This is a very pleasant quiet hotel in the old part of Granada, four and a half blocks west of the Parque Central. There are only eight rooms, four with kitchens ($25 a night) and four without ($11 a night) so it may be a good idea to make a reservation. There are discount rates if you stay for a... More

I planned to stay in Granada for only three days, but got stuck there for 10. One of the reasons was this hostel. Located near the parque central. The area is safe - even after sunset. Everything was basically new. Rooms have ceiling fan, private bathroom, everything was very clean - there're also rooms with kitchen. They have a wonderful... More

We booked three days and easily could have stayed longer. It felt like we were staying with great friends. Our room was spotless with a large private bath. Lots of outdoor garden area for relaxing and visiting with other travelers. Arnold and Donnaly were very helpful and full of information. If you want breakfast, they will make it for you... More

I stayed here for 2 weeks while attending spanish school. The apartments are huge and come with a full kitchen and big bathroom. The hotel is on a quiet street that seems safe. The Owner, Arnold was very helpful with any questions i had.I don't think you can get a better place for the price. I would definitely stay here... More

This was my third visit to Hotel El Carmen in a little over a year and I can't help but feeling a sense of traveling to see old friends each time I return. Arnold and Donnaly are such wonderful hosts (and quite a lovely couple :) ). They always have a smile waiting when you return home and make the... More

We booked a week at Hotel Carmen in a studio style apartment/room (El Mombacho Room). What an ideal way to stay here in Granada! My husband and I are travelling with our little one-year old wild man and having ample room, clean accommodations and a safe area (no exposed wires, outlets high on the walls, solid construction, safe guard rails,...

Hotel El Carmen is the best value in all of Granada. The owners, Arnold and Donna Lee are positively delightful! They showed us around town, hired drivers when we needed them, and were very attentive. We were in Nicaragua for four weeks, and if we weren't in Granada....we were missing it! This is an incredible value! The AC worked great,... More

Just got back from a 4 day trip to Granada and we stayed at the Hotel El Carmen. It was an amazing value and the rooms were incredible. We stayed in the large suite and it had a fully stocked kitchen so we could cook some of our meals in our room which made it feel like home. The owners... More

I can not say enough about how wonderful my three week stay was at Hotel El Carmen. I have been to Granada four times in the last year and by far this was the best accommodation I have had. Not only are the apartments and rooms completely new, they are spacious, super tastefully decorated and have everything that you need... More
