The is a beautiful setting , The restaurant tables are well set out with white tablecloths. The menu is well written. I chose grilled salmon with a touch of Asian sauce. When the small fillet, a tail cut arrived, it was hot at one end and tepid the other, the plate contained a mound of pounded yuca or quiquisque smothered... More

We stayed one night at this beautiful hotel. It is centrally located and the rooms/decor are perfect. The building is a traditional Spanish colonial, adjacent to a church. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The bedding was comfortable and the rooms sparkling clean. The breakfast was first rate in the morning. Overall, couldn't be happier with my experience and... More

An excellent experience. A staff very willing to work and meet the requirements. Definitely the proximity to the historic center of Leon makes it special. It hosted a corporate event which saw the flexibility and desire to do things the team.

El Convento has a special feeling to it which is obvious as soon as you cross the door. It is very magical. I stayed in the suite which was very spacious and had a huge soft bed. Service was kind and helpful. The patio is beautiful and the pool area very cosy and elegant. Probably the best choice in town.

Our room was large and comfortable but at the back of the hotel facing a parking lot where garbage was picked up so it was quite noisy in the morning. The staff were helpful but a... More

The only hotel to stay in Leon,the beauty of it is in contrast with a very interesting but very busy and severe city. We were there last year with an inefficient and impolite front desk what a difference this year,charming young women and doormen, room ready when we arrived at 1 pm.

I was at El Convento 4 years ago together with my wife celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary, one thing to mention is the size of the rooms, the nice colonial ambience and of course the good service the people there offered us.

The hotel is lovely and has a beautiful courtyard. The coffee served was the best we had in all of Nicaragua! The buffet breakfast in the open courtyard is relaxing and the room is lovely, although it is a bit dark. It seemed to me to be the best hotel we saw in Leon.
