Casa Gallo Pinto — Hotel in Sector Urbano

Glad I read the reviews before booking – "Best hostel I've ever stayed at" is 100% accurate. I stayed here based on the the price, free breakfast and fast internet speed. What I got was much more. The female dorm has 3 bunk beds with lots of room between beds so guests aren't disturbed. The top and bottom bunks have a ton of space in-between so you aren't disturbed by snoring or the other person moving. Like the kitchen, the rooms are impeccably organized. You get a large locker that fit my two big bags. I (a messy person and long-term traveller with lots of stuff) even was able to keep my things organized.

On top of how good Gallo Pinto is, the owners have another spot – Casa Caracola. Because I'm remote working, they invited me to work from Caracola's coworking space. All I can say is, WOW!! I've never worked from a place so calming, with great (stable wifi), and an ergonomic desk chair!!!!

Where you stay really makes a difference no matter where you go. I'm back in Granada in a week and know where I'll stay. Thanks so much for the BEST stay,...

I would return to Nicaragua just to stay at this place! Lorena and her husband Ben have been incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment I booked this stay. They are super responsive and arranged transport and tours that were cheaper and more reliable than other options in the market.

They really put their heart in maintaining this beautifully restored colonial house and its green courtyard garden! I chose this place to work remotely for a week and was happy to find the wifi to be so fast that I had no issue with any of my video calls. The garden with the hammocks and tables is a perfect oasis to change the scenery without exiting to the bustling city outside. Located next to La Merced, this place is also well positioned to many local establishments like Pali supermarket and local restaurants, so it is a great base to explore Granada.

No matter how long and why you are in Granada, I recommend choosing this place...

Perfect two week stay in Granada. The space is beautiful, the location central, and the guys who live there are helpful, welcoming, and fun. The kitchen is well-equipped, the shower pressure strong, and the bed in the room I stayed in was luxuriously large. I read reviews for many other places in the city that complained about stifling hot rooms. Not the case here. The room has great airflow thanks to the bamboo upper wall and open window, keeping it at a reasonable temperature. If you want to be surrounded by other foreigners, stay elsewhere, but if you want to experience a bit of local life, this...
