Great location, close to water and Old San Juan area. Helpful and friendly staff, especially Carlos. Clean and well-kept facilities. Centrally located, walkable distance to attractions. Quirky and simple atmosphere. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Small hostel, great for meeting people. Upbeat and positive atmosphere.

Can't fault the property.

Clean, quirky, and simple hostel in a great location. Close to the water and the adorable Old San Juan area. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Friendly and upbeat staff. Self check-in option available. Nice public area and individual bathrooms.

Felt snug, no complaints whatsoever.

My stay at Fortel was beyond amazing. The hostel is truly heaven on earth. The location is central and convenient, and the hostel itself is gorgeous with a colonial touch to the decor. The high ceilings and tropical breeze make it a truly delightful place to stay. The staff, especially Angelica and Carlos, were incredibly friendly and helpful. Carlos even helped me plan my trip to Culebra and drove me to Ceiba for my ferry. I am so grateful for their hospitality. I also enjoyed meeting other solo travelers and had amazing conversations with them. I would highly recommend Fortel for its unbeatable location, beautiful accommodations, and the best staff.

The location of the hostel was fantastic! It was within walking distance to great restaurants, shops, supermarkets, and local attractions. I loved being able to easily explore the city and have everything I needed close by. Additionally, the hostel was extremely secure with locks on both the outside door and the individual rooms. I felt safe and at ease during my stay.

The lack of an elevator. This could pose a challenge for older individuals or those with mobility issues, especially when carrying heavy luggage up and down the stairs.

In terms of drawbacks, there were a few minor issues. The wifi in the rooms wasn't the best, and the lack of ensuite bathrooms meant that the toilets were a bit of a distance from the rooms.

I recently stayed at a charming, well-located hostel in Puerto Rico. The receptionist was incredibly charming and made me feel welcome. The rooms were comfortable, with working A/C and a reliable wifi connection. The hostel was quiet and clean, and the beds were comfortable. The staff was helpful and provided excellent suggestions for things to do in the area. it was a great value for the price and I would definitely consider staying there again for a couple of nights.

Can't fault the property in any way. 😊
