I stayed at Oceana for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is a decent price and about a 3 min walk to the beach. The staff was amazing. Had never been to San Juan and employee Yanira Bernard was so helpful with suggestions on places to eat and visit. Another employee named Manny Alfonso was just as... More

I went to San Juan for a quick get away with my girlfriend. We stayed at this place because it claimed it was close to the action and decently priced. The beach is right around the corner and that was awesome. However for four days we only received a pair of clean towels once. On the second day I managed... More

I spend a short night sleeping in this hotel. The room is small but comfortable enough. They charge our additional friend but refuse to provide extra bed or any alternatives, which is not reasonable. The location is good, one block from the beach. More

I stayed here for one night... Service was good. Breakfast and parking is free. Had to change room because toilet and T.V. didn't work, bed was kinda hard and air conditioner wasn't that cold. But overall it was a good stayed. Had a tasty San Juan Sunrise thanks to the front desk clerk ;) and the is awesome! More

The host was wonderful, great customer service skills, the lounge, bistro, and bar area very chic. I just wish the apartment had more to offer in style as well. In terms of cleanliness it was dingy. Shower floor seemed dirty had to through towel on shower floor to step on, covers on futon had stains (?), the headboard was rattling... More

This place is filthy! The common areas are dingy and dusty, the bathroom in our room smelled horrible and had hair on the floor, and the sheets and blankets on the bed did not seem clean. The formerly vegetarian restuarant now serves truly disgusting food, and the menu is definitley not vegetarian friendly. Do not stay here! More

We stayed at Oceana just last week for 9 days. We loved the location, the price, the staff, the hotel common areas were great!! We were not happy with the room, although it was substantial considering we were there only to sleep. My feeling is that with just a little effort Oceana could make the rooms much cleaner and more...

If in San Juan you will probably not spend a lot of time in your hotel room. This fact and the price (I paid 69 USD) make the "Oceana" a choice: The location on O'Leary, one block from the beach, one block from lively Loiza St, not far from Condado is fine, there is (limited) parking in front of the...

This hotel is just awful!!!! I was so disappointed. I booked a room with only one full bed, and that night I decided to bring my friends to come over, and I asked to change the room for one with double bed. When I got there, the room was smelling so bad, they did not have toilet paper, or towels,... More
