One friend recommended this hostel and we couldn't be happier with the suggestion. Our group of 4 showed up December 20 without any kind of reservation or communication and the owner gladly welcomed us. For $8 per night we had our own room by default with an incredible ocean food, spectacular location, amazing (free) breakfast, and the most helpful staff... More

We originally planned to stay here for a night and ended up with three instead. The house is on the block opposite the beach with the bars/restaurants right out front. Our room was upstairs with a balcony at a side angle to the water. We had a view of the Christ statue lit up at night and the sound of... More

First off, the picture posted to this hotel is absolutely not the Hotel Estrella in San Juan del Sur, Nic. Hotel Estrella is a 1920's colonial style hotel that has never been updated. The rooms are very bare. They really only have a bed and a fan. No more no less. Simple, yet worked out great for us. The hotel... More

We visited Hotel Estrella because of it's awesome location overlooking the bay at SJDS. The rooms are modest and bare but it does not matter since most rooms have nice balconies go people watch from and we didnt spend much time in the rooms anyway. The few things I didn't like... When we arrived we asked if it was possible... More

I really enjoyed staying in this hotel. The mother and son who ran it were very nice. Between the on the beach location, quiet nights, and awesome balconies it was a perfect place for me to spend a much needed week to myself. Plus it was close enough to everything that I could go out at night as well. And... More

The picture from my room that is attached to this review says it all! After we traveled all around Costa Rica and Nicaragua, my friends and I found Hotel Estrella to be the best bang for your buck in Central America. Incredible views, perfect location, awesome breeze coming off of Lago Nicaragua to keep your room cool, and all for... More

Having travelled for 3 months in Central America, Hotel Estrella has been one of the worst places I have ever stayed in. The service is really crap and the staff and owner are the most unfriendly people I have come across in Nicaragua. The rooms are OK for the price, although they seem to go up frequently, so always check... More
