Near lots of stuff but tucked in a little neighborhood street. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, and were very enthusiastic about sharing information about PR with me. The place is very comfortable with lots of public spaces and cozy rooms.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a great stay at this hotel in Puerto Rico. It was quiet, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a smooth trip. The location was super convenient — I was able to get to Old San Juan, Condado Beach, La Placita, and even El Yunque with ease using Ubers. The staff was friendly and helpful, and there were plenty of walkable spots nearby for food and sightseeing. Overall, a solid place to stay if you want both peace and easy access to the island’s best attractions.

Great place to stay, clean and friendly staff. Only complaint I have is that the pillows are terribly thin. The property really needs to invest in proper hotel pillows as these ones are obviously cheap.

This place was great for one night. It was close to the airport, clean, self-checking was very easy. The hotel is unique and very pretty. The only thing I would recommend is better pillows and extra bedding.

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.

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!
