Wir hatten einen wirklich schönen Aufenthalt im Casa Mundo Verde. Margarethe und Leonel war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir können die Free Walking Tour von Leonel sehr empfehlen man lernt sowohl die Satdt kennen wie auch eine wenig über die Geschichte von Nicaragua.

We really enjoyed our stay at casa mundo verde. Our room was comfortable and we appreciated having hot water for the shower. The breakfast included was nice and we also tried the passionfruit cheesecake which was delicious. Leo and Margarita were great hosts and I highly recommend choosing Casa Mundo Verde for your stay in Leon.

I assume the rooms are very good, as is their service, coffee and help with tours and anything you would like to do in and around León and further beyond. The place is run by local guide Leo and Dutch Margarita. Highly recommended to enquire after the guided tours of León. Also the best coffee in town. And smoothies.

Wir haben drei Nächte im Casa Mundo Verde verbracht und waren mit allem sehr zufrieden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, alle waren super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben tolle Touren gebucht und auch hier wurde auf jeden Wunsch eingegangen. Das Frühstück war super und auch zum Verweilen lädt das Café ein. Der Oreo Cheesecake war hammer! Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis unserer Meinung nach. Ein toller ruhiger Ort in mitten der vollen Stadt. Vielen Dank, wir würden uns jederzeit wieder dafür entscheiden.
