We stayed at Hotel Terrasol for three nights in May. We found this hotel via Trip Advisor and having seen the great reviews it got we booked it. The reviews were spot on - this hotel is excellent! The owners, Victor and Katya, are the perfect hosts and couldn't do enough for us. They made us feel like one of their family. They gave us lots of ideas of where to visit, most of which weren't even in our guide books!! Everywhere they recommended we visited were brilliant! They gave us directions to each of these places and marked maps for us to make sure we found our way. Their knowledge of the area is excellent! Make sure you ask for their recommendations for day trips and restaurants.
Their hotel is lovely! It's spotlessly clean and really comfortable. We had the choice of rooms when we arrived. We took the room overlooking the street which had a great view of Volcan Mombacho. Air con is a must in Granada as it's sweltering hot. The air con in Terrasol was perfect! The rooms were spotlessly clean, beds very comfortable, there was cable TV, a safe, shower (with hot water) with toiletries and a hairdryer.
We didn't eat at the restaurant in the hotel but had breakfast daily which was continental style (all home made, even the jam!) and delicious! You can take drinks in the restaurant and a cold cerveza after a day of sightseeing was heaven!
There is free internet access in the hotel, the computer is for use in the reception. There are also small gifts for sale at reception such as coffee, magnets, pottery etc.
The location is superb, almost right in the centre of Granada but just a street or so away from any noise - we had a great night's sleep. If you're a light sleeper you may want to take a room at the rear of the hotel as they are early risers in Granada so traffic etc starts early on in the morning. Parking can be arranged via the hotel for a dollar or so a night and they use a secure garage just around the corner (walking distance). I would recommend this.
We have stayed in a lot of hotels all around the world from back packer style hostels to five star luxury but we can honestly say this hotel is where we received the BEST service! I would not hesistate in recomending this hotel and I will definitely be staying here again when I return to Granada.
If you're reading these reviews, just book it! You won't regret it. As soon as this hotel gets in the guidebooks I've no doubt it will be constantly fully booked!
We owe Victor and Katya a big thank you for making our stay in Granada so good!

Granada is a fantastic city and Hotel Terrasol is without a doubt the best value hotel to be found!

We stayed for a week in May and couldn't have wished for a nicer place to spend the week. The bedrooms are spotlessly clean and are decorated with local art work, the beds are really comfortable with crisp, clean linen (and extra pillows!) and the bathrooms are fresh and modern with white, fluffy towels. The showers are cool (but not cold) and this is exactly what you need to refresh you after a day exploring the beautiful colonial city of Granada.

A delicious complimentary breakfast is served every morning in the restaurant, with a small bowl of fruit, freshly baked bread with butter and jam, fresh orange juice and very tasty Nicaraguan coffee. Unfortunately the restaurant wasn't open when we were there as it was low season, but the menu looked mouthwatering.

The thing that really puts Hotel Terrasol head and shoulders above the other hotels in Granada are the owners, Victor and Katya. They are the most welcoming hosts and will help you in anyway they can. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to help us with transport arrangements to Costa Rica and gave us loads of great advice on where to visit around Granada.

We loved the Hotel Terrasol so much that we actually returned for a couple of nights after we had visited Isla de Ometepe - and it felt like we were coming home!

What a wonderful experience my girlfiend and I had whilst we stayed at Hotel Terrasol for 3 nights. Owners Victor and Katya are the perfect hosts. The welcome was warm and they were available to offer their advice at anytime during our stay. The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk form the main square. The rooms are wonderful with cable TV (a huge amount of channels to choose from!), and the bathrooms very nice. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have discovered this amazing accomodation with the most wonderful hosts. Overall a great experience and exceptional value. Thank you very much Victor and Katya, we wish you all the success in the world!

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Terrasol for a couple of days on our recent trip and wished we could have stayed longer. The owner of the hotel was very nice and helpful in sharing knowledge about Granada, the surrounding area and Nicaragua in general. The hotel is very clean and the staff was efficient and friendly. It is just a couple of blocks from the main square and the location seemed very safe. They booked a tour to Mombacho Volcano for us that included a nice hike and some great zipling, I highly recommend it.
An incredible value

Best Hotel in Granada at any Price

We've been to Granada twice before and seen/stayed in several hotels. Terrasol is by far the best hotel in Granada, at any price range. The location is VERY close to Parque Central (not sure how some people take ten minutes to get there?) and yet far enough away to not have a lot of night noise like they have right by the center. There are also no roosters nearby (If you've been to Nicaragua you can appreciate this.) to wake you up at 4am!

The rooms were very clean, and the rooms with the balcony were really cool. I would get A/C, as the second floor gets hot. You DEFINITELY DO NOT NEED HOT WATER in Granada for your shower, but it's so hot there even the cold water stream is pretty warm.

The service was friendly, familial, helpful and knowledgeable. It's very sad that the restaurant was closed when we were there. We heard that the chef suffered a heart attack. Just thought that was useful for folks to know, they didn't randomly shut down the restaurant. The breakfast was light, as free breakfast always is, but it was fine. I prefer to fill up on cut-up mango and pineapple bought from the street vendors anyway.

Everything was clean, comfortable bed, and a lot of the little extras that small Nica hotels often lack in this price range, like a bath mat and separate hand towel.

When I saw Terrasol had dropped to #3, I felt compelled to write and share to let everyone know it's the best hotel in Granada hands-down.
