The location and rooms were clean and great! The cleaning staff was very helpful upon my arrival - I was charged $20 to check-in 30 min early which was lame but it was so hot out and needed to get into AC - wouldve appreciated a little hospitality on that but other than that loved the shared fridge space so easy breakfast - can't beat the location!

This property was so cute! It was located in a convenient area of the neighborhood too. It was relatively quiet, and when you walk down the block, you stumble upon the main street—filled with restaurants! My stay was for three nights and it was perfect! The staff was very accommodating and always fulfilled our requests.

Amazing place and friendly staff. They go above and beyond to make your stay as enjoyable and comfortable. The facilities are great, and it’s in a convenient location close to Calle Loiza. We will stay here next time we visit San Juan. Roberto & Josef

I loved how friendly the staff was and was nice enough to offer a pamphlet of recommended restaurants and places to visit even for rainy days which was very helpful since i has been raining for the couple days i stayed here. Very clean, and beautiful, has AC. Love La Buena Vida Inn would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Could use some work on the details: There was no body soap in the shower, no washcloths, and very cheap toilet paper. The TV did not have basic cable, the staff leaves for the day at 4pm (and check-in starts at 3pm) so you basically are on your own to deal with all this. The staff was helpful when we eventually met them the next day, but it was a little too late at that point.
