Casa Santurce is a 10 minute walk to Condado Beach and 11 minutes’ drive from Luiz Munoz Marin International Airport. The T5 bus route is 2 minutes’ walk from the hostel and can take you to Old San Juan where you can visit Fort San Felipe del Morro and explore the history of the area. The bus can also take you directly to the airport.

This hostel was the perfect base for exploring Puerto Rico. It's in a great location and has a really cool vibe. I loved hanging out in the outdoor area and meeting people from all over the world. The staff were fantastic and gave me great recommendations for things to do and see.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The staff was great and very responsive to any requests. The location was great - close to everything - the beach, a Super Max supermarket, small shopping center, Starbucks, petrol station, DoubleTree Hotel where you can go for a meal or a cocktail. It feels pretty safe in the area, just watch where you are stepping in when walking along the streets.

    I liked the location which was in old San Juan 20 minutes walk from the center and all the attractions, 15 minutes by car from the airport. Also, there are a few restaurants, a shop, a food track, and a co-working (which belongs to the hostel) next to it. The staff is very friendly, the bed comfy and the place well-organized.

    Absolutely loved my time at this hostel! From the budget-friendly rooms to the friendly atmosphere, everything about my stay was fantastic. The short walk to the beach was a major plus, allowing me to easily enjoy the sun, sand, and surf whenever I pleased. The hostel's laid-back vibe made it easy to meet fellow travelers and make new friends, and the Easter party was a highlight of my trip, with great music, delicious food, and plenty of fun activities. Can't wait to return!

    If I would have known how wonderful this place is, I would have stayed longer. Blanca and Miguel were super friendly when they welcomed me, they provided great restaurant tips. I felt very safe and the facilities are great. The beds are huge. Clearly the best hostel I ever stayed in.

    Excellent budget stay in a great location. The property is within walking distance of a good variety of restaurants and coffee shops. Very friendly and responsive staff! Very clean facilities for a hostel. Bonus: the property was quaint and well-decorated. Bug spray and sunscreen was also provided.

    This is the best hostel. It's clean and safe. The customer service is amazing. It's within walking distance of the beach and Old San Juan. This will be my first choice if I ever go back to Puerto Rico.

    The apartment was very nice and clean. The hosts were very friendly and helpful! There were full sized appliances and everything in the apartment looked newer. The bunk beds were great for our kids. The apartment is on the 14th floor with railings that don't seem too sturdy in some parts so beware if you have small children. We had to ensure our kids walked along the building wall only. The parking lot is gated and you need a key fob to get in the building. That helped with feeling more safe.
