Hotels/Lodging

Good morning all. I will be down mid June and need a hotel in Leon and Esteli. Suggestions please? Thank you.

The Wall Street Journal is now on-board with the launch of Mukul, it would appear. The video embedded on the linked page has an interesting discussion about how the high-end travel agents and other jet-setter confidantes will need to do some convincing of their clients in order to have them travel to a country like Nicaragua. Also interesting and not news to those living in Nicaragua, Mukul had to establish a training program that started from the basics to train the staff on things like what bidets are, how to pour coffee, make a bed, communicate with the guests, etc.

I have now stayed there on three different occasions and decided it is worth mentioning. It is not a fancy tourist hotel but it has proved to be a convenient place to stay if you find yourself needing to get some things done in the middle of Managua.

Their location is extremely convenient. Within three blocks you will find INTUR, NicaBox and Paul Tiffer's office. Within half a dozen blocks you find Plaza Inter, TicaBus, King Quality and La Casa de Mejia Godoy. For those willing to walk further you will find MINREX, MINGOB, other government offices and Naturaleza.

There is an article in Ottawa Citizen about five high-end Eco-lodges in Nicaragua. No dispute that the places described are high-end but in the information accurate? If so and the places have any guests then there is more money in Eco-tourism than I had expected.

Here is one example. They are talking about Morgan's Rock. It was not the most expensive option offered and all are low-season prices.

Anyone know a good place to spend the night in Wiwili, Nueva Segovia / Jinotega?

This is one of the most beautiful spots in the country, as in geography, and culture http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hotel-y-Restaurante-Casa-Ulrich/2396602850...

Howdy all. In-laws are arriving here in just under 2 weeks. Most of their stay is already planned. We are looking for a 1 night stay on a resort thats fairly close to Managua. When I saw close, I mean under a 2 hour drive. We stayed awhile back at the Vista mar resort,which is near Masachapa. Would like to stay somewhere else. Will be 5 adults and 1 dog. Were happy to just chill and drink Tona's!! Any recommendations would be super. Thanks,Scott

So Im taking a trip to Nicaragua, the 7th-17th of Sept. I want to go to Granada and the isletas, I would like some recommendations for hotels, dont have to be luxury, just clean and safe, maybe even cheap. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

just thought i would post/inquire as to hotel vacancies in managua. i neglected to reserve a room in managua on wednesday as my plans kept changing at the last minute. i arrived into managua about 5pm and discovered the first 11 hotels full. started to get real worried 2 hours later when my cabbie told me he had to head back to the coast and abandon me. eventually found a place in centro. never experienced this before. i can understand mercedes being full, but is this the norm for such a large city?

I need to make a few trips to Managua this year and will need to stay a few days each time. I am looking for an inexpensive hotel. It needs to be near the center of town.

I know there are tourist hotels for $100 and backpacker hostels for less than $20. I would like something between these extremes. A comfortable bed, quiet and internet are more important than a bar, swimming pool, english speaking help, etc.

I know of three hotels in Matagalpa city that have "real" hot water (not electric showerheads). Each is nice, and has advantages and disadvantages. We enjoyed our stay at each of them, and can recommend any of them if you are in Matagalpa. If you're not a fan of the "suicide showers", at least you have some options.

I've seen good reviews in guide books for Hotel Cafe. Any opinions on it as a first place to stay when coming to Nicaragua? I've used their on-line form and also sent an email in what I hoped was sufficient Spanish and in English.

Muchos gracias for the help from NicaLiving. I hope I can improve my Spanish over the week enough to get rooms and food.

Hi, first of all I want to say "hi" to the NL community since this is going to be my first post.

I want to open a topic on nice little hotels that are worth for a romantic visit. It would be nice to have cabanas for individual privacy :-) Actually I'm not really interested in Hotels like Pelican Eyes, which is nice but within the "city" of SJDS, or the other most famous and expensive ones. I'll give some examples of nice ones I know:

Posada Ecologica la Abuela
Laguna de Apoyo

I need a hotel room that is cheap, safe and close to the airport. I will be in Nicaragua from April 2nd-11th. I will be in Esteli every nite except my last nite, saturday the 10th. I need to be at the airport by 4am sunday morning so I need a room in Managua for my last nite. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you NicaLiving members.

Hey all , Sharon here. bobby and I are thinking about heading out to the beach for a few days. We are wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a hostel that is decent and inexpensive for a night. Just in need of some ocean and seafood and a place (safe and clean) to stay for one night.
