Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
I can confirm that this hostel (unlike some other ones in Managua) is still open and operating! I stayed here in July 2021.
The guys at the front desk are helpful. They can give you info about the other places where you might want to travel in Nicaragua.

Amazing service...
Very friendly, great location, decent facilities. For a budget, it works great. Not the nicest, but the people more than make up for it! Will definitely be adding this to my Managua rotation of go-to places to stay.

No response to shuttle request!
The hostal failed to answer my request for their shuttle, so I was left to find my own ride to the hostal.
Though I was getting a private Bathroom, but it was a shared Bathroom. Otherwise clean, and average rated.
We booked a room online and received the confirmation email. We use Orbitz all the time and never had an issue with a reservation. When we get to the hotel they said they didn’t have any more rooms available for us. We asked them if they had received an email with our reservation and they said they did but they couldn’t explain why a room wasn’t available for us if the reservation was confirmed. They could have at least emailed us to let us know about this before we drive all over the city to find the place. They offfered to take us to another hostal around the area but when we looked it up online it looked awful. We ended up just driving around Managua looking for another hotel. Very disappointing!
My wife and i stayed there overnight waiting for a flight. Wish we had stayed longer. Its surrounded by restaurants within a 2 block radius. There is a grocery store near by. The bus terminal is only a 15 - 20 minute walk, though we took a cab...it was a long day and raining.
This hostel includes some amenities that other hostels in Nicaragua don't offer. For example, the shared bathrooms have soap dispensers and paper towels. Free towel rental. There's also a pool and Netflix on the tv. There are two kitchens so you can buy food at the nearby supermarket and cook your dinner here. Shared bathrooms have cold water showers. The free breakfast is pancakes, coffee, and sometimes fruit.
