The staff of the hotel were extremely friendly and attentive and the buffet breakfast was pretty good. I had just finished reading "Broken Windows Broken Business" and there were definitely some signs of that here with the Physical plant. The wallpaper in my room (a bit matronly, but not unexpected) was peeling as it was in the halls. The hot water in my room didn't work when I first got there and so I didn't realize I left it on when I departed - there was water all over the place when I got back! They were very quick to clean it up, though, and I didn't have any problems afterward. The workout room had all new equipment and was nice in appearance but the A/C was busted - and it was 100 degrees out with 100% humidity! With the windows open, a parade of ants entered which was a tad disconcerning, but not shocking. I was able to overlook those issues, but they should probably do something about the facilities to spruce them up a bit. I have to admit I was a little disappointed since it was rated #1 here - probably should have splurged a little bit for the Intercontinental down the street!

stayed for 6 nights excellence service clean room, good breakfast, friendly staff i recommend this hotel...we enjoyed it.

The staff at the hotel are extremely helpful and considerate. The location is very good, with easy access to multiple good restaurants for dinner, and bars and entertainment.

After having stayed many, many times at the beloved Managua Intercon, I must confess that the Princess brings a new level of class and sophistication to the ugly 3rd world sprawl of Managua.

The shuttle service from the airport was courteous and efficient. Check in took no time at all. The lobby is very nice, the rooms are classy, clean and new with a thundering waterfall for a shower.

For food, I did not try the hotel itself but rather Pollo Campero, across the street. This fast food franchise is crazy-popular in Central america. By U.S. Standards it's OK, but for Central America you are talking fine dining. TGI Fridays is also a 3 block walk away, although the area outside did not appear particularly safe- watch for holes in the sidewalk!!.

I must note that I saw quite a few prostitutes (including transvestites) congregating on the main drag outside after nightfall- but the hotel apparently is pretty tight about its no female "guets" policy

The thing I think I liked the most was that the Princess was a relatively small and intimate hotel with very pleasant and intelligent staff. I shall return.
