San Juan del Sur Beach

Hotel Central

The manager was very helpful, upgraded us and pointed out some great places to eat. Drinks on the beach at El Timon with live music each night, and don't forget the chicken lady, a block above the mercado, and next door to her, a great fish restaurant for a third the price of the fancy beachfront properties.

Staying at the Irish House was lovely, the beds and bathroom were clean, the room stayed pretty cool, and I felt safe leaving my belongings in the room while we were out and about town. We also received fresh towels and sheets every day.

A few drawbacks from my experience: 
1) Noise
We stayed in a room on the first level, which the door opens directly to the street. This caused for very loud foot and vehicular traffic noise during most of the night, and especially starting around 5am even on a weekend. If you are a light sleeper, I would suggest staying in an upper level room or bringing ear plugs. 
2) Few Amenities 
While there is AC, there isn't a pool, there is no hot water, or any sort of breakfast offerings. This was fine for our trip purposes, but to some this may be important
3) Small breaks
The remote to our small TV was barely functional. We didn't use the TV too much but it was frustrating when we wanted it. Also the AC's fan didn't blow properly which led to uneven cooling of the room. There were a few chips and cracks in the glass table tops which may be bad for toddlers or anyone especially accident prone. 
4) No Blankets
Okay, I am one of those people that NEEDS a blanket at night in addition to a sheet, so this may not affect everyone. I am aware that in many places blankets are not offered. But if you are like me, bring your own. You wont regret it. 

Regardless of all of these minor issues, I still think this place earned 4 stars. The staff was very friendly and helpful with everything. The WIFI worked quickly and consistently. They didn't seem to offer anything to us that was inconsistent with what they had, and we received basically what we understood from the get-go. I do recommend them as they are probably the cleanest place I've stayed in SJDS in this price range.

Nicaragua is wonderful and the Central is Small but also wonderful.

Clean Rooms, Great Price

We had the third floor with air conditioning and balcony.  Very bare bones but was clean. Location was central, not on the beach but near the market. 
 Robert and his wife were extremely kind and helpful. There is a little fridge in the "lobby" we could store some stuff and he had bottled water. 
  No luxury at all, thin towels ,one sheet  per bed, a plastic chair but we had working air conditioning and the balcony was interesting to watch SJDS.  You get a real feel for life there.  This is NIca. 
   

Clean, bare bones but fine

We were going to stay there for one night. The air conditioner in our room did not work and the room was very dirty. There were cockroaches and bedbugs. The management was extremely rude. We decided to leave and stay somewhere clean. We asked for our money back and they refused to give us a refund. Do yourself a favor and find a better hotel.

Terrible hotel

The hotel was way overpriced for what it was. The shower didn’t work it sprayed everywhere, the tv was ancient and 8” wide and the bed barely fit the tiny room. We paid $100 a night for what was essentially a glorified Hostel.
