I think I can sum this up as the worst hotel I have ever stayed in (and I have stayed at some pretty bad places.) I decided to take a trip to Ometepe last minute and was worried about where to stay my second night before I got the ferry the next morning. On my way to Ometepe, I wasn't... More

Just a few hundred feet from the dock, this is a convenient place and an okay hotel. The room was $20 ($30 with ac). It was clean, but don't expect hot water, which is pretty much the case all over Ometepe. Breakfast was good and included in the price. Didn't eat dinner here, so can't comment on the restaurant.

The best thing about hotel Ometepetl is the location. It is only about 200 meters from the ferry dock. I stayed here with my friends for three nights. I’m sorry to say that my private room was one of the worse rooms I’ve ever stayed in. The biggest problem was humidity in the room. First I thought that it was... More

The Ometepetl is right up the street from the ferry dock, best location if you get an early morning ferry to the mainland. We arrived on a rainy Sunday and decided to stay here as it was close to the ferry and a decent value at $15/night (fan and bathroom) and the rooms of decent size and clean. The beds... More

After one night, I moved to another hotel with a much cleaner room and bathroom, with more amenities, and much nicer staff. - Pool is scam. It was completely empty when I arrived. Other locals told me that the pool has not been filled for several years. - Surly staff. - Dirty rooms with broken down bathroom and nasty looking... More

If only they would scrub the floors and put some effort into cleaning it properly, it would be acceptable. Before I stayed here, I read the reviews and they weren't great but I saw one or two that were satisfied. I booked 2 nights here but ended up only stayed 1 night. I was disappointed how dirty it was for... More

Didn't plan on staying in Moyogalpa. Original plans were to stay out at Playa Santo Domingo, however after running into distant relatives who live near town, staying in Moyogalpa seemed to be the 'better' choice. Good points; the AC worked pretty well, and the bedding was crisp and clean. The food at the restaurant was a bargain. The help were... More

Don't stay there our room was shabby, the walls were mouldy and you could smell the mould, the wash basin was filthy black, the toilet pan had not been cleaned for weeks, there were also bare live wires in the shower area. Food was pretty good though and the waiting staff were great

I was surprised to see such negative reviews on this place. The rooms were basic but clean and functioning (although the TV didn't work). We didn't look elsewhere but recommended it to some travellers on the street who ended up staying and saying that it was a far better option than other hostals they had viewed in the area. We...

We chose this hotel based on its proximity to the ferry terminal, as we had to get an early morning boat the next day. It is, indeed, spitting distance, but that is this place's only redeeming quality. We have drawn the conclusion that the owners gave up on the hotel years ago as our room was very dilapidated and the... More
