- Samiel (1/5): - Gracias Gracias
- mario (7/5): - L'internet ne vient pas dans la chambre
- Levente (4/5): - Biztonságos környék Privát szoba helyett egy 8 ágyas szobát kaptam, ami nem volt feltétlen baj, mert egyedül voltam. A szoba amiben voltam egy raktár is volt egyben, mivel a takarító folyamatosan bejárt.
A legtöbb helyen megőrzik a táskát egy pár órára, na ez nem az a hely.. tudom, hogy ez egy szívesség, de a reggel 9 órai check out után nem kellemes a cuccokat cipelni egész nap.

- Valle (8/5): Es un lugar muy tranquilo para descansar. - La atención del personal estuvo muy bien. Salir de la habitación para ir al baño.
- Guest (4/5): No me sentí bien recibida - Es un lugar tranquilo La atención por parte de la persona que estaba atendiendo el hostal fue totalmente. Indiferente, nos dejaron solos, nadie recibió la habitación me dijeron dejaras las llaves en la salida y por medio de chat. No había jabón para bañarse, ni sábanas completas eramos dos con camas individuales solo colocaron una sabana y una toalla

- Wer Paredes (1/5): Gestionaron mal mi reserva - No me pude hospedar Tuve el inconveniente de que mi bus llegó tarde a Managua por las restricciones de límites de velocidad, sin embargo, durante todo el trayecto estuve en contacto con el hotel exponiendo mi situación a lo que el responsable estuvo al tanto y me indicó que no había inconveniente que estaba al pendiente de mi llegada.
Arribé al hospedaje y ya no me dejaron ingresar estuve una hora afuera tocando timbres y puertas y nunca contestaron mi teléfono.
- Jaime (8/5): -
- Xavier (1/5): Worst hotel experience in my life - Literally nothing that we liked about this place. We booked this because it was located quite near the tica busstation. Not “Sam travel” but rather “After a long 8-hour journey from San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua, we arrived at the hotel "sam travel", which in our experience could have been better called "scam travel".
When we wanted to check in at 5pm we were told that the private room we had booked through booking.com was no longer available.
When we commented on this, we were rudely told that it was our problem and that they had sent a whatsapp about this one hour before we arrived (while we were travelling in a bus with no internet connection).
Because we were really not served by this after a long journey and they basically showed us the door, we started arguing with them and the “owner” of the hotel was brought in. He also told us in a blunt way that there are no more rooms available, but that we could stay in an 8-person dorm room and even pay $4 extra. When we asked for a discount because of the problem they caused he gave us a $0,50 “discount”(instead of $20,50 it was $20). Because we had almost no other choice and it was getting dark outside, we ended up paying for this, and we were just too tired to continue arguing with them.
When we arrived at our dorm, we saw that there were several "private" rooms empty, which made us quite irritated. Arriving in our dormitory room there was one other guest who was also very irritated by this hotel. She had not received her $10 change back, which had already been promised to her since 2pm. In addition, the beds did not have blankets, towels, no wifi in the room and the toilet did not even work.
The other guest tried to call the owner, who would bring her the change, but when he arrived he acted like he didn’t knew nothing and he did not bring any money.
After this, the guy walked like 2 more times in our room to check on us but he didn’t say anything, what was kind of creepy.
- David Calero (10/5): - Todo genial la ubicación y el personal muy amable No me fije que no tenia cocina
- Andrew (3/5): Poor -
- Mike (1/5): Nightmare in Managua! - This property is owned by a thug. I booked a flight as well as accomadation. They didnt give me a receipt delaying it, in addition there was no confirmation from my airline anything had been booked.
I felt as if i was being scammed. I mentioned this to the acting member of staff and asked if i was being robbed? The owner had thugs waiting for me outside the building on the street and following me. On my way back to the hostel a very large guy waiting for me on my way back. Days of continued intimidation and threatening behaviour.
I would strongly advise anybody thinking of staying here to look elsewhere. The police will do nothing be vigilant! Everything. Not kept clean in the bathroom. An employee sleeps perminently in the same room. Coming back he was asleep and i was waiting 5 minutes plus to gain entry to the hostel after continuously banging on the front door ( he was sleeping) .No key was allowed to be given to customers so gaining entry again after leaving was difficult and all at the convenience of the individual/staff member who was living there. One day he had left the building completely i waited for 10 minutes outside in the hot sun (34c) to gain back entry.
Highly unprofessional with the owner having major issues with power and control.
