Nomada Urban Beach Hostel- Calle Loiza

Had a great stay at Nomada! My room was clean and comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful, and the nearby food options delicious. Would stay again!

The room was clean and reasonably quiet, the staff were friendly, the property was secure and conveniently located. I never had an issue finding nearby street parking. The property has a communal kitchen which was fully stocked, and was clean and had fully functioning appliances (fridge, freezer, stove, microwave). The shared bathrooms were clean and functional. The shower was even a little warm, which I wasn’t expecting.

Note: first and likely only hostel I'll stay at (unrelated to this hostel), so keep that in mind when reading. Recently took my first ever solo trip and opted for a private room at a hostel. Overall, it was a very solid experience. Appeared to be a safe area. Short walk to the beach, but it's not much of a swimming beach. The security measures seemed sufficient. The staff was friendly and helpful and the property was clean. The AC was good and the bed was pretty comfortable...and I actually loved the pillows as they were big and fluffy but a little firm! WAY better than I had anticipated! The only two "knocks" I'd give are location and noise. While the neighborhood is generally quiet 10p-8a, the walls and windows are thin and you can hear EVERYTHING very clearly. But in my experience, this is pretty common outside of newer places on islands like this. As for the location, there are a few bars/restaurants and the beach that are walkable, but most things people do will require an Uber (cheap) or bus (free to Viejo San Juan).
