Los Patios Hotel Granada

Our two night stay at Los Patios in May 2014 was delightful. The property itself is beautiful with tons of common space that takes advantage of Granada's lovely weather to maximize the feel of being outside. Our room was lovely with high ceilings, a rain shower, and a comfy bed. I thought that the hotel was perfectly located. It is quick walking distance to the downtown area, but not close enough to hear late night noise. But what set our stay at Los Patios apart was the service we received. Los Patios arranged for a transfer for us from the Managua airport, and greeted us with a juice drink at arrival. Each morning we had a wonderful Nica breakfast with a giant bowl of fresh fruit and wonderful coffee (you also have the option of Continental breakfast, but I strongly recommend the Nica breakfast!). Then, as we figured out what we wanted to do with our day, the staff provided helpful recommendations and assisted us with booking taxis and activities. I know that we paid a bit of a premium for the taxis and activities booked through the Los Patios staff, but the $5 extra was generally worth it for us due to the ease of booking and the accountability for the taxi driver or tour operator.

This was a wonderful little hotel on a somewhat quiet street but easy walking distance to the heart of Granada. We spent a total of 5 nights here at the end of April/beginning of May. It doesn't look like much from the street but once you enter through the gates into the courtyard you instantly feel at home. The staff was amazingly helpful and attentive to anything that was needed. The morning breakfast was fresh, plentiful, and delicious. Coffee was the best we found during our entire stay in Nicaragua. By the time we left we actually felt like we were family. We will most certainly return!

The hotel staff is very helpful and friendly and the hotel itself is small and intimate with open areas perfect for lounging and is close to the action of Calle Calzada.

Los Patios is so beautiful I practically gasped when we entered. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is one of the most gorgeously designed and inviting hotels I have ever been inside. The open courtyard contains the reception, kitchen, pool, swings, dining tables and numerous lounge areas. If you like Scandinavian design, you will love this place. I practically had to tear myself away from the hotel to see the sights of Granada, as I was so happy just lounging by the pool or in one of the swing chairs. The staff were also quite friendly. We arrived very early in the morning after a long drive, before our room was ready. They told us to relax in the common area, and we fell asleep in the hammocks. When we woke up, they brought us cafe con leche and fresh squeezed orange juice. The hotel is also very centrally located--an easy walk to the lakeshore, the central plaza, and many good restaurants and cafes. The block on which it is located is a little downtrodden but seemed pretty safe and, again, conveniently located. I would return to Granada just for this hotel.

Los Patios is a very nice guest house in Granada. We booked the balcony suite and the room is very spacious - and the bathroom is huge. It also has more close space than our room at home. The inside of the property around the pool is beautiful. The people working there - although some have limited English -are very nice and helpful. The breakfast they provide each morning was great. The only downside could be the location. It is about six blocks to the main plaza where all the restaurants, bars, tours, etc are located. And it seems like walking around after 10 is discouraged so you need to take a taxi back. Otherwise - it was a great place.

Our experience was amazing. Breakfast every morning was great. Staff were extremely curteous and helpful. Room was clean and big. Front desk helped book our transportation for us. Very nice decor and ambience. Great location that was close enough to all the action. We would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Our time was too short at Los Patios. It is a small hotel with impeccable service. It was clean, relaxing, and the service was truly top-notch. Our breakfast was delicious, the coffee was great, and I wish we'd had time for massages. We were able to keep our car in the garage, so it was safe overnight. I really can't say enough good things about Los Patios. I want to go back to Nicaragua just for this hotel. I'm thinking a girl trip to pamper ourselves.

We had the balcony suite for an extra $40/night and well worth it. It has the largest bathroom I have ever seen! Great indoor/outdoor lap pool and excellent full breakfast. My only minor complaint is the water was only luke warm.
