Roughly a twenty-five minute transfer from Managua Airport the hotel is ideally placed to visit all of the sights of the capital. The hotel itself is relatively low-rise with five accommodation floors. Our room was spacious with a king sized bed and enough room to practice your Salsa. A two piece bathroom with a separate sink and dressing area was a nice touch. Everything was very comfortable. Downstairs the pool area was busy as we were there over Easter which highlighted the lack of outside space off of the formal bar. At least one complementary bottle of water would have been appreciated on arrival especially when the temperature was 34°C. The service was excellent and rum cocktails devine. Thoroughly enjoyed our time at the hotel that is highly recommended.

“Good choice in Managua”

Like much of Managua, the Hilton is still trying to recover from what COVID did to the tourism industry. 4 out of 5 for Managua, would be a 3 out of 5 in most cities where you have more choices. The bright spot is the service, from the front desk to restaurant staff to the doorman, everyone is... more

Like much of Managua, the Hilton is still trying to recover from what COVID did to the tourism industry. 4 out of 5 for Managua, would be a 3 out of 5 in most cities where you have more choices. The bright spot is the service, from the front desk to restaurant staff to the doorman, everyone is very friendly and helpful. Got an upgrade to my room, which was huge and in good condition, with a decent view from the east side. Location is good, short walk to a number of restaurants and only about 20 minutes to the airport. Where it did not shine was the lack of some standard amenities. Coffee maker, but no coffee supplied (even when you asked the front desk, which is pretty bizarre since Nicaragua is a major coffee exporter); on site restaurant had limited hours and limited selection; lounge was closed; gift shop was closed; perhaps most bizarre was breakfast room service cards on the doors are available, but they don't do room service (I ordered and nothing ever showed - when I called down they told me to go to the restaurant - weird). Bottom line - felt like a hotel in the midst of COVID, not one 18 months post. I'm sure it will improve over time.

“Enough ”

It is old fashioned hotel, it needs a renewal in the electric installation you have not enough electrical outlets near the bed. Bathroom is old and the water clogs, AC is good at keeping it cold though uncomfortable because it hits one specific point of the room. Internet speed is just good, ... more

It is old fashioned hotel, it needs a renewal in the electric installation you have not enough electrical outlets near the bed. Bathroom is old and the water clogs, AC is good at keeping it cold though uncomfortable because it hits one specific point of the room. Internet speed is just good, there is no ironboard, this issue about having one complimentary bottle of water who thought about that in a humid and hot location. Restaurant has few options for lunch and dinner, also breakfast buffet was the same thing everyday. Parking space and the access to the parking lot is not enough and clear to access. Though front desk team are kind at their job.

“Serviceable”

This hotel more or less does the job. My experience was not as negative as the more negative ones below, though I also wouldn't agree with the sentiment that it feels up to international Hilton standards. Everything is a little tired and worn to the point that all the contemporary Hilton-branded ... more

This hotel more or less does the job. My experience was not as negative as the more negative ones below, though I also wouldn't agree with the sentiment that it feels up to international Hilton standards. Everything is a little tired and worn to the point that all the contemporary Hilton-branded materials in the room seem a little jarring compared to the surroundings. Also wouldn't recommend the taxi services from the hotel which are massively over-priced. That said, I did enjoy the gym (mind you, only one treadmill was working) and the restaurant was pretty decent. In context, it's a reasonable option in Managua.
