"Place looks amazing in quite area. Room was clean and tidy - high standard. Quick laundry service. WiFi didn’t work during our stay at all for us. Staff didn’t provided us with information on arrival. We didn’t know what time breakfast will be served. Even though tea/coffee supposed to be included in the breakfast price we were charged extra. Communication with guests should be improved. However overall we had a great time and we would stay again."

"Cute little hostel. Very clean with two toilets and shower. Only open about a month so a little underdeveloped but still comfortable. Food at restaurant was great! Definitely recommend renting a scooter because it’s secluded, but it seems that most hostels are on the island. No A/C in rooms and no wifi/service. "

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in San Juan

  1. If you're looking to travel to San Juan on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $20. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $98. Staying a short amount of time in San Juan is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in San Juan, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in San Juan, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in San Juan, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.
