Urbana Hotel

Stayed 2 nights. Friday to Sunday. Location is great as it is like 15~20 minutes walk to old San Juan. And 10 min walk to ocean view. Area is not that good in terms that it looks old, around empty warehouses. Is a developing/residencial area. Didn’t see shady characters. Two bars in same street. Mex bar is noisy with music on the weekend. It can be heard in the room. If you are a light sleeper you will not like it. I am. I knew about it from the reviews. But went in because was a party trip, so okay. I like the fact that you have a code to enter property. It feels truly independent not need to walk through the lobby. Check in desk around the corner. Balcony room. Nice view of the port with cruise park in there. Air conditioning was awesome. Loved it. Water pressure good, hot, and water bottle for drinking free. Nice. I had a good time. No complaints.

Excellent location, 10 mins walk to the beach and 15 mins walk to the old town. Super clean place. It is only very basic but you have everything you need. It looks freshly painted fairly new in the room. Reception is in a different building and serves the hotel, a womens hostel and I think few more apartments. To get to the room you need to get through 2 communal doors where you have to key in a code. Reception provides the code. There is a bar next to the hotel and very loud music until about midnight. It didn't bother me but some people may find it hard to sleep. For £100 a night during high season not bad.

It was not as advertised. The image on the ******* gives the impression of a modern high rise building. It is tall, but does not have an elevator. The check in is a little confusing, as I think they try to handle all check ins at one location, which makes it inconvenient for customers.

The draining of the shower never disappeared until 35@40 minutes. It was a uncomfortable. It did had T.V but didn't work unless you downloaded what you wanted to see. A lot a noise between 6@9 am .towel were not clean they did had spot

no hair dryer, no iron, no hot water, certainly no amenities like a gym or place to buy tylenol, shaving razors, or anything else you may have forgotten. view of a huge industrial lot, every cab driver extremely worried about dropping me off there at night.

Everything was okay except for a room on the 3rd floor and no elevators:( we had 2 large and heavy suitcases. The water to shower never got even warm, almost freezing. The longer I waited the colder it was.

-No hot water and they told us inside the room after check in -a lot of noise come in from a pub right adjacent to the building -no bathroom ventilator -curtains do not work properly to cover from outside light -floor with dust -no amenities on lobby ex. Coffee, snacks, water, etc. The place is nice and very good location. The project requires more services incline to satisfy industry standards for a hostel or small hotel as advertise.

Perfect spot for easy walking to Old San Juan, coastline, or Convention Center. Staff was very helpful, friendly, and accessible. Convenient bodega and night club right across the street. Will definitely consider this location for future travel.

The Urbana is carved out of newly renovated historic buildings, making for a unique and centrally-located stay. The staff is friendly an helpful, and a bar across the street offers drinks and music. While I stayed there, a couple big music/dance events happened at an events venue also on the block, so the whole street felt alive and energetic. It is about a mile walk to the center of Old San Juan, and you pass lots of plazas and sites of interest on the way. A bakery is just down the block offering breakfast and lunch options, and a co-working space next door is available for guests who need to be on the clock while in town. The rooms are small, but with the beach only 10-15 minutes away on foot, and with San Juan all around you, who needs to be in the room? Even so, the hotel was meticulously clean and comfortable. Depending on the time of day, the water might be more warm than hot, but the in-room AC makes climate control easy. I will definitely seek to stay here again!
