Hostal Casa San Miguel

Reasonable prices in central Masaya close to central market and 10 minutes to artists market, supermarket, parque central and Managua-Granada shuttle bus terminal. I have used HCSM for 3-4 years. By mid January if I stay there I use A/C rooms. Later into season it's too busy. Would not recommend. It was a peaceful place to stay during pandemic. Still OK BUT it is not a non-smoking hotel. In rooms I haven't smelled smokers. But last night another occupant was smoking outside his room. 5 feet from my window with odor in my bathroom! I have had to ask smokers before to stop. Hotel night staff(to busy staring at his phone) doesn't do anything. I complained to him after I had to tell the smoker to stop. Day staff accept my complaint but... There's a designated smoking area adjacent to dining area! Interior of hostel is open air,nicely designed and roofed over but I avoid the smoke odor their by using the outdoor covered patio(with grass) for breakfast and lunch. The only reason I return. But it is significantly quieter then a similar priced hostel which is next to a super loud discotheque. DM
