    Our room was a bit small, and the shower room (a wet room) was very cramped and quite damp. It definitely needs some maintenance. The room had both air conditioning and a fan. The AC could be set to run all night and wasn’t too noisy, which was a plus. Breakfast was basic but freshly prepared. The shared kitchen was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped if you want to cook your own meals. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The pool was great for a refreshing dip after a hot day exploring. León feels much hotter than other Nicaraguan towns we visited, so the pool was a real bonus. The hostel is just a few blocks from the main area of town, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. I would happily stay here again — hopefully next time the shower room will have been improved.

    Wabi Sabi is a great hostel with clean rooms, a fully stocked kitchen and lovely pool. Even has a perfect spot where you can work with good WiFi. The owner is amazing and looks after her guests. I was very happy staying here.

    The bathroom set up is a little bit awkward, with the toilet outside the room and two showers next to it. Each was its own separate space which made them feel a little small.

    No one else was in the hostel the night I stayed so I got upgraded from the dorm to a private room. Only time this has ever happened to me and I really appreciated it from staff, who were also incredibly kind :) Ac in rooms was really nice. Rooms in generally were exceptionally clean, as were facilities.

    It's a bit far from the centre of town, about a 10-15 min walk.

    The owner is so sweet and super helpful, everything is clean and the rooms are comfortable and have ac! The kitchen is the best kitchen I've ever have in a hostel. The breakfast in the morning is also great.

    Friendly staff and nice breakfast. It was great to have a pool although it’s a lot smaller than the pictures.

    Cute and quiet place with a pool

    • Double Room with Private External Bathroom
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The cutest little hostel in the centre of Leon, but on a quiet street only 5 mins on foot from the cathedral. And finally, after a month in Nica, I had AC in my room. It was spacious with enough room for my stuff and although I had an external bathroom & shower, it was never crowded or occupied by other guests. The internet is good and I was able to work without any issues. The staff is great and helpful. There was a problem with the door knob in my room so Jessica, the owner, took care of that instantly. I left the room unlocked and went out and nothing was touched - it's that safe. They offer the traditional Nica breakfast which I loved and a different fruit juice every day. During the scorching afternoon heat you can enjoy the pool with a cold beer in your hand. The city bus (little white buses) stops at the corner of the street and it takes you to Mercadito Sutiava from where you catch the chicken bus to Las Penitas - perfect afternoon getaway.

    That we couldn't stay longer!

    We loved the location near the city centre but quiet. The comfortable room wit A/C, and the most comfortable bed we have had here in Nicaragua. Also, nice pool to cool off. The service was great, and the employees did everything they could to accommodate any requests. Carmen, we miss you already 😘.
