Nothing, location is a bit far from the northern bus station but you can take a bus.

Very nice couple, always happy to help you! The accommodation is confortable and cheap in comparison with the other hostels.

I don't like closing the main door (no key), but this is common problem with hotel and hostels

Amazing nicaragua family

if I have to find something to say here, it would be that there was no possibility for adjusting the temperature of the shower, which was cold, but with the warm weather there, one does not really need a warm shower anyway, so it was not a big issue and it seems to be the norm there.

Dona Candida is a legendary host, who is working around the clock to look after everyone and make everyone feel at home. She cooks a beautiful breakfast and any other meal for very little extra ($1 for breakfast and $2 for lunch/dinner/supper) and creates a lovely relaxed homely atmosphere. She invited me to come into town with her when she was going in anyway, so we went on the local bus together for very little cost (6 Cordobas one direction) and she took me to the coffee museum and the cathedral and the park and a few shops in town, which was lovely. She also offered other outings, but I had other things in hand so did not go. She is very willing to have a chat at any time and just makes one feel at home. She is a legend!! :-) Her husband took his car out and gave their daughter and me a lift to the bus to Managua and had bought the bus tickets in the morning for us. You are truly treated as one of the family. Everything is spotless and the cost is very reasonable.

Although the kitchen was well equipped, it was a bit cluttered. But to be honest it's quite understandable since you are staying in someone's home.

The room we stayed in was comfortable and clean, it also had quite a bit of space. The bathroom was clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. Candilla was a super amazing host!! She was really kind and loved having conversations with us while we cooked. She was also really helpful in knowing how to get to different places around Matagalpa.

Candida is a great cook, they make you feel like you are part of the family. They were willing to go completely out of their way to help me.They even found me a full time apartment to live in. They helped me get the best selection and prices on furniture and appliances . They guided me on so many things in order for me to get settled in my new apartment .This family made my moving to Nicaragua the best experience I could have ever imagined. I am so thankful to have met them. I’m sure we will be friends for many years to come.

City centre is a 15 min walk.

Most loving lady, makes you feel like home. She also did our laundry for 100cordobas. Truly amazing.

It didn’t bother me at all, but it’s good to know this room (the one in which I stayed) is right off the kitchen, and all voices can be heard as they are just on the other side of the thin wall. For those who like to sleep late or go to bed early, this could be problematic without earplugs.

Run by a lovely couple quick with a smile, this Homestay was clean and fairly quiet and just enough of a walk from the center of the city to feel like living in a local neighborhood. I recommend getting your meals at the Homestay (changes daily), each one for a decent price, as the hostess is an excellent cook. 15 minute walk from the bus station or less if you ask the bus driver to drop you closer on the way into town. Two birds and a little dog also live at the house.

The bus left at 6:05 and not 6:20.

Loved everything! Probably the most welcome we've felt in any place we've stayed at. Would highly recommend:)

Everything was good.

Superfriendly family. Private bathroom. Help to park the car. Early morning coffee. Nice bed.

No window in downstairs room. Not a huge problem as can open a door outside but it was a shame. Two little parrots are owned by the hosts, and stay in the courtyard outside. They are cute and fun, but on the other hand they do wake up when the sun rises (pre 6am) which got a little annoying.

Hosts were excellent. Breakfast was delicious. Value for the stay was also excellent.

Amazing host, really kind and wonderful family, can't do enough to help! Really enjoyed my stay in the beautiful home!

Just a little far from the city center.

Owners very kind an helpful. I mentioned I love tiste and the owner brought me some, five minutes later. The house is very comfortable and you are allowed access to all areas, very easy going.

Staying with a family is so much more personal and enjoyable than a hotel

The location is a bit out of the city. If you don't mind to walk about 15 min, it is fine.

The atmosphere. Really cosy. The landlady cooked good food.

Nothing, everything was just perfect. However, make sure you close your windows before dark because otherwise the mosquitoes WILL eat you alive.

Mrs. Candida is a complete sweetheart. Greets everybody as if they were her grandchildren. She noticed I was coughing at night, and the next day she even gave me a bottle of cold medicine to take with me. Also, I highly recommend to order before hand breakfast because it was extremely delicious and fulfilling; Nica breakfast, a bowl of fruit and coffee. The property is extremely clean, and if you have a car, like we did, you can park by the property; we were lucky that the garage space inside the house was open, and they offered us to park there. We will definitely stay there next time we go to Matagalpa. I’ve been traveling for 2 months and this is by far my best stay! Thank you Mrs. Candida for being so awesome!
