It was so complicated and confusing to get approved for check in, we just went to another place to stay and lost out on 1 nights cost of stay. I don’t recommend staying here, it’s too much of a hassle.

Good location, clean rooms
The location is very great, couple of minutes away from Ocean park beach, a Walgreens right across the street, great restaurants and bars around the place. The rooms, sheets, towels, and bathroom were very clean, when we had a question or an issue we got help/solution within a reasonable time-frame. Only negative I may mention is at one or two nights there were people partying after 10 PM, which was designated as the time to calm down for the comfort of all. Besides that, if you want to meet new people, stay at a cost/performance place in a good location, Villa Eshta is suggested.

Didn't see a single employee until checking out. Was told there was no drinking water available because the bar was closed. Had to pass through a dorm with lots of people sleeping to get to the room which is very awkward. Mattress was very bad.

I cannot recommend this place enough! The comments saying the staff are amazing are beyond true. The staff made Villa Eshta an insanely friendly and welcoming environment. Not only did they give perfect recommendations, they went out of their way to give us a real Puerto Rican experience. Villa Eshta is located in a good area... close to beach, as well as one of the main shopping/eating streets. The rooms are exactly as expected from pictures online. If you are looking to experience more of San Juan than just the beautiful beaches, Villa Eshta is absolutely the place to stay.
