I stayed in La Tortuga for about 2 weeks in a private room with private bath. I had a fantastic time, the staff were excellent, the room well equipped , they even upgraded the shower head while I was there, and the general amenities were very good as well. Its also a great spot to meet other travellers, because its... More

Lives up to the hype! I stayed at Tortuga previously and it was my top choice upon returning to Leon for a 12-day research-related trip. The rooms are spotless and the common areas are great for hanging out. Wonderful staff---they have all worked here for a long time, and are ridiculously kind. Sure, you can never predict what kind of... More

We spent the first night in the big upstain room with a/c. Unfortunately it was booked for the second night but we had the dorm room to ourselves and it was comfortable. The private balcony that goes with this room gets hot in a hurry. This Hostel has very slow internet but great free coffee and make it yourself pancakes... More

Great staff, great vibe for travellers and family- warm/homey but also chill, with bob marley, Jimmy cliff and other roots reggae in the common areas, with star fruit and lime trees in a sweet patio. Would go back for sure.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Tortuga Booluda. Olin, the owner and the staff were very pleasant and eager to help. If you are lucky to get the big room upstair with a/c , ( make the reservation in advance), it is really worth it... you won't suffer from the heat and the room is big. Pancakes in the... More

Realy à relaxed and safe atmosphere. The staff was always busy with cleaning. You can take drinks,put them on à list and pay when you check out, trust is THE key word. Yes,THE rooms were very hot,even with the fan on high speed.. But it's Leon the hottest city in Nicaragua! I'll go to la tortuga booluda again when i... More

We were lucky enoughto get the upstairs room with the balcony. Balcony was great for chilling on hammock and doing some yoga. Breakfast of pancakes is included as is tea and coffee. There is a good book swap, computer and good wifi signal. Staff are friendly and helpful. Its a short walk to central square. There is also a kitchen... More

amazing!!, super chill, great vibe, friendly knowledgable staff...full, modern kitchen with free pancake breakfast!! i came for a night and atay 7... a great place to relax and meet new people.

My wife and I literally checked every hostel in the center of Leon and could not find one better (for us). If you want to party hard, maybe try via via, but if you want the mellow vibe with good music, a nice pool table, relaxed common area, and great staff, this is the place. Santos and Olin are always... More
