This was a fabulous place to stay in Leon; very close to multiple restaurants and the main square. It is quite safe walking around at night. We had a small room next to the pool which was mostly very quiet. Lovely garden area for breakfast or evening drinks The staff were very friendly and helpful. In particular, I highly recommend Milton at the front desk, who went out of his way to help us find a private car service to our next stop in El Salvador, as our extensive Internet searches were fruitless. (See below) We really appreciate the efforts that Milton made to help us. Claudio, from ‘Transport & Shuttles Nicas’, can be found on FaceBook, and he was far better and far cheaper than other corporate car services we found and he drove us in a brand new very comfortable air con car all the way through Nicaragua across Honduras and crossed two borders to get us safely and easily into El Salvador

Breakfast was included but confusing as it was supposed to to just be the local version but kept changing

Beautiful hotel in old style that had been embassy of the US long time ago. Very stylish in almost every detail, centrally located, and quite. Very friendly personnel, in particular the waiters for the breakfast, who gave us background information. Good breakfast in beautiful patio. Spacious room with high ceiling, excellent bathroom and beds (see below for rooms without windows). Convenient parking in the courtyard of another house just across the street.

Please note that many (probably even most) rooms do not have windows. We were able to change to another one with a very large window to the patio. On check-in, it was very strange that we had to pay not only for the two nights we haed booked in advance, but also for a third night (check-in fee) which was later returned

I LOVED this hotel. This was my last night in Nicaragua and such a great decision to stay at this hotel. Highly recommend. Gorgeous hotel. Staff is lovely, attentive, and kind. Upon arriving Francisco, at the front desk, helped me fix my booking (which I made for the wrong day) and he also helped me get my taxi upon leaving (so I wasn't overcharged as a tourist) and then just enjoyed the gorgeous facilities which I needed after a long week of travel. I enjoyed the cocktails and conversation in the bar with Jose in bar and reading in the patio and the pool and the breakfast in the morning. HIGHLY recommend this lovely hotel. There is security at night in front and felt super safe and cared for as a single female solo traveler.

Nothing. This hotel is a gem in Leon.

La Perla is a beautiful hotel right in the heart of Leon. The staff were so warm and welcoming when we arrived. Special shout out to the lovely Isaac who was really attentive and kind during our stay. The hotel is in a perfect location to explore Leon. It's only minutes away from the heart of the town. When you return back to the hotel it feels like a little oasis of peace and calm. The pool is fabulous, if a tad chilly! But the hospitality of the staff was fantastic. We felt very well taken care of. Also a shout out to the lovely Jose who is one of the drivers the hotel uses should guests need someone to drive them either to/from the airport or beyond that. He was so kind and helpful during our stay and very happy to chat with us about local history along the way. He was completely fantastic!

The food was rather bland and sometimes slightly overcooked/burnt. This is really the only negative I would say about this hotel and it certainly shouldn't put anyone off staying. There are plenty of places to eat in Leon which are extremely reasonable. I just think the kitchen staff might need to get to grips a little more with breakfasts other than a traditional Nicaraguan one. There is a French and American breakfast on offer (for a small additional fee), which was OK but needed a little work.

The property is so beautiful and the room was very cute and comfortable, with everything we would need. The staff, especially Isaacs and Miguel were just wonderful, they made us feel so welcome and were helpful with us trying to practice our Spanish! The breakfast was great and served in a gorgeous courtyard. We enjoyed time playing pool in the bar and having a dip in the pool. The location was ideal we could walk everywhere in town easily and felt safe.

There was really nothing not to like, but I did think it would have been nice to get an information pack with a city map, food menu and times, local info etc. I know you can use Google, but I just would have found it useful.

The entire staff at Hotel La Perla was incredibly hospitable. Armando in particular, always greeted us and went above and beyond to make sure we had a drink and a positive experience, we also saw him make special centerpieces for a group celebrating at the restaurant. The breakfast was delicious, and both the servers and front desk team were incredibly attentive. The property is beautiful and perfectly located, within walking distance of everything.

Our room was comfortable, but it was lacking a window. It seemed to be the only room that didn't have a window so this may be unusual, but did surprise us.

The Perla really is the pearl of Leon: amazing location with on-site parking across the street. We were welcomed very warmly by the porter Isaac, who told us all about León and he carried the luggage to the room. The room was excellent, with AC, clean and there was even a bath. We enjoyed the excellent complementary Nica breakfast with fresh pour-over coffee. We decided to come back for lunch and we could store our luggage and car. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Nothing - my stay was perfect.

My husband and I were impressed with this beautiful and very clean hotel. It has updated rooms and a beautiful courtyard. The pool was very nice. The room had a new and comfortable bed and a very nice bathroom. The air conditioner worked great and they had hot water. The staff were exceptional. They were ready to help or answer any questions we had. Elsie at the front desk, and Isaac and Miguelito were the staff we had the most contact with, and they made our stay memorable. The breakfast was delicious, served with french pressed coffee. I already miss sitting around the courtyard, enjoying their watermelon drink. When we return to Leon, we will definitely stay at La Perla again.

I liked everything

Lovely colonial hotel, the former US embassy I believe, right in the centre of Leon. We enjoyed breakfast in the delightful shady courtyard and the staff were great, really helpful. Our bedroom had French doors onto the gorgeous balcony which we very much enjoyed sitting out in every evening in the rocking chairs (be careful which room you book, not all have French doors or windows ). The bed was very comfy.

It’s almost perfect but we felt the whole place could use some investment. A fresh coat of paint, some water in the fountains and one other tip, the chairs at the front by the road were tipped up making it look like the hotel is closed, putting them the right way would make the property look far more inviting. The pool area was not that nice, we didn’t use it.

A beautiful properly in the heart of the city! The staff provided an amazing service, the best hosptial we’ve had in Central America! The rooms are slightly out dated but very clean and comfortable with very large beds. Fantastic hot water showers! Breakfast is lovely and the service for this is amazing

The pool area was not really usable at the time, this may have been as it was in low season
