Nomada Urban Beach Hostel- Calle Loiza

Everything was great! The lobby/lounge area is super cute & comfy for hanging out, and the roof has a (distant) view of the ocean which is very relaxing. The private room was basic but comfortable. Though I was nervous about shared bathrooms, I didn’t have any issues during my stay! Everything is kept super clean; there weren’t many other guests at the time I was there, but those who were there were respectful of the shared space. Bianca & Annie at the front desk are amazing — both gave us very helpful tips for our trip! 10/10 would stay again.

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).

It was a nice spot. Obviously not spectacular but very accomodating and convenient if you’re gonna be in and out alot. Not gonna be staying at hostels too much after this because hearing someone snoring like a growling bear is not ideal when trying to sleep. But I guess that's what you paid for. Other than that not a bad stay!

The best and I’ll come here again for sure
