Everything was ok the only thing they don’t clean the rooms, or change the towels for clean ones no even toilet paper… I asked them to do it but they didn’t. And the receptionist can sell you when some one asked for you on the phone and it can make you in trouble…

Want to experience a lovely colonial hotel, Hotel Polvora is the place to stay!
It offers large, comfortable rooms, a beautiful pool area, and great sitting areas to relax.
It is less than a 15 minute walk to the center square. The streets are a delight to walk with lots of cool shops and cafes.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel. Our host Kevin was delightful and provided us great service. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated. I am not a fan of big dogs, but Jasmin, the house dog was sweet and well behaved. I was a little nervous about leaving my car in the street, since there is no private parking, but all was well. We were made aware of all the security available for the street. I wish I would have had more time to spend in this lovely hotel.

Staying at La Polvora was one of the best things about our trip to Granada. Liam the owner has built a beautiful and charming boutique hotel with an excellent staff of caring, and professional people. It is a pleasant 10-15 minute walk from city centre and thus is not only on a quiet street it is also a more authentic local neighborhood.

The room was spacious and attractive with beautiful Tile floor and French doors open right onto the pool patio. The pool is always impeccably clean and lovely, surrounded by banana trees and nice landscaping. We swam about 5 times a day and was a welcome oasis after touring in the very hot streets of Granada.

Made to order Nica breakfast is great and the indoor/outdoor kitchen and dining area (complete with lush garden in the centre) is a great place to cook the fresh food bought at the market. One night some other guests and us cooked a big dinner/bbq and the staff and the owner dined with us at a big family style table. It was a really wonderful experience to share and get to know them while we stayed there, and to thank them for everything.

In our 7 days in Granada we did most traditional activities and La Polvora arranged everything for us. Thanks to Liam and his attentive staff we were even able to spend a day on a spectacular private island, and be accompanied to the Noche de Aguizotes festival, a rare experience for tourists but they made it happen!

This is by far my favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed and you will love it!

The property was not bad for the third world country. However, the staff, even though trying to be polite and attentive, were not professional at all. The breakfasts were the biggest issue that I had. First of all two eggs and a small bun is not sufficient for a grown man. The same thing every morning and other choices (not much different from standard eggs) would be additional charge. I got bored after one week of the same, so I requested a little cheese added to my eggs. And after nine more mornings of eggs with cheese, I found out that the owner was charging me extra $3.00 for that cheese. Come on, you should be happy to add those few shreds of cheese to make my breakfast less boring. Anyway, during check out I found out that $27 was added to my bill for this.
Their way of handling food is disgusting; They do not use gloves or tongs and the hygiene of the lady who prepares food is questionable, to say the least.
Before arriving at the hotel, I requested a pick up at the airport. His price was $45. It seemed steep to me, but I thought it was the standard rate. When I was in Granada, I found out that the going rate was between $30 and $35. There are long line ups of taxis at the airport, and you can easily find one for $35 or less with a little bit of negotiating. So, the La Polvóra owner is just taking advantage of people who are not familiar with going rate and decide to trust him.

Beautiful hotel in beautiful Granada, Nicaragua

We loved the beautiful hotel and our beautiful, comfortable room with hot water in our private bathroom. Enjoyed the great pool and its surroundings. Excellent service, extremely well run with staff that took very good care of us, including Renny at the front desk (who speaks good English and thinks he doesn't!). Liam, the helpful owner, provided terrific restaurant recommendations and other suggestions. We enjoyed the breakfast, served in the pretty courtyard. We usually chose the perfectly cooked eggs and beautiful fresh fruit.
The hotel is a bit off the beaten track. This has advantages. It is very quiet, and we enjoyed the real neighborhood feel of the area. But it is a bit of a walk to the center, would be a very fast taxi ride.
We didn't want to leave!

