La Pyramide is not just the best hotel in Managua, but is competing for the title of the best hotel in the world. It is all in the service. The hospitality of the owner Manfred (and his staff) is second to none. From the arranged airport pickup to our delayed flight (they checked the ETA with the airport first), to the drive back to the hotel (soundtrack by Bach), to arranging local currency (when we were too late for an ATM), and driving us to a wonderful local restaurant (as we arrived too late for their own). As we repeatedly said over our (incredibly good) meal, we don´t know how lucky we are.

The experience was all the more special due to the, lets face it, unfriendly and uninspiring reviews of Managua. La Pyramide is an oasis in what feels (to the outsider) like a chaotic city. Given the paucity of our Spanish, Manfred and his team made our introduction to Managua hassle free, dealing with our airline and the airport staff to track down our lost baggage, and taking us back to the airport so we could negotiate with an official to pick it up on a Sunday (otherwise closed). You don´t find this kind of service everywhere, Manfred feels more like an old friend than a hotelier.

It isn´t flashy, so don´t expect some large scale doorman assisted resort. It is a boutique hotel, with a pyramid shape, and rooms named after Egyptian gods (some may say a little quirky, i wouldn´t argue with that). What is important is that it is impeccably clean, with good sized rooms, and a comfortable bed. Meals are tasty (breakfast included), and all for less than the price of a rundown hotel in the US or Caribbean.

I´m looking forward to staying there again, on our way back through.

We arrived late and were collected at the airport by a terrific driver sent by the hotel. This was very helpful.

The hotel itself is not fancy; the rooms are simple but spacious and have everything you need but it feels a bit spare. Don't stay here if you like luxury; stay here if you like a place that is a bit off- beat, comfortable, reasonably priced and very welcoming. The hotel is shaped like a pyramid. It is well located if you have a car (which we got the next day since we arrived so late). It felt quite secure since there is someone on duty there at all times, including a guard at night.

Manfred, the owner was very helpful with everything and even allowed us to return at the end of our trip just to hang out for a few hours before we went back to the airport. Cannot say enough about how wonderful he is! Thank you again.

If/when we return to Nicaragua we will definitely stay there again.

We stayed one night and found everything that was reported about this great little hotel is correct. Manfred, the owner, was so very helpful as he not only picked us up from the airport, but as my luggage was lost, he managed to stay on top of its location and retrieve it for us! We would recommend this hotel without hesitation.

I stayed at La Pyramide 5 times in the last 4 months, and I can say it was a wonderful stay. Manfred and Sandra me us feel like at home. He is a great host, always suggesting new places to meet.
In a city with limited hotels, La Pyramide is a great place to stay.

I stayed at La Pyramide from April 26-29, 2008. Manfred (owner) came to pick me up at the airport. Wonderful guy. He had to wait for a long time as my luggage did not arrive. No sweat. He was cheerful and friendly. At the hotel, I loved my room with marble floor and clean bathroom. The food at the resturant was excellent. My only grief is that this hotel is a little off the main road. I like to walk around and always got lost coming back to the hotel.
I loved the hotel and the management. I took a day trip for sightseeing but spent most of my time at the hotel, relaxing in the courtyard with coffee and my book. I would definitely go back to stay there. Thanks Manfred for a nice stay in Managua.
