Hotel El Almendro

We only stayed one night, and someone was there to greet us even though we arrived after 10 p.m. There’s a bar nearby that stays open until 12:30 on weekdays. Our room was spacious and had a small kitchen.

The staff arranged a taxi for me when my flight was delayed and I arrived close to midnight. They stayed up to make sure I got there safely, which meant a lot. The hotel has several lovely interior patios, and breakfast was simple but delicious: gallo pinto, eggs, avocado, fresh fruit, and cheese. Our room was clean and comfortable, with a spacious bathroom. I’d absolutely stay here again if I’m in Managua.

A comfortable little oasis in Managua. The rooms are quiet and well appointed, and the staff are friendly, professional, and accommodating. It’s handy for microbus travel, with plenty of restaurants and services nearby.

We visit Managua a few times a year and stay overnight, and we always choose this place. The staff are welcoming and handle every request. The room is clean, and the air conditioning and hot water have always worked. Breakfast is simple but satisfying. The pool is small, though on each visit my wife, teen daughter, and I have been the only ones using it. If I could give six stars, I wouldn’t hesitate.
