Dreams Hotel provides a clean and comfortable stay in San Juan, making it great for budget travelers. It's lively due to its proximity to the university and local bars, but this can lead to some noise at night. While the staff was generally friendly and helpful, the breakfast was very basic and the bathroom amenities had their issues, which detracted from the overall experience.

The Dreams Hotel offers a budget-friendly option in a local neighborhood, perfect for adventurers who want to truly experience Puerto Rico. The rooms are clean and well-kept, and the owner, Elena, provides a wealth of local information. Although the breakfast could use some variety, the hotel serves as an excellent base for exploring the area. It's wise to be cautious with local surroundings as the neighborhood isn't upscale, but if you're street-smart, you will enjoy your stay.

I had a mixed experience at Dreams Hotel. The location is lively, close to the University, and full of dining options nearby. While the staff were genuinely helpful, the rooms could use some updates and attention to cleanliness. Prices are affordable, but you do sacrifice some comfort. The breakfast was basic, and the noise from the area might be a drawback for some. Overall, it's a place for budget travelers looking for convenience, but improvements are definitely needed.

The hotel has a vibrant nightlife scene, but be prepared for potential noise from the street. The rooms are generally clean and well-maintained, with some newer updates, while the value for the price is impressive. The staff, especially Elena, goes out of their way to provide excellent service and local recommendations. However, keep in mind the noise levels if you're a light sleeper, and remember to bring your own washcloths, as they aren't provided.
