Just a few hundred feet from the dock, this is a convenient place and an okay hotel. The room was $20 ($30 with ac). It was clean, but don't expect hot water, which is pretty much the case all over Ometepe. Breakfast was good and included in the price. Didn't eat dinner here, so can't comment on the restaurant.

The best thing about hotel Ometepetl is the location. It is only about 200 meters from the ferry dock.
I stayed here with my friends for three nights. I’m sorry to say that my private room was one of the worse rooms I’ve ever stayed in. The biggest problem was humidity in the room. First I thought that it was because of the room not being occupied and closed for a long time, the humid environment outside and the fact that it rained a lot lately. But this is obviously a long term problem. There was actually mold in one corner on the wall. It was very musty. It strikes you as you enter the room. The rooms are dated but for this price ($15.00 single occupancy) you can expect that. There was a decent queen size bed with OK linen, small cabinet and TV with no channels. The walls had dark old paint and the light was dim. Window and door opened onto a common courtyard. The private bathroom was very basic, dated and grimy. There were many ants in the room.
Some of my friends stayed in a dorm. The dorm was in significantly better condition than the private rooms. I suspect that some rooms in this hotel may be better than others, so seeing few rooms before checking in is a good idea. This hotel has potential but unfortunately, I cannot recommend staying in it if all the private rooms are in the same condition as the two rooms I have seen.
The management or owner and other staff we met were nice and hospitable.

The Ometepetl is right up the street from the ferry dock, best location if you get an early morning ferry to the mainland. We arrived on a rainy Sunday and decided to stay here as it was close to the ferry and a decent value at $15/night (fan and bathroom) and the rooms of decent size and clean.
The beds are good and firm, the walls seemed newly painted and had large flower patterns (a matter of personal taste). The small TV has only an over-the-air antenna, which basically meant one channel with poor picture quality.

Reading other travelers reviews of this place we figure that Ometepetl must have recently been renovated. Our room was perfectly clean! Only the bathroom could use a makeover and the shower curtain a good wash or replacement. Maybe it's worth to ask seeing a number of rooms before choosing this hotel?

The pool was completely empty and looked like it's been a long time since it was last in use. But to be fair, the pool was not mentioned or advertised to us when we looked at the hotel. Anyway at $15 a night we did not expect to have a pool.

The owner is very friendly and had a lot of advice about our onward journey to Leon. He also speaks good English but was patient enough to listen to our broken Spanish and respond in slow and easy to understand Spanish.

Food at their restaurant was outstanding. The Chuleta (pork chop) was one of the best we had in Central America.

We would certainly stay and eat at the Ometepetl again.

After one night, I moved to another hotel with a much cleaner room and bathroom, with more amenities, and much nicer staff.

- Pool is scam. It was completely empty when I arrived. Other locals told me that the pool has not been filled for several years.
- Surly staff.
- Dirty rooms with broken down bathroom and nasty looking beds.
- Had to leave because I woke up with lots of bug bites.
