We usually pay a bit more for a hotel, but there are no quality hotels in Granada. But bearing in mind the price, Patio del Malinche is excellent value. I would strongly endorse 50+traveller's comments and those of CharityIan. As they say, the rooms are very small. But we had no problem with hot water. And if you want to... more

I stayed at this hotel for 6 days at the end of May 2008. The good points first, the staff were all very friendly and helpful, the air conditioning was modern split system and really cooled the room down and the cable tv on offer had numerous english channels with even a german channel. Bad points, the room as always... more

My husband and I spent a week in Nicaragua, and Granada was our first stop. Hotel Patio del Malinche could not have been a better welcome to the country and it's impressive service-oriented culture towards tourism. We happened to be there during the unfortunate transportation strike, and everyone at Malinche went above and beyond to help us figure out how... more

According to many people we met in Granada, this hotel is the best in the city. If you are used to 5 star resorts, this is not the place for you (which applies to Granada as a whole). If you want a nicer than most, clean hotel with a friendly and helpful staff that is central to Nicaraguan culture, then... more

My fiancee and I were in Costa Rica last year and while it was stunning, we found there were simply too many americans (which we are, by the way). We chose Nicaragua without any knowledge of where we were going. We did make reservations for the first night in Managua and for one night here at Malinche after hearing good... more

Just a wonderful experience. Our one night stay turned into five nights. Our hosts Lidia, Ramon, and Pedro ( the dog) not to mention the rest of the staff made our stay an experience we want to do again next year. The rooms were immaculate, the AC very quiet, and the swimming pool a welcome relief after hiking around the... more

I hate to sound like an echo, but the other reviewers who guided me here hit the nail on the head. This is a wonderful place to stay. It's hard to define why. Very nice rooms, but not luxurious (nowhere in Granada is). The pool is small. But this is just a great place to lie in a hammock (of... more

Confirming all that has preceded. My only gripe: The A/C in room 1 is located on the left parallel to the two twin beds. Despite stopping the oscillation feature it still blew cold air directly at one of the two twin beds. This kept my partner up most of night one and on night two we switched and I slept... more

We stayed here for a total of 4 nights, and the hotel, the owners, the staff, and the location were our idea of what a friendly, small hotel should be. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The owners, Lidia and Ramon, were charming hosts. The staff were warm, friendly people who went out of their way to make us... more
