My significant other and I spent Easter weekend here and we loved it. Rooms were nice and clean, AC was awesome and there was warm water. The parking situation was somewhat an issue. But we got the hang of it, just find parking somewhere on the street with white paint. Thank you La Vida Buena Inn for making our vacation comfortable. We Love Puerto Rico!! 🇵🇷 💕

Self check in was easy. Communication was quick. Location was not bad. Wish it was closer to the beach. The room and the establishment is beautiful and clean. Exactly like the pictures. I only wish it had hot water.

If I come back to Puerto Rico I will definitely stay at this hotel again. Clean rooms, very nice staff and housekeeping. They have a shared area with big clean kitchen and the fridge. I can’t say anything bad about this hotel. They have private limited parking but if you can’t get a space there, there’s street parking available too. There’re a few food places within a walking distance as well. They even let us use the shared shower in the hotel if we needed to after we checked out.

I would definitely recommend La buena vida also would 100% stay again if I want to be in Santurce area next time. Staff made my whole stay feel like home as soon as I arrived. Lots of things walking distance but also calling uber/lyft was never super expensive from here either.

The bed was uncomfortable as it sinked in the middle. There was also a green light from the fire alarm that was distracting to sleep with. Other than that, the room was clean, it looked nice and it was quiet.
