Boasting a garden, shared lounge, terrace and free WiFi, Hostel Clandestino Maderas is set in Playa Maderas, 600 metres from Maderas Beach and 8.1 km from Christ of the Mercy Nicaragua. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. It’s the perfect place if you are looking for some laid back, chill vibes where you can rest. The space is really open, in top of a hill with a nice view. The kitchen and the bathroom were super clean. Only 10 min from the beach by walk. :)

Hostel Julieta is set in Rivas, 33 km from Christ of the Mercy Nicaragua, and has a terrace. Free WiFi is available and private parking can be arranged at an extra charge.

All rooms in the hostel are fitted with a coffee machine. All guest rooms at Hostel Julieta come with a shared bathroom and bed linen. When I arrived I was tired and hungry because of my itinerary and no food on the flight. Rex, the owner, graciously cooked me a delicious meal and never charged for it! I was saved from going to sleep hungry. Julieta is always charming, knowledgable and informative with any questions. I will be using Hostal Julieta in the future whenever I need to pass through Rivas for my flights or visa runs.

Augusto Cesar Sandino International Airport is 97 km from the property. Very cool spot, nice wooden building with good airflow, comfortable beds, free cold drinking water!!! Good kitchen and very friendly owner and volunteers. About 100 meters to the beach and a 5 minute walk to the main area of town. Nice and quiet, and kittens!! For the price probably the best deal in town!

Set within 300 metres of San Juan del Sur Beach and 1.2 km of Christ of the Mercy Nicaragua, Hola Ola Hostel offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in San Juan del Sur.

All guest rooms at the hostel come with a private bathroom fitted with a shower. Felt like a family! Staff was amazing and accommodating and a blast. Hourly shuttle was so helpful and the surf lessons/shuttle to the beach was well worth it.

Situated in Moyogalpa, 39 km from Maderas Volcano, Hostel Life is Good features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The hostel also offers free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. I loved the atmosphere of the hostel. In the evening time they had candles everywhere and lights. It was so beautiful. They also have a lookout place where you can see the volcano during the day and stars at night time. It was a super quiet and chill place. They also had kitties which is a big bonus.

Located in Moyogalpa, Sophie House offers 3-star accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. The hostel also provides free WiFi and free private parking.

At the hostel, every room is equipped with a patio with a garden view. All units at Sophie House are equipped with a private bathroom and bed linen. It’s a bit aside from the port city Moyogalpa, so it’s very calm and almost no cars and people here, but still easy to reach by foot from the Centre (15 min walk). It has breakfast included and it’s home cooked food by the family. My room was very spacious, with 1 double and 1 single bed. They had outlets outside and inside, so i could work online here. Ask for both WiFi passwords! The host family was very nice and always tried to help, like when I needed a dentist they found a number. They don’t speak English (as most locals here) but with my broken Spanish and google translate we always understood each other. You can also ask them about the laundry option. Thanks for hosting me!
