Managua Inn

I was tired when i arrived, The owner tried to explain too much. It was a general content such as wash the dishes if you have used them in the kitchen, but even though this is common sense, I ordered it to read it carefully. I was annoyed from check-in and tried to buy a coke, but they said they didn't accept dollar coins and only paper dollars, making it inconvenient.

I could write a lot about this place, very little of it good - but we can start there It was pretty clean. Chris at the front desk was very helpful. Michael (one of the owners) seemed normal/decent from the brief interactions that I had with him On to the negative 1) They charge for late check in, which is not disclosed before booking 2) The dorm rooms are terrible - the one I was in had several bunk beds, and a large bed in the center for when it was rented as a private that just took up space (don't you DARE touch it or put stuff on it). There was a single straight backed wooden chair, and a single small table with ONE fan on it that barely moved any air. Nowhere to hang clothes, put anything, get stuff out of the way, or be comfortable 3) The RULES. Ok we get it, ya got to have rules. But Bob would preach about them every time that he saw you, whether he perceived some violation or not. It was obnoxious - he literally was chuckling and bragging about how he got the opportunity to throw away peoples food the day I arrived because it wasn't labelled properly, even though he said he knew it was theirs. It was impossible to have a normal conversation with him, or end it - he just wanted to talk about himself and the RULES (which are posted everywhere, in case you missed them). The RULES also would prevent normal quiet hostal stuff - like reading on the couch at night, because your dorm is hot or other people don't want the light on. It is one thing to have a quiet hostal, another to make it awkward and uncomfortable to exist, which is the effect of the zealous enforcement. 4) Security isn't that great. Small lockers up front for small valuables, nothing to prevent staff or other people from stealing stuff (see other reviews) The pool wasn't that clean, communal bathrooms out of TP in the morning, and overall it just wasnt worth the headache of staying there and feeling unwelcome the entire time. The hostal had a poor atmosphere that felt like it was the tiny domain of an overcontrolling insecure guy with no social awareness or grace. I do not recommend staying here
