Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
It is a wonderful hidden place in the middle of nature. Gilbert was the perfect host. Although there isn’t a pool or sea close by, also our children found it the best place we visited so far in Nicaragua. It’s a quiet and comfortable location and Gilbert prepares excellent food for the complete family. His neighbour, a farmer, is also very willing to take you on a trip around the area. I would recommend this country house to everyone.
Hostal Mariela is a cozy family run hostel, located close to Cortan Norte bus station in Esteli. Cotran Sur is a walkable distance too; or a super quick and cheap shared taxi ride away. The location worked perfect for me, as I planned to take buses to nearby locations such as Miraflor, Estanzuela etc. It is close to supermarket and local shops, so you can buy fresh produce for your meals. The rooms are clean and comfortable; kitchen is clean and well equipped. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Super convenient.
I made a mistake with my Booking dates and still they hosted me when I appeared, even when they were closed. Staff was super nice and they prepared the room for us. was clean and quiet and super near the bus stop where the night bus reaches.
This property is hidden gem of the north of Nicaragua! We loved the peace and tranquillity of the suite, and the climate is perfect. Great views of the nearby mountain too.
The host went out of his way to make our stay comfortable, enjoyable, and was a pleasure to make his acquaintance! He cooked us delicious, healthy, and wonderful food for our stay. I can’t recommend his cooking highly enough.
There‘s absolutely nothing to complain about - the Host Alexis is super kind, his doggo is a cutie, the room is super big and new (especially for the cheap price), bed was comfortable, there‘s even a microwave, a kettle, some cups and coffeepowder in the room for free!
Good location in centre of Esteli. Really comfy area to chill, hammocks, rocking chairs and a big 'L' sofa.
Quiet hostel. Worth noting, if you are a solo traveler looking to meet other travelers, it will be limited in Esteli. We loved that it was so quiet though. Was just two of us in a 9 bed dorm for our entire stay!
