If you’re staying at Managua Inn, you’ve already made a solid choice. It’s comfortable, quiet, and close to everything you actually need.
Here’s a quick guide to the stuff guests ask about the most. No taxis required. Just real places nearby that make your stay easier.
Metrocentro: Where You Can Find Almost Anything
Walk five minutes down the street and you’ll reach Metrocentro, one of the busiest shopping spots in Managua. It has:
-
ATMs from BAC and Banpro. They’re usually reliable.
-
Pharmacies like Kielsa and Económica if you need meds, bug spray, or just a tube of toothpaste.
-
Mini-markets and kiosks for water, snacks, or whatever you forgot to pack.
The place is clean, always busy, and air-conditioned. It’s a great spot to cool off or regroup.
Rock Munchies Pizza: Your Go-To for a Quick Bite
This local pizza place is just around the corner from the inn. The name is quirky, but the pizza is solid. It’s quick, affordable, and open late enough for post-flight hunger or a casual bite when you don’t feel like thinking too hard.
Other Useful Stuff Nearby
-
Need a clinic? There’s one a few blocks past Metrocentro. If you’re not sure where to go, just ask us.
-
Need to top up your phone? Claro has a booth inside the mall where you can grab a SIM or recharge credit.
-
Need a cab? You’ll usually find a few parked outside Metrocentro. Just walk up and ask.
Final Tip
You don’t need to go far to find the basics. Cash, food, medicine, and a working SIM card are all within walking distance. And if you ever need help, just come to the front desk. We’ve helped guests find everything from barbershops to birthday cakes.
Hi, I’m Michael, owner of Managua Inn, who has called Nicaragua home for the past 16 years. In 2009, I opened Managua Backpackers Inn, a 53-bed backpackers hostel. I’ve now changed things up a bit by opening Managua Inn in 2024.
Before hospitality, I spent a decade in finance, business analysis, and project management, skills I now channel into data-driven digital marketing and content that helps us compete with the big OTAs. I’ve booked more than 40,000 bed-nights, tested almost every bus route between Managua and the Caribbean, and learned invaluable insights from the guests that I’ve helped over the years.
When I’m not cleaning the swimming pool or replying to guest reviews, you’ll find me scouting out the next best coffee shop here in Managua (hint: so far, the coffee at the Puma gas station is pretty good!)
My mission: share honest, first-hand advice so you can experience Nicaragua like a seasoned local.
