AMAZING NOSTALGIC EXPENSIVE ...VERY EXPENSIVE

GREAT LOCATION FOR DOWNTOWN RIO PIEDRAS THE PRICE WAS OUTRAGEOUS FOR DOWTOWN RIO PIEDRAS AND THE NOISE FROM THE PLAZA
Edgardo, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

A very old hotel in a rundown section of town where no saying individual would dare to venture out at night with no stairs no air conditioning in the public areas and a window unit in each of the rooms which looks like it might have been made in the 1950s and works like it was made in the 1950s and last service then

Compliment

The room was clean and organized. The hotel location is in the Center of Río Piedras. Near, You have an ice cream store, pharmacy and a Police Headquarters. Also, You have ATI a Train Station beside the hotel. The TV service in the room was available in spanish and English. Even the Smartv they have in the room allows You to connect with tour phone using Airplay and or Smart Connect. The services of iron, iron board, blower and iron for the hair, You asked for them in front desk. Over all service, excellent.

4/10 Fair

Nice hotel

Cute hotel with a nice history! Convenient location too. I enjoyed the breakfast. The room was comfortable and had a nice little kitchenette if you wanted to stay longer. The worst parts are the shower and the mosquitoes at breakfast in the outdoor area. The shower flooded the bathroom because the drain was clogged. I thought the cleaning person should have realized this if the shower was cleaned, since it flooded immediately. The breakfast offered was very nice with many options. As I was enjoying my coffee, I ended up with very itchy legs due to the 13 mosquito bites. A fan on the floor would have helped them not to land on me.

6/10 Good

Just a place to sleep

Absolutely no warm water at any tine of day or nignt. Ice cold. The staff was very nice. The hotel is okay for short stay or not spending time in the room. No elevator, or ice, or vending machines. With no hot water, I wonder how they sanize the bedding and towels....

It was a pretty hotel. No eggs at breakfast and not always coffee available at breakfast. Water pressure was poor and there was only hot water for shower in the morning.

HOTEL NEST NIGHTMARE

I left the following day March 22, 2025 at 8:45 am I did not stay until the 24th so a refund is due. I tried contacting you on the website, but it is not user friendly and was not able to communicate sooner. I would not recommend this place to anyone the neighborhood looks like a slum,most of the buildings are vacant and graffitied and it is unsafe to bring my family dining facilities looked even worse. NEVER AGAIN!!! NO elevator had to walk up 3 flights of stairs this would not work for an elderly person.

Nest Hotel was a clean, convenient and comfortable place to stay. Located in a historic square it was surrounded by nice buildings and restaurants. The sunrise shone right into our room. A lovely way to wake up.
