    Hotel La Polvora is in a nice part of town, slightly away but walking distance from the central park. The staff was friendly and the hotel well maintained and clean. The pool area was beautiful and we switched between morning coffee by the pool and in the garden by the fountain. The spacious shower was much appreciated each day, after long, hot tours of Nicaragua. Pro tip: Reserve one of the balcony rooms overlooking the pool.

    Delightful boutique hotel in Granada. The style is minimalist chic with beautiful dark hardwoods and handmade tile details. Its situated just outside the hustle of downtown, with an easy 5 minute walk to everything, which allowed us to relax at the end of the day, away from the crowds and sounds. The staff were incredible. Every single employee was gentle, kind and helpful. We were particularly impressed with the people. The proprietor and his crew genuinely care about your trip and that you enjoy their city. They helped us with everything from reservations, recommendations, even helped us to retrieve our lost baggage. We'll be back.

    My friend and I have stayed in the private cottage in the back of Hotel La Polvora twice now, and both times it has been an absolute pleasure. The house and the hotel itself are clean, wonderfully curated buildings, with beautiful tiles and bright colors throughout. The staff is very friendly and helpful; we felt very welcomed. The complimentary breakfast provided is delicious and fresh. And the owner Liam is great. He is kind and a joy to talk to, not to mention very helpful. During and after our stay, Liam helped us with taxis and gave us the best restaurant recommendations. I would definitely recommend staying here.

    Clean, Quiet, Relaxing, and 101% friendly staff. We stayed for 6 days, every day we had breakfast, Gallo pinto, or a fruit bowl, coffee and tea are free, lovely dogs and cats, child friendly and the staff, they are so helpful and friendly. The internet is fine, I got 5MB. They have a kitchen where you can cook or heat your meals and purified drinking water. I love the surroundings, the plans, the little fountain near the dinning area, and all. They offer tours, you can ask the owner or the lady and they will arrange it for you. They have family tours that you can combine to your liking. Don't miss this place!

    What a beautiful hotel, all the tile flooring and the Spanish hacienda style take the colonial time . Highly recommended!

    This experience was absolutely amazing. The staff offer the best experience you will get in a boutique Hotel. I can't explain how much I was impressed by the service and friendliness they offer. The hotel offers a nice pool, a huge well equipped kitchen and wonderful clean rooms. Special shutout to Salvador who was in charge during our stay. If you're lucky enough to have him check you in you will experience the same service we were lucky enough to receive.

    I recently stayed there for 2 nights in the hotels then had to upgrade to a house and Ian made it all possible. To boot I showed up without reservations and everything went smooth as can be. They have a sister property on the lake too. I highly recommend this place because of the insights offered. Our vacation went off without a glitch thanks to their awesome staff. P.S. eat their British breakfast, it's wonderful.

    The hotel is beautiful and a nice place to come back to after a day of sightseeing. The AC in the room and the pool were a blessing! Liam and his staff are very friendly and hospitable. They were helpful in making recommendations for places to eat and things to do. There is also a tile making business in the back of the hotel which they were willing to give a demonstration of and let me make one to take home as a souvenir. The hotel is located a little towards the outside of town making it about a 10-15 minute walk to the city center but being towards the outside also made it easier to drive in and out to different excursions.

    It is in the outskirts of the town, so you need to walk 10 minutes to the center. But thats about it regarding negatives(if you consider that as negative) Very nice stylish hotel, i.e. rooms, pool, kitchen, etc. The staff is super friendly, it is on a quiet crossroad, good atmosphere, always clean and you get free tasty coffee. And do yourself a favour, eat at least once dinner in the hotel, the dishes are amazing, you won't find much better in town.

    This a Colonial Spanish style construction type of Hotel located in Granada which ranks on top of the places to visit in Nicaragua if you are vacationing here. This hotel was built in the heart of the city near the walking boulevard, where all the night clubs and best restaurant with street seating is a must because of the warn weather during most of the year, in other words, that boulevard where the fun is. The rooms are midsized facing out to the street or the inner water fountain. Clean. Beds are okay a bit to hard for my back. Air conditioning with a fan used at all times. It reminds me a little to Cuzco Peru or Antigua Guatemala, if you ever went there. Price is on.the high end ..but is worth it...comparing to other higher price hotels. Service can be a little slow on the call. It has 24 security and open during midnight hours, means you can go party or late walk without a problem.

    Such a nice place to stay in Granada, it deserves their approach to be at home 'abroad.'

    It was wonderful, the pool larger than expected, the room clean and beautiful. The included Breakfast is quite basic, but you can order more for a charge. We felt very safe and taken care of.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Finding this place added to the wow factor, since there is no way you can deduce this oasis is nestled behind the gate, the street is totally not a tourist one.
