Friendly and cozy
Pros:

The lady was really helpful even though we couldn't communicate together because my spanish is rubbish she helped me find an atm and a taxi to get cash out. She also assisted me with a taxi once i got to Ometepe which was really kind of her. Nice shower, clean, comfortable bedding. Great aircon. Location was fine only a few minutes to the ferry.

Cons:

Alot of flies around but they were all over the town so it can't be helped plus the aircon soon dissipated them.

Pésima para el precio.
Pros:

No me gusto nada. Ni siquiera ofrecieron el wafi, no lo use, no había agua para bañarse, llega a buscar ala encargada y ni salió, no se sabe si estaba dormida o no quiso atender.

Cons:

Sin agua, mucho sancudos, un TV muy pequeño.

Pros:

The property is very outdated — everything feels old and worn out. The bedding was not very comfortable, and there was an unpleasant smell in the room. The plumbing is extremely old as well.

We arrived after 7pm and absolutely everything in the area was closed, so there was nothing to eat.

We booked this room last minute after missing our ferry and left on the first ferry the next morning.
The caretaker however was friendly.

Cons:

I don’t understand how this property has such a high rating on Booking (close to 9). It really makes me question the reliability of the reviews, as they don’t seem to reflect our experience.

Sweet People with an Adorable Hotel
Pros:

The gentleman who checked us in was really sweet and understanding of us trying to speak our best Spanish. He walked us to the room and showed us where everything was. Our stay itself was comfortable, clean and relaxing. We just stayed the night so we could catch the Ferry in the morning. The next day the caretaker lady greeted us. We gave her our key as the check out process. After we talked with her thru Google translate. She was the kindest, sweetest soul and walk us to the front gate. She then pointed in the direction for us to walk to the Ferry. Loved this place and the people who very welcoming!!

Cons:

It Was Fabulous!!