Stay well away!!
- Lutz (7/5): Good -
- Amy (4/5): Disappointing - Nice fans, comfortable and big beds, free cold drinking water No locks, very dirty bathroom, confusion while checking in, staff didn't know we were coming, no bedsheets
- Veronique (7/5): Good place - Everything was ok
- 笑她爸 (1/5): Bad - none I booked a double room, but when I arrive, I was told no double room available, only 8 bed room left. No AC, no hot water, and even no quilt, only one sheet on the bed.
- Enric (7/5): Good -
- Sophie (1/5): Bad - No one was there to let us in... Didn't stay.
- Guilherme (1/5): Negative experience - The price is cheap. Theres no ring bell and no people available at the reception. I’ve to mock the door for 20 minutes to get in and the street is not safe at night.
They don’t provide blanked even tho the AC is very cold. I couldn’t t sleep well cause I was freezing.
The owner canceled my reservation to avoid the Booking fees (I reported to the customer service).
Don’t recommend!
- Samuel (6/5): Pleasant - Staff was nice. No towel provided. No blanket provided. Floor was dirty, lots of hairs etc. Not many shops nearby. 15 min walk to the nearest mall.
- Raccoon (10/5): Just There Yet -
- Elturcogezgi̇n (1/5): Bad - The hotel sucks. They don't even give blankets. No hot water .air conditioning doesn't work.staff is indifferent The hotel sucks. They don't even give blankets. No hot water .air conditioning doesn't work.staff is indifferent
- Kim (6/5): Pleasant - Big room, comfy bed. Walking distance to main street and Park. The service personal seemed confused and uninformed about our reservation and how things work in general.
We couldn't lock our room but everything kept untouched so all good.
- Kovařík (3/5): The price is low, but id still expect little bit more from the hotel - Close to Central Line bus stop.
Cold water dispenser
Price Hotel has 'travel' in its name, but staff doesnt speak english at all.
Streets did not feel safe
No key for our private room, even though there is a shared dorm for 8+ people right next to it. Luckily it was empty during our stay
No bed covers
Room was just two beds without any covers and a broken AC that was more like a fan.
- Chii (7/5): Good - It's best provide English service
- Jessica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Debendranath (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, very safe 👍
The lady in charge Scarlet was very helpful and kept the place very clean 👌
- Indiana (8/5): Very good -
- Paul (5/5): Passable - When I booked it was the cheapest bed in Managua on booking.com at ~$10usd and it was close to the bus terminal I used. They don't claim to have anything that's not there, which is nothing except a bed and bathroom. If that's all you're looking for then great, if you want a hostel (chair to sit in, kitchen, hot water, air conditioning, common area, etc: this is not your place). The description of the dorm was very misleading, but the photos are accurate. It's 4 bunk beds, and sleeps 8.
Check out is at 9, which is one of the earliest times I've experienced in decades of travel but it's made even earlier by the cleaning staff entering the room at 7:45 (both days of my stay) to sweep, mop, disinfect and change the bedding (or just pat it down if it's not too dirty. I saw this happen to 2 beds during my stay). Also all the linen for the other 2 rooms is in the doom so it's all access all the time, even very late at night to get more blankets.
The hot water (from a dispenser) was broken, so I couldn't even make a tea or coffee (I was thinking Argentinians would literally go crazy without their Mate).
- Huseyin (6/5): Pleasant - Staff were helpful No common area,no kitchen,nothing around, just for sleep
- Mujiburrahman (3/5): Poor -
- Lena (5/5): Passable - walking distance to CentralLine terminal dirty bathroom
no towel
check in unfriendly
no power socket in dorm room, only in bathroom
toilet of other dorm broken - more people just entering our dorm
- John (9/5): healthy environment - the people in the office ,the owner and night staff William were all exceptional and friendly only setback was no kitchen or, fridge
but there are plenty of fans
- Barak (1/5): One big zero..si habia cero en rango habia escrito esto - Location is good
And nothing but nothing else was .
.good
El unico fue ubicacion pero nada absolumante nada mas fue bueno If you had zero in the ranks i would have wrote it.
Disgrace of a place
Don't even think come near this place.
Mal mal lugar
No te acerquen
- Locker (1/5): Bad -
- Nina (3/5): Poor - I had to book spontaneously, that worked. It was insanely hot in the room, they didn’t even gave out blankets. The next morning you have to wait until the staff opens the door to leave the house/ garden.
- Ramírez (6/5): Pleasant -
