Confirming all that has preceded.

My only gripe: The A/C in room 1 is located on the left parallel to the two twin beds. Despite stopping the oscillation feature it still blew cold air directly at one of the two twin beds. This kept my partner up most of night one and on night two we switched and I slept with track pants and a long sleeve shirt with my head under the covers. Maybe it's not high enough on the wall or would be better off at the head of the bed. Also the most room windows face east and the rising sun. If you don't like getting up early don't forget your eyemask! Otherwise, terrific.

While parking is supposedly safe on the street there is a lot around the corner that kept the car overnight for about $1.50 US.

Their recommended Isleta boat operator charges less than what some organized tours charge per person ! Very nice.

Oh and the crafts from the islands were nicer than most of the stuff in Massaya's market!

We stayed here for a total of 4 nights, and the hotel, the owners, the staff, and the location were our idea of what a friendly, small hotel should be. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The owners, Lidia and Ramon, were charming hosts. The staff were warm, friendly people who went out of their way to make us feel at home. All of our requests for information or assistance with day trips, bus schedules, hotel reservations on Ometepe Island, etc., were immediately answered and arranged. The breakfasts were wonderful, and the kitchen staff were always so accomodating. The location of the hotel was perfect for walking around the center of Granada, but quiet at night.

We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone interested in a beautiful boutique hotel, with charming staff, in the center of the lovely city of Granada. Did I mention that there is a small pool in the gorgeous intereor courtyard?

Read the reviews on here before we went and it lived up to all of them.

Great hotel - rooms, pool, breakfast (try the fruit plate - guys on the next table photographed it !) and location all excellent.

Staff made great trip advisors - recommended and helped us book trip to Ometepe.

Would recommend without hesitation

We chose Patio del Malinche from reviews on here and I am SO happy I chose to follow everyone's advise! The staff is AMAZING. We were warmly greeted by Marcos and he directed us to the best restaurant in town a block away from the hotel (we ate there twice!). The hotel is just the right size. not too big, not too small. the rooms are a decent size and very comfortable. The free breakfast and coffee was incredible and I looked forward to it every morning. The pool is refreshing after a long walking day of Granada and the drinks were great. This is the best, most affordable hotel I've ever stayed in. We were always greeted with a smile by every staff member while they proudly work to make their hotel the best in town and it's WORKING! The stay was so enjoyable that we chose to go back to Granada the last day of our vacation and stay here again. I can't wait to go back for more! Thanks for everything Patio del Malinche!
