The hotel was cute and clean. The private parking was extremely convenient. The only thing I did not like was the key. The key gave us access to the room but did not give access to the building. We had to ring the bell and wait to be buzzed in every time we came in and out. That was pretty awkward at night, I kept feeling like I was preparing myself for the walk of shame. Lol other than that all was good. I stayed 3 nights in total. Cool.
Staff were very helpful. I wasn’t too happy about not having an elevator, but the gentleman @ the desk helped us with our luggage. I will be using this hotel again if and when I return to Puerto Rico. Also I was very pleased that the subway was right next door and this hotel is very close to the airport Luis Muñoz Marin. Thank you again ☺️
This hotel is clean and had guest parking. It was suitable if you just need a place to sleep before a flight. Be aware that they enforce highly specific rules, such as dress codes, a ban on visitors, and no alcohol. While the room itself was cute and clean, the policies felt heavy-handed for paying guests on vacation. It worked for our quick transit, but don't think we would book again.
A very cute boutique hotel with friendly, courteous staff. The area where the hotel is located is a bit run down but the public artwork in the area is fantastic.

Our stay at Hotel Nest was great. The staff was nice and one guy even took our bags upstairs, no elevators at the hotel. The room was nice and cozy. The area wasn’t the best but once you walk around you seen the nice art work it made up for the area. Will recommend
Very helpful and pleasant staff. Small but very clean room. Breakfast was good. No elevator! Just took my time carrying my bags up the stairs to the 2nd floor. The staff did volunteer to help. Great recommendation for dinner!
Would stay there again.
I recently stayed at Hotel Nest and had a mixed experience.
On the positive side, the hotel itself is a great spot if you are looking for cleanliness and comfort. Both the hotel and my room were well-maintained, tidy, and very comfortable throughout my stay. The breakfast provided was very basic, but it was a sufficient way to start the day.
However, I feel it is important to note that the surrounding street and area felt quite sketchy. There were a large number of homeless persons and street dwellers in the immediate vicinity, and they were frequently very loud throughout the night, which made it difficult to get a restful sleep at times.
If you are a light sleeper or are uncomfortable in busy, unpredictable urban areas, you may want to take this into account before booking. If you stick to the hotel property, it is a clean and welcoming environment, but the area right outside the doors was not ideal.
Hotel suited our needs for a 2 night stay before a cruise. Clean room and bathroom. Air conditioning worked in our room and we had hot water. Hotel is in an urban, artsy area, check out the murals in the area. We walked to a nearby restaurant and did not feel unsafe. . The patio on the 3rd floor is great for reading and watching the sunset. Property has parking in the back. Front desk staff was very helpful. No elevator so be prepared to carry your luggage up the stairs. It was easynfor us to drive from the hotel to Old San Juan and to El Yunque National Forest.
The room was clean and the staff was friendly. The room had a TV with Roku and airconditioning. The breakfast was a small buffet of prepackaged foods. The hot water didn't work on all days. The property is close to the train station. Overall a quiet and pleasant place.
Nice hotel but no elevator or desk phone in the room. Staff is very nice. Breakfast is minimal. No where to eat around there, convenient right next to a train stop.

The check in staff was friendly. The check out staff was not. We did not have any drinking glasses. We also did not have any hot water - not acceptable.
