  Not eating again at Maderas bar and lounge

  The food at the Maderas bar and lounge restaurant by the pool is awful: my workers and me ordered appetizers only 1 out of 4 was good, which was ceviche. The other three appetizers they were dry, overly breaded. With Chewy seafood and or really bad choice for sauce to deep the appetizer. The attention at the restaurant was good in fact it was excellent and we could see that they wanted to please our pallet, but they did not cook anything so they could not help us with that other than to offer us something else to eat. The waiters did the best to please our taste really the food quality was awful. The hotel itself is amazing. The staff is really good and attentive. The hotel is clean and spacious but again the food at Maderas bar and lounge restaurant by the pool is awesome. The Japanese restaurant is good at is the only place I’ve eaten a good meal there in another state I have before. I hope that the chef and that restaurant by the pool learn how to cook everything better.

  Sensitive choice in Managua

  The Double Tree Managua is a good choice for business travellers as well as leisure. The hotel is modern and spotless and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Gabriela, the sales executive, as well as to Lourdes and Yorlin, at the restaurant. You made my stay special. Rooms are up to the Double Tree standard with excellent beds! Note that a/c can be loud. The hotel is big and cold and could do with some "coziness". The lobby reminded me of an hospital.

  THE BEST HOTEL IN MANAGUA.

  All around an excellent Hotel. From the moment you pull in the parking lot you see a well kept property , the rooms are super clean and they have the most wounderfull beds . You have all you need to relax or have a meeting in one place since they have 2 restaurants and a bar that all offer very good food.

  Double Tree Double Good

  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It was much nicer than I expected. The man at the front desk, Eddy Vargas, was very friendly and helpful. The room was nice, the bed was comfortable, even the shampoo smelled good. There is an outdoor seating area by the pool with a nice view of the city and lake. Oh, and also the warm chocolate chip cookies were yummy. I would stay here again.

  New hotel, but please be careful

  Pros: The hotel itself is visually appealing and appears to be newly constructed. The front desk staff were courteous and welcoming. Cons: Our disappointment began when we entered our bathroom and the shower had hair and debris, requiring us to clean it thoroughly before use. It wasn't the best way to start our stay, but we probably would have given 4/5 stars if that was the only issue. The most concerning part of our stay occurred during our departure for an early morning flight. Despite asking the hotel for advice on departure time for our 5:45am flight, we were simply advised to leave at 3:30am without any mention of potential safety concerns. As we drove towards the airport, we were surrounded by 3 motorcyclists attempting to rob us for most of the drive. We almost crashed our car trying to get away from them. It was disheartening to learn later from other Nicaraguans that driving at night in Managua carries significant risks, a fact that was not communicated to us by the hotel staff. We would have appreciated a warning about the potential dangers of nighttime travel and would have adjusted our plans accordingly. This avoidable experience left my husband wondering if someone from the hotel was behind the incident. Having traveled to countries like Kenya, India, and Brazil, we've learned that heeding warnings about these areas are easy ways to stay safe. We hope that future guests don't have a similar experience.
