My friend and I stayed at el Gran Marquez for a night at the end of our stay in Nicaragua at the reccomodation of a friend. The hotel was clean, bright (great interior courtyard with pool, comfy chairs for lounging and reading) and conveniently located in Managua. Cesar and Patricia were more than accomodating - when we wanted to explore... more

This was the 3rd time I've stayed at El Gran Marquez this year. The owners make me feel very special and attend to all my needs. I know that I am secure in their hotel and have no worries. Their staff is very considerate and attentive, offering refreshment when my friends are meeting with me in the lobby. This is... more

This is a wonderful hotel. Small and on a quiet street it is a great place to relax or to work. The hotel has internet throughout which is very convenient. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the owners and staff go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The hotel is located close to... more

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

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

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
