La Pyramide  

The hotel had shuttle service pickup from the airport, english friendly, offered an interesting hotel and extra services in helping us get started for our trip.

I loved the quirky building. The staff was outstanding. Manfred took care of everything seamlessly. The "cool tub" was refreshing. A fruit plate and coffee at 4:30am before our flight was wonderful. A generous surprise. Their tour guide was great, picking us up at the airport and taking us on a city tour with shopping.I really liked this place.

Dinner wasn't so hot, but I thought we were the only folks on site so asked the cook what was available that was easy for her to make. Later people came in and ordered freely off the menu. Maybe we should have done that.

Manfred the owner went above and beyond to be accommodating and helpful

There is little to do in the neighbourhood, definitely not on walking distance, but I'm sure Manfred could organise a taxi to take you to some sights

the service was impeccable, and the owner, Manfred, was a delight. Always available to answer any questions and truly interested in the well-being of his guests. This was an extremely positive experience, and an incredible value.

Liked everything.

The staff is amazing. They always do the impossible to please the guests. The decoration is unique and very trendy.

Nothing to complain about at all.

The owner, Manfred, is such a helpful and knowledgeable man. He was quick to give us a ride in his own car and tell us all about Managua in perfect English. He was very charming. The rooms are nice and clean and had everything you may need. The minifridge was a nice touch too.

The location is central but not great for walking to many places. The neighborhood is very nice though.

The host of La Pyramide, Manfred, is the most gracious, friendly and helpful person I have met in a very long time. I cannot say enough good things about how wonderful he made our trip. Managua can be an overwhelming place and Manfred made La Pyramide feel like home on the 3 nights we stayed there over a 9 day trip through Nicaragua. I will never stay anywhere else when in Managua. You could offer me a free room at the InterContinental and I would rather pay to stay at La Pyramide. That's how wonderful an environment Manfred and Sandra have created for their guests. Truly special and not to be missed.

Excellent. Manfred stayed up for our late arrival and even prepared. A fruit plate and fresh juice for us. An excellent host and very helpful in starting a Nica journey. Can't be more grateful. His staff was just like all the people we met there. So grateful and pleasant. We can all learn so much from them.

Room was big and roomey.Very quiet residential setting. Unique building designs Great staff and great meals on site. Manfred (owner) was a super host and went out of his way for us. He even prepared us a special German meal that was delicious! And When we checked out he gave us a ride to the bus station. Five star treatment!!!!

Good value for your money, friendly staff! Great location close to the city center of Managua with many Bars and restaurants, shopping mall and cinema. The owner Manfred is very nice, helpful and professional and supports his guests with city map and travel information. Food in the hotel restaurant is great and not expensive.

The owner - manager was so helpful. The room was comfortable and the hotel decor was charming.

Manfred is a spectacular host. What a gem.

No hot water, but after being in Nica longer i now know that that is the standard.

Owner is helpful and very nice -- he had a taxi waiting for us at the airport, he personally showed us around town a bit, and the included breakfast was delightful. Wonderful atmosphere at La Pyramide.

It is rare that one finds a hotel run by such a dedicated individual, who gives incredible personal attention and assistance and genuine care for each and every one of his visitors. The owner takes great pride in what he does, and it shows in this wonderful hotel. I would highly recommend and will hopefully return one day!

Without a doubt, the service provided by Manfred and his staff is first rate. The property itself is a boutique funky motel. Don't expect luxury, but it's well maintained in a good neighborhood with good restaurants in walking distance. We had a medical emergency in our group and Manfred helped with the hospital arrangements. He goes above and beyond.

They arranged a driver from the airport, perfect. We arrived at the hotel after 9 pm. We were greeted shown to our room and asked what we would like for dinner. Then they cooked up a meal for just the two of us. Delicious! My best word to describe this is Relaxing. After a full day of travel we didn't have to look for anything it was there. Highly recommended. The owner is an expat German speaks great English and If you like to talk, like I do, he is fascinating. Oh yeah the breakfast is superb!

Need to keep more cold beer on hand. Our ride the next am was 4 hours late, as we were meeting others at airport and going to Grenada. They had to raid some mini bars after we killed off all (4) the cold ones in the kitchen.

Loved how they had a driver who took us all over the city. Wonderful food!! Great help from the owner. Cool design of the hotel.

Friendly staff, Manfred has a nice place in the middle of suburbs...nice comfortable beds, large room..stayed up late for us.

A little pricey for room and small meal.

The owner, Manfred Marotzka, was very friendly and helpful. He spoke good English and was able to provide us some history and background on the country. He seemed really interested in making our visit enjoyable. He took the time to drove us to one of the destinations we wanted to visited and to the bus stop on our departure (at no charge). We were also impressed with the quality of the food especially the breakfasts. We would definately recommend La Pyramide to anyone visiting Managua.

The City of Managua is a little limiting in regard to sites to see and things to do. However, the hotel was located in the new downtown and up and coming HippoZone (with a few interesting restaurants). However, the country of Nicaragua is very interesting. We visited Granada and the Corn Islands - both destinations were incredible!

Manfred was a great host. He offered a level of customer service that I did not expect. He went out of his way to make our stay as pleasant as possible and offered to do much more.

Rats in the walls

Managua was an intimidating city, intense traffic, visible poverty, much garbage and pollution. As a first time traveller, I was nervous driving through the city and had no desire to tour around. Luckily Hotel La Pyramide was secure, clean and comfortable. The food was home cooked and delicious. There are many sitting areas and you truly feel like a guest in someone's home! I slept like a baby, and every need was taken care of by the owner and staff!

As I speak and read little Spanish, I would have liked to see the food/beverage menu in English.

The staff and owner are wonderful! The breakfast is included and is really great. They even picked me up from the airport at 2am and took me to the bus stop the next day. The owner really goes above and beyond to make your stay great. I will stay here whenever I am in Managua.

Manfred was extremely helpful, and the staff was very kind. Our room was quite nice, and very clean.The hotel is charming and in a lovely location. We would definitely stay here if we are in Managua again.

The owner/operator was extremely accommodating and friendly. The food was excellent as was the house keeping. Very good value for the hotel.

Nicaragua in general is not accustomed to tourism. One thing is that menu's should be in English also. The staff , though extremely courteous, do not understand the language.

Manfred and his staff where extremely helpful and relaxed about any requests or questions. Manfred assisted me with an issue I had with missing luggage from an airline in Central America. I cannot fault the level of personal service Manfred and his hotel staff offered. La Pyramide is clean and comfortable and not your everyday design of a hotel which adds to the charm of the place. It is located near Zona Roza, about 5 minute walk and only $2 or $3 taxi ride from the cities main attractions.
