Where to Stay in Managua: Hotels, Guesthouses & B&Bs
Welcome to Managua, a city that’s as vibrant as it is welcoming. I’ve lived here for over sixteen years, and I know firsthand how the right neighborhood and lodging can transform your trip from “just another visit” into a true Nicaraguan adventure. Whether you’re seeking quiet garden patios, friendly local guesthouses, or a boutique hotel near the action, Managua has an option to suit your style and budget.
Managua Neighborhood Guide
Choosing where to stay means balancing convenience, safety, and atmosphere. Here are Managua’s top areas:
- Los Robles (Southeast):
A leafy, residential district famous for its embassies and upmarket restaurants. You’ll find modern guesthouses with private gardens, ideal for families and couples who value peace without giving up city access. - Centro Histórico (“Old” Downtown):
The beating heart of Managua. Bustling markets, colonial landmarks, and museums are within walking distance. Perfect for history buffs—but it can get noisy after dark. - Carretera Norte (Airport Corridor):
Practical choice if you have an early flight or business meetings. International chains and budget hotels line this route; transportation is straightforward, though there’s less local character. - Carretera Masaya (South):
A bridge between city life and the Masaya Volcano. Many boutique B&Bs and eco-lodges offer easy day trips to nearby natural attractions.
Accommodation Types
- Hotels: From international brands to small boutique operations. Most offer 24-hour reception, restaurants, and onsite parking.
- Guesthouses & B&Bs: Often family-run, with personalized service and breakfast. Often in residential neighborhoods for a more “local” feel.
- Vacation Rentals: Apartments or homes you rent directly, ideal for longer stays or groups. You’ll trade hotel amenities for extra space and privacy.
