Mi Casa has a nice garden area dominated by chattering birds. The three-bed dorm
rooms have private bathrooms, making this a step up for the shared-room set.

One of your best bets in Masaya is simple and a bit
smokey. But there are nice firm mattresses and friendly service - ask for a room upstairs.
There's an annex across the street with dorm rooms sleeping four that can get a bit
cramped with just a fan to keep you cool.

An odd location, stuck out in the mostly residential heart of Monimbó, south of
town, but the rooms are surprisingly good: spacious and spotless, facing a trim little
garden.
