“Family run, affordable and well equipped.”

Run by a lovely family who were so helpful with everything, including storing our large bags while we went to Somoto and Miraflor. The kitchen was great and fully equipped and the room was nice.

“A charming hotel belonging to a charming owner”

- located only a short stroll into the main area of the town - the host treated us with care and adequate friendliness - the room was of size befitting a pair of regular sized adults - the kitchen was fitted to decent spec

one of my favourite places. feels almost like home. also a good location for starting your daytrips to other places around the area since the bus stations are not far

Wonderfull place, has everything just outside the busy area

Simple but clean accommodation

“Great”

Very Nice place

Mariella is super friendly! Location is close to the busstation and price is fair.

“Okay nothing special”

Good location between the bus stops and the owner was friendly and it felt secure.

Room and bathroom were fine. Kitchen simple but sufficient.

Hostal Mariela is a cozy family run hostel, located close to Cortan Norte bus station in Esteli. Cotran Sur is a walkable distance too; or a super quick and cheap shared taxi ride away. The location worked perfect for me, as I planned to take buses to nearby locations such as Miraflor, Estanzuela etc. It is close to supermarket and local shops, so you can buy fresh produce for your meals. The rooms are clean and comfortable; kitchen is clean and well equipped. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Super convenient.

Such a lovely stay. We just stopped overnight on our way to Miraflor. Was in the middle of both bus stations so perfect for us. The room and kitchen were immaculate. Host was super helpful and lovely. We had everything we needed. A great stay. Thanks

“Great hostel facilities clean an priced right!”

Very comfortable an clean hostel great price.

“Cute little place in market area.”

The price was excellent and the place met all basic needs. It had a nice little table with chair just outside that was great for using computer in the mornings.

The owner was suuuper nice! She was so accommodating and friendly. Even though I speak only a little bit of Spanish, we were able to communicate. The room was clean and surprisingly quiet at night, despite being next to the street. Location was perfect for us, close to the big bus station.

I made a mistake with my Booking dates and still they hosted me when I appeared, even when they were closed. Staff was super nice and they prepared the room for us. was clean and quiet and super near the bus stop where the night bus reaches.

“Nice and quiet hostel”

It’s has everything I needed - quiet room and a good kitchen

“Perfect price quality ratio”

Friendly service. Super clean room and common areas and kitchen. Purified water provided. Fine location, close to bus station. 15 min by foot to the center. Well equipped kitchen and room.

“ok for short stay”

good location, basic room

“Everything is super clean, comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and one of the cleanest”

I cannot recommend this place enough. My partner got sick while we were in there and we had to extend our stay. Although it’s a very annoying thing to happen while travelling, if it happens in a place where you feel safe, comfortable, at home and respected, than it’s all good, and that’s what happened here! The owner was truly looking after us, gave us a special tea to make, etc. She went way beyond what she could have done to make us feel better about the situation! Amazing!

A very nice small family run hostel. The people working there were so nice and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and and the rooms are a very reasonable price. They organised a very good tour to the Somoto canyon for me.
