Wow...what a great boutique hotel. Having stayed in aboout 20 places in the last 2 years this has to simply be one of the very best. Not only good, clean accommodation in a pretty courtyard setting, but the owners simply cannot go out of their way to help you and recommend places to go, and to eat at. Pana y... more

It had been over 25 years since I last came to my home country of Nicaragua. I was faced with many unknowns when I planned my trip; and the only known fact was that I would be arriving in Managua on 01/01/2009!! I had read many reviews for various hotels in Managua on TripAdvisor and so I decided to narrow... more

Managua is not your usual destination when leaving Costa Rica for the obligatory 72 hours to renew your visa and we weren't sure what we'd be running into. It took a while to find the phone number for the Grand Marquez and we were thrilled when the promised taxi met us at the bus depot taking us directly to the... more

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel el Gran Marquez. Patricia and Cesar were terrific hosts and made sure we were well taken care of. They provided tasty breakfasts and offered valuable information about touring Managua. The neighbourhood was nice with restaurants and shopping near by. The rooms were clean, the staff were very polite and friendly, the flowers were... more

We stayed for three nights at the Hotel El Gran Marquez . We were in a group of fifteen weary and tired Canadian travellers. Together, with the owners Patricia and Cesar, we had a wonderful time and felt like family. The rooms were clean and air conditioned. The beds were firm and comfy, ergonimic mattresses. Two of our group left... more

During 2008, I spent four and one-half months at El Gran Marquez in Managua, Nicaragua. It was a great small hotel located on a good, quiet residential street within two to four blocks of most the restaurants and about six block from modern shopping center and movie theater complex. The hotel owners, Cesar and Patricia, are very helpful, making the... more

The very best hotel I've ever stayed. The owners Cesar and Patricia are bilingual and just super people. Their daughter is a great person inside and outside. The entire place is kept spotless. The help really goes out of their way to cater to my every need. The breakfast is fixed exactly to their desire. I've stayed in 5 star... more

My fiancee and I have traveled all over Central and South America numerous times. Our expectations for these countries are not set very high but we enjoy learning about other cultures. But I have to say that for the first time we were astonished to have received great service from a hotel thats not that well known. To start out,... more

We went to Nicaragua for a family wedding. We stayed at el Gran Marquez for a very low price. It is like a country house in the middle of the "city". It's a place for sleep & watch TV. Don't expect a resort for this price. At walking distance you can have breakfast, lunch, dinner & party. The service is... more
