It was an very pleasant stay at Hotel El Maltese. The location of the hotel was superb. Near the lake and close to the town. Couldn't be better.And the staff and the owner are the most nice people you can meet. And Granada is the most friendly and safe place you can stay.

We stayed a week at this quaint hotel. The location was beautiful with a view of the lake. It was convenient to access the lake and walk to central Granada. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. For a small hotel in a developing nation, this hotel delivers all the necessities. We had a great experience with the staff and the area.

Overall Excellent

The location is excellent, staff was really good - the only reason to deduct a star is the mosquito-infested room. The whole time I was in the room, I was swatting one mosquito after another.

I am very lenient, and flexible; however we did not get our room cleaned for our stay there, this includes the breakfast that is “included” cost money in the stay there. If visiting Granada it is better to stay near el Parque for more modern experience and not a bad hotel to stay.

L'hôtel est situé au bord du lac avec une très belle vue sur la rue passante. Mais l'hotel gagnerait a etre mieux entretenu. La devanture est quelconque avec des mauvaises herbes. Les chambres sont petites avec un vieil armoire qui ne sert a rien. Il n'y a pas de chaises. Et l'hotel est situé a environ 1 km du centre ville ( parc central et la rue de calzada). Ça se fait bien a bien mais une fois la nuit tombée c'est préférable de prendre un taxi. Le restaurant est tout le temps vide et il ne sert que des petits déjeuners. J'ai eu droit au café mais j'ai rien vu d'autres. Par contre il y a juste a gauche en sortant de l'hotel des restaurants typiques du Nicaragua qui sont vraiment bons et bien. Il y a aussi la nourriture de rue et je me suis essayé. Je donnerai une note de 6/10. A améliorer.

Very poor customer servoce on the phone when attempting to get assistance with parking since there was no sign indicating where to park the vehicle. The person kept saying she doesn’t speak English and cannot help me. She would then hang up the phone. Someone from Hotels.com attempted call the hotel on my behalf and she experienced the same thing.
