It's a clean close to everything little guest house. No space for cars to park on the street. It's best not to have a rented car if you're staying in this area.

The Hotel Aura House was clean and in an excellent location. However, the AC wasn't working and we had to sleep the first night without AC with an 83F temperature.
I am grateful that Hotels.com helped us out and they changed the Hotel for Us to Bali Posh Hotel, that was an upgraded stay. Thank you.

When you go to the site to book it states two queen beds in one room and a king bed in the other.. not true when you get there it’s two king beds. I was going with two older ladies. Plus the pictures are nothing what you find when you arrive.. it’s runned down and we didn’t feel safe. We ended up leaving and going somewhere else. They wouldn’t work with us and they argued with me even though I sent photos of what I saw while booking. Very disappointing and not in a safe area. No food places around either.

The room was pretty decent and very clean. The shower was nice. My issue stemmed from the wifi not working in our room at all, which forced me to use a hotspot on my phone to even use the television. Also there was a lack of staff on premises except in the morning for cleanup.

Aura House was a pleasant stay overall. The room was clean with simple yet modern decorations. The guest house is recently renovated with a simple but charming exterior. I enjoyed spending time on the roof in the lounge chairs provided. It was a quick walk to the beach, local coffee, and cuisine. It was a great deal for the location in the beautiful Isla Verde. Some guests had difficulties with checking in as there was no front desk—only a lobby area. Passcodes were used and some had not received confirmations. WiFi was very slow in the bedroom, so I had to use the lobby/lounge which was cozy and provided water as well as an assortment of teas. Overall it was a very pleasant and met my needs as an individual traveler looking for some self care. Thank you!

This hotel is self check in. If you are staying in the apartments, remember that you are in a separate building and you don't have access to the coffee or the rooftop lounge that is in Aura House. No biggie because my family didnt come to spend time in our room. The hotel is within walking distance of plenty of restaurants and nightlife. There is a really cool skate park up the road with a beautiful seaside view. If you are lucky enough to stay in Apartment B, you will be serenaded to sleep by the sweetest little Coqui. If you try to copy his whistle, he will just get louder and chirp faster lol. Be mindful that PR is in a water crisis. You very well may come back to your room and find NO running water. There is a supermarket right down the road. Just go and get yourself a few gallons until the next water delivery. If you come here with an entitled attitude, you will be disappointed. But if you come to Puerto Rico with an open mind and respect for the locals, you will feel right at home. I can't wait to come back! Wepa!

This is self check-in. I would have appreciated knowing that our room was on the first floor. It looked like we had to go upstairs instead of around the building. Having mobility issues this was important for me. Maids were curt. I appreciated being able to store luggage (at our own risk) prior to 3pm check-in. Room looked pretty nice.

There were no sheets on the bed. Just a bottom sheet and blanket.
There were no windows, just shutters and screens with large tears. So bugs and all street noise came inside.

Hello, I wanted to reach out regarding a few issues we experienced upon arrival. The main door code did not work, and we spent about 7 minutes trying to unlock it before we were finally able to get in.
Additionally, there is very limited lighting in the kitchen, and the air conditioning unit in the larger room does not appear to be working, making the house quite hot and uncomfortable.
Given that I paid nearly $350 for one stay, I’m disappointed with these issues.