Great Hotel a quick taxi ride to town

We really enjoyed our 3 nights at Hotel Palvora. The room was spacious and clean, the breakfast good, and the staff helpful. The location was a bit further from town center than is optimal, but I do think it was quieter that way, and it's only a couple dollars for a taxi. The children loved the pool, and it was convenient they had a small menu available for lunch and dinner. We used their services for tours and drivers which was handy and reasonably priced, although the driver we had spoke no English, which would have been problematic had one person in our group not spoken decent Spanish. I feel like he was new and still unfamiliar with all of the tourist sites. It was not so much a tour as a drive and drop. Despite that small disappointment, we very much enjoyed our stay, and I would book here again.

Lovely stay at Hotel La Polvora

My friend and I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in March and had a really lovely time. The hotel itself is extremely clean, facilities are lovely, and the staff were nothing but helpful and welcoming. The only thing I would warn about this place is that it is a little removed from the downtown core (about a 10 minute walk), which was not ideal for days that reached 40 degrees C - however, would be no issue at all on more temperate days. Overall, it was a wonderful experience at Hotel La Polvora and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Great location in Granada! Beautiful Inn!

First of all, if you rent a car, be sure to visit a MovieStar location and update your Sim card with internet if you don't get cell service in Nicaragua! You'll need MapQuest or Google Maps to get where you need to go. We rented a car and found the city of Granada just fine but a lot of the streets aren't labeled and we finally asked some people near a church for directions to Hotel La Polvora. Everyone knows where it is!
Once we got to the hotel we were able to park in front. Our car remained there for the entire 4 days stay and I wouldn't recommend driving around the city. Cabs are plentiful and they charge $1.00 US per person to go anywhere in the city.
The staff was very welcoming and we were shown our room right away. The hotel is built in the colonial style with the lobby/entrance right on the street and then an inner courtyard with outdoor kitchen/dining and then the pool area was in the back of the property. Rooms were downstairs and upstairs and were really comfortable. If you want quieter accomodations ask for rooms upstairs and not facing the pool. The pool is saltwater, smaller, but very lovely. The place was good for children and we experienced a lot of kids while we were there and they all loved the pool! We did too. This is a good family place to stay if you have children with you.
Breakfast was served mornings until 9 AM. They also have lunch and dinner available for purchase except on Wednesdays when staff goes home early.

Absolute Perfection - A Boutique Gem

We travelled to Nicaragua in February of this year, and our stay at La Polvora was something out of a dream. The photographs are beautiful, but they hardly do this property justice. Our stay was incredible! The staff are charming and very polite, the breakfast is delicious, and the pool area is a gorgeous little oasis. The hotel is teeming with the beautiful, handmade tiles that are made on site. I truly scoured the internet for the perfect place to stay in Granada for a fair price, and La Polvora blew our minds - I could not believe I had found such a wonderful place! The rooms are exquisite and the upkeep is better than I have experienced in some 4-star hotels. You will not be disappointed staying here. A highly recommended hotel. If we ever found ourselves back in Granada, we would return to La Polvora in a heartbeat!

Clean, Comfy and Centrally Located

The hotel was very helpful even before we arrived. They set-up transportation for us from the airport in Managua to Leon and the driver was there waiting with a sign upon our arrival. You could not get a more central location in Leon. It is close to everything, but because it is a couple of blocks off of the town square, it is a little more quiet. Or room was very clean and comfortable. There were several choices for breakfast at the hotel and each came with an amazing fruit plate and wonderful Nicaraguan coffee. The staff were all very helpful when asking for help with directions and dining suggestions. The only negative was that one of the businesses next to/near the hotel was playing very loud music one night and our room was practically vibrating. It ended by 10pm but since we were exhausted from sightseeing, we were in bed by 9pm. As this was on a Monday evening I am thinking it was probably for a special occasion and not an everyday occurrence. Overall, we were very satisfied with our choice and would stay here again.

Do not judge it from the exterior overall if you travel in Granada in this period (May 2017) as there are a lot of roadwork and the street is dusty and dirty.
