Art Hotel Managua Nicaragua

The only complaint I have is that the pool was being worked on and it wasn't disclosed on the site. We specifically Reserve 2 nights so the children could swim. We have stayed there in the past that is why we made reservations again but nobody disclosed anything about the pool, And that was the main reason why we chose the place... We ended up leaving without staying at and want to a different hotel, Now we have to try to get our money back from Expedia and their customer service is very hard to get in contact with.

It's very family friendly place: a small swimming pool, small gym stacked on top of half the swimming pool, 2 active monkeys & a very talkative parrot bird, kids love them! Front desk staffs were very helpful w/ our requests: hot water in shower wasn't working; how to get to waterfront; where to get lunch...they solved them all. Breakfast was adequate, enough choice and good enough in portion. But location was not ideal: cost at least $5 - $8 for taxi to get to water front, then another amt to get back, taxi drivers can get very greedy asking 260 Cordoba to get back to the hotel. We were able to get a taxi for 100 but he couldn't find it ; If you choose to walk, you have to walk thru long, trashy streets & seemingly vacant park/lots to the main boulevard, walk thru seemingly not so safe neighborhood. No direct buses, you have to use several transfers to the water front where central government buildings & water front park are. We couldn't find good restaurants near the hotel. Their kitchen only serves breakfast like foods. Our room was near swimming pool. So it was noisy even at 10 pm when people came to swimming & having a good time. In the morning when we tried to sleep in a bid, the kids from other guest rooms were having their fun time at the pool. We have a puddle in front of our door from swimming pool. Lastly, the bathroom/sewer drain smells awful all night, there's no fan venting out, so we had to keep bathroom door closed. Hold our breath when we needed to use it.
