The owner Toby is very kind and hospitable, with a nice family. He will help you with advice and directions, and how to move around the community. Highly recommend.

Beautiful home. Helpful owners. Mosquitos.
Posted 8 Feb 2024 on HotelsI want to thank the couple who operate this cute hotel. Especially the lady of the house. She helped me arrange the best priced tours. For one person, it's not easy.
Beautiful house and room. Spacious. Clean. The two ladies who cleaned the house are very nice too.
Good breakfast, not a large portion.
Hot shower, not that you need it.
I stayed in room 5, at the end. outside is a second kitchen. Even though it's not fully functional, the fridge and sink are very handy.
Wifi decent. Not super fast. Maybe because my room is the farthest.
We have access to the main kitchen, but the family uses it, so I don't feel comfortable using the kitchen.
I asked for a knife, a glass, and some plates and a bowl. Used them throughout my stay.
I could use a little table. I hope they'll put a small table inside each room.
A few problems though.
1. no AC, no screen. I got many mosquito bites. The room is very stuffy. In order to get some fresh air into the room, I have to leave the door open, and the bathroom window open. No window in the room. Please put screen door, and also screen outside of the bathroom window.
2. maybe some plugs near the porch area. I was given a plug-in type of mosquito repellent. But no plug if I sit in front of my room. Also this one heats up a tablet, and it's hot.
3. the large heavy blinds are over the door. Unable to draw it down, after I leave the room. When enter or exit the door, you have to draw it up. This makes it almost useless. They are pretty for sure

Had a very nice stay, lovely staff and nice Nicaraguan breakfast. Only downside for us was that the room was quite hot, also during night.

Nice staff, friendly English speaking owner, great breakfast, nice little yard, felt safe the place has a locked gate, only problem is the rooms are hot even with the fan, the only window is in the bathroom and there are no screens so you cannot open the windows and keep the l7ght on.

There is no AC and the room was really hot if we closed the door and used only the fan so we (and most guests) kept our doors open. It’s a secure property so this was possible but also not great from a privacy perspective. Additionally, there were a lot of mosquitos so leaving the doors open wasn’t ideal. We (and other guests) got lots of mosquito bites.
If they can take care of the hot rooms and/or the mosquitos, it’ll be a nice place. It’s super cute, our room and bathroom were spacious and clean, staff are nice, breakfast was included and decent.

Gabby greeted us when we arrived and made us feel welcome right from the start.
The room is super clean and bright with plenty of space.
The sheets and towels are of good quality and the room is cleaned daily.
Breakfast is very good and includes a nice fruit cup and coffee.
The location is perfect, close enough from the center but far enough from the noise. It is literally a 2 minute walk to the city center. There are lots of shops and restaurants nearby.
The common areas are really nice and airy.
Gabby and Toby( the owners) are super helpful and so easy to talk to.
We enjoyed visiting with them every day and watching tv and Netflix’s in the common area in the evenings.
We were able to use the kitchen when ever we wanted.
On my birthday they surprised me with a bottle of wine, it really made my birthday extra special.
The garden area is so pretty, and the french doors are lovely. There are hammocks and places to sit and enjoy the garden.
There is hot water for the shower.
Gabby and Toby are constantly making changes and improvements to their place which is really wonderful already but it just keeps getting better and better.
They have recently added hair driers, full length mirrors and safes to each room.
We spent 11 days here and loved it!
We very highly recommend staying here !

Posted 9 Mar 2018Happily used il Padrino as a base for excursions throughout Nicaragua. Wonderful family, perfect stay. Excellent location, quiet but very close to downtown. Toby is a great tour guide and they helped us with our transportation plans throughout the country. Extremely friendly ambiance. Good value and highly recommended.
