My stay at El Almendro Hotel was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. The service alone deserves more than five stars.

Before I even arrived, Erika and Henri were incredible. They were attentive, responsive, and made everything seamless. They coordinated an airport driver for me — and I 100% recommend taking them up on this. The driver they arranged, José, was excellent: punctual, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I landed. Honestly, the hotel should promote this service more because it made such a difference. He drove us around the city and did two private tours for us. You can coordinate with him.

The hotel itself is not fancy or luxurious — but it has everything you truly need: strong air conditioning, hot water, reliable Wi-Fi, clean and most importantly, safety. The property is gated, secure, and the staff is always present and courteous. I felt completely safe throughout my stay.

The breakfast staff and housekeeping team are AMAZING — truly better service than I’ve experienced at some five-star resorts. Breakfast is included, and it’s fresh, delicious, and prepared with so much care. Every morning started off perfectly.

The location is also very convenient — just minutes from MetroCentro Mall. I even ordered food through PedidosYa during my stay, and everything was a success with no issues at all.
I would absolutely return and highly recommend El Almendro Hotel to anyone visiting the area.

I had a wonderful stay at this gated, one-level hotel. The beautiful courtyard and small pool create a relaxing atmosphere, and the entire property is extremely clean and well maintained. The rooms are spacious with a nice-sized kitchenette, making it easy to prepare simple meals. The complimentary breakfast was a great bonus, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. A large modern shopping mall, is just a 7-8 min walk away. I would definitely recommend this property to other travellers. Gracias!

The staff was great ! The room was clean and a great location … this worked well for my partner and I because we could cook and metro center is a 2 minute walk . The neighborhood is safe and quiet and 10-15 minutes away from everything we needed . It could use remolding but for the location and price it’s perfect I would recommend!

Nothing memorable one way or the other

A very normal, average stay. The receptionist was a sweetheart. They have gated parking, which definitely seems to be needed in that area, but somebody has to open and close the gate every time you come and go, which is a bit of a nuisance. I probably would not stay there again.

Super customer service and nice hotel

When I first arrived, there was a large solid gate that had to be opened by the staff to allow entrance. At first, I thought that would be an inconvenience, but it was not. The staff was super efficient about monitoring as I approached, and opening the gate for me. I had to leave early in the morning (4 AM) and the staff member was ready for me to open the gate for my departure. So what I thought was going to be an issue, was not. Everything else at the hotel was wonderful. My room was excellent, they had a small pool, which was refreshing And the staff was extremely helpful in so many ways. The location was also good, close to restaurants and a good sized shopping mall.

The hotel property and the rooms are very clean and welcoming. I moved to a larger studio when I discovered I needed to stay longer. Both beds were very comfortable, multiple quality pillows and high end sheets and blanket. A.C. worked perfect in both rooms. The staff are excellent in their duties and customer service. Fresh omelettes, fruit and coffee by the pool every morning was very nice. The outside of the hotel is very understated, but once you come into the property, it is very impressive and comfortable. It is walking distance to a convenience store, many restaurants and a mall that has many restaurants and stores to choose from. I reccomend this hotel if you are needing to be in this area.

Wonderful Hotel Staff

We stay at Hotel El Almendro each time we are in Managua.
The staff are very pleasant and helpful, aiming to please. They are very accommodating by arranging transportation to and from the airport, and other locations. They also help with ordering from restaurants when you don't want to leave the hotel for a meal.
The rooms are clean and comfortable.
The facility is very peaceful in a very chaotic city. We enjoy the flora and water features.
Hanging out by the pool is pleasant anytime of day or evening.
We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return again and again.

Perfect location

A little on the over priced side as I paid 100 $ per night. The staff was excellent.
The shower had only a trickle of hot water so very disappointing. The pool is really a kiddie pool and walls so high, it’s really not a good location for sunbathing.
It’s a great hotel, perfect for passing through and going on to the next city.
There were more lavish rooms, I stayed in the basic with kitchenettes

We will stay there again!

We stay in Managua regularly, but this was our first time at Hotel El Almendro. The customer service was fantastic—very helpful. When we asked about where to eat locally, the manager (who was on her way out) offered to drive us the 3 block rather than give directions.
The bathroom was very large with lots of counter space. The bed was comfy. The room was a bit small to be able to lay out suitcases, but reasonable. The only minor inconvenience was that the water pressure is low, so showers are a bit wimpy. But, the hot water is very hot, so you can mix cold water in to help.
Breakfast was yummy, and the ambiance was superb.
Even though the hotel is in the city, it was quite quiet—no earplugs needed. We will definitely stay there again.

Great hotel option in Managua

The hotel is clean and comfortable, with friendly and accommodating staff. I appreciated the details - the courtyards with fountains, tasty breakfasts, hot showers, and free bottles of water. The hotel is very close to the UCA bus station, a mall, and several good dining options. Unfortunately, you'll have to take a taxi at night as the neighborhood isn't the most walkable.

Nice hotel near busses to Leon

This is a nice little hotel right by the university. We wanted to be able to walk to the bus to Leon, and this was perfect. We arrived at the airport in the evening and were picked up by the taxi I arranged through the hotel ($15). We had dinner at a good restaurant right across the street that serves typical Nicaraguan fare, then settled in. The breakfast was nice- Gallo pinto, eggs, breads, fruit, coffee, juice. The air conditioning was too cold, but I should have asked them how to turn it off.

Nice Hotel.. Dont loose your hope at the concierge

Had a last minutes need for a place to stay. Went. To hyatts and holiday in sold out. Expedia (great tool) suggested this with 4.5 review . At the concierge, my colleagues we're doubting, once we got our room, it's an amazing surprise. At 1/6 of the brand hotels cost its Very cozy, super clean, and comfortable bedding. The pillows set is different so one can find comfort at preference. Personalized breakfast up to 11am. The pictures you see as re real 100%.

If you are a pool lover for swimming, this is not a place for you. The pool is more of a bigger jaccuzzi for 5 peole at the time.

Probably best for tourist than business.

Good for the price, nice staff, ok area for Managua (close to Metrocentro mall, and a few local restaurants around - which is good because the hotel doesn't have any restaurants).

My room was rather small and dark, but had a desk and chair to work. Tiny bathroom with questionable water pressure (but hot water that was actually hot!)

They didn't change the towels daily.

Breakfast was typical local fare with fruits, gallo pinto and eggs cooked to order.

Wifi worked and looks like they had good coverage across the hotel.

Laundry service was prompt and pretty good.

Overall OK experience, no sure I'll repeat tho.
