The SJI Hostel is located in Santurce, the hip arts district of downtown San Juan. In this neighborhood decorated by many beautiful murals, you will be among the real people of San Juan. As you approach our locale, you will notice the less touristy atmosphere in the form of lower prices and more authentic interactions with those around you. We are a short walk away from Puerto Rico's spectacular Art Museum, and a thirty minutes, (fifty cents) bus ride from the cobblestone streets of the colorful colonial city of Old San Juan.
Is our area dangerous? Of course not, we love it and would not be here if it was. We see ourselves as more than a hostel; we see us as your home away from home, while in Puerto Rico.

In 2012 and 2013 we were named the #1 hostel in Puerto Rico by HostelWorld, for our superb value and great service to people like you.

    We had the impression that this place was closer to the beach than it turned out to be. However, getting to Old San Juan by bus was very easy. Go check out the nearby Placita in the evening for food! Bed was comfortable, room & bathroom were clean, can't really complain.
