Recently had the opportunity to visit Ometepe Island...Stayed at the The Hospedaje Central ,What a great environment..wonderful staff, food and lodging...Located centrally to enjoy the island...Recommend to all

I'm here right now - was sitting in the common area of the hostel and two men came in from the restaurant and sat at my table. One asked if my computer was mine, was I traveling alone, is that my room over there, do I have a boyfriend? I was polite at first, answering in Spanish and made it clear I did not want his company. He persisted and would not leave when I asked him to. I went into the bar area and told the staff this guy was a creep. He answered that yeah, he probably is and made no motion to correct the situation.
Bottom line, I'm alone in the dorms with no door, it's midnight and there are two creeps about 12 feet from my bed.
Also the one toilet has been covered in urine and the bathroom floor in a cm of who knows what.
I've traveled from the top of Central America down to here and never have felt so vulnerable. Do not stay here, especially not if you are alone.

For my last night in Ometepe i decided to go from other great hotels and hostels on ometepe to this. It looks nice from the outside, the bar area is very nice. but I arrived mid morning and was immediately attacked by mosquitos. something there must attract them as didnt have this issue anywhere else on the island. Saw the rooms and was dubious but thought i will give it a chance. The manager seemed very nice to begin with then went very strange talking about weird scientific rubbish that i was not at all interested in for about 15minutes without giving me a break. I managed to escape and went to the ´reserve´ in the back which is basically a disgrace, tying up monkeys for no reason. Fair enough the deers are breeding but monkeys looked like there was nothing wrong with them and they should be freed.
The dorm was dingy and damp feeling and the bathroom was an utter mess. the tap water flowed into the shower drain so you could stand remnants of toothpaste etc and there was a strong disgusting smell of urine which choked me. the shower was unpleasant in this environment. Clearly has not been cleaned in a while, oh and there was a tree coming in through the window. Beds were also very unimpressive.
I went back to the bar and tried to check my emails quietly, by the way you pay for WIFI $2 for 24 hours is so annoying when its free in other places. I got stuck listening to the old Indian/(not sure where he really is from)man who had stale beer breath and kept talking at me for about an hour. Luckily someone wanted a beer and i could run away. and thats what i did and as soon as the morning came, i paid and ran. Would never recommend this place.
Yes its cheap but its that cheap because they dont spend anything on the hostal upkeep.

Really, if you get to the island at a reasonable hour, you should head to Charco Verde, fincas near Balgue, or Hacienda Merida. If not, this is a perfect refuge. The old Indian who runs the place seems to speak every language without an accent and he gives excellent information about he island. The bar is good, the food both there and next door is wonderful, and the rooms are good for the price -- this is a pretty perfect hostel.
