heart of Old San Juan. Cheapest thing you're going to find and the place was actually pretty clean and has a very authentic feel to it. Bars and restaurants are on every block including two bars right next door.
The owner, Mr. Castro, is the cutest old man in the world and speaks very little English, so when you call try and be clear and maybe get someone that speaks spanish to speak for you. Rooms are private and have a lock and bathrooms are shared. Guest house feels very secure. You must pay in cash when you arrive but that's about it.
If you're looking for a cheap, clean, unique, authentic, and pleasant experience in Old San Juan, this is a great place to stay. You shouldn't be in your room for anything but sleeping anyway! read more
