Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location a 20 minite walk from the bus station and a few minutes from town centre. The staff couldn't have been more attentive, asking if we wanted free coffee water, room cleaned etc. The room was modern with a fan and the bathroom had hot water and free toothpaste, razor etc. There was a lounge area with great views over the town . Some of the rooms don't have a window but we were shown a selection and chose one with a window for the same price.

    Cool place for backpackers in Esteli. The hostel is cute and dorms and bathrooms are clean. Part of the hostel is the treehuggers travel agency through which you can book tours to Somoto Canyon, Miraflor and more. The staff is incredibly helpful and goes out of their way to help you.

    The people running the business were amazing. The attention that I got from them was amazing. The location was right in the middle of all the action. Good shopping, great coffee shop on corner, and the food selection was emence there are resteraunts and bars and cigar lounges everywhere. And it's very safe.

    Good location in safe area close to centre. Staff were friendly, not much English spoken but that was no problem. We had use of kitchen and eggs provided for breakfast, which was amazing. Comfy bed. Clean room and bathroom. Also, can recommend Alitas Monkey wings restaurant a block away. Buzzing with locals, even on a Monday night.

    Good hostel with a good kitchen. Location is close to the Central Park with bars and restaurants round. However it is a 20 min walk to terminal north and 30 min walk to terminal south (both are 10 mins from each other). They have a fantastic travel agency and the staff have excellent information. Canyon de Somoto is an awesome adventure! The cigar tour is really I te resting too. Sometimes it is hard to find someone who works there, but if you just go across the street to the restaurant, someone can help you. Very quiet hostel.

    The farm is an amazing place, far away from the cities it's great for relaxing and getting away from the backpacker superhighway. Really kind people living and working here who are great to chat to There are great tours that you can do. We especially enjoyed riding the horses and walking through the protected cloud Forrest.

    super nice hostel with a great breakfast - the guy running breakfast is SO nice and friendly - he seemed a little overworked and very busy (not his fault) so they probably need to get him some help, but it was great. very comfortable room and AMAZING bathroom and shower.
