We are small . . . but great!

 

We are a hostel award winner. The founder and owner is a real Cangrejero (as they call Santurce natives); been born and was raised in Puerto Rico and is a resident of the Hostel’s neighborhood; Santurce. SJIHostel is a non-traditional place with a cozy atmosphere for the active and independent traveler, a place where you can have a good night’s sleep after a day of sightseeing or beach going . . . or a good afternoon nap before enjoying San Juan’s nightlife. In our existence we have hosted visitors from more than 120 countries. Many international friendships have developed here.
