Many internacionalistas have been posted to Jinotega over the years, and the town has a friendly attitude toward strangers, though most travellers only stop here on day-trips from Matagalpa.
It's worth coming to Jinotega simply for the ride, however, since the journey between here and Matagalpa is one of the most magnificent in the country, winding slowly up through misty green mountains, though the road is badly maintained.
Another cheap and simple option is the Hotel Primavera (up to US$5), five blocks from the Parque on the main street, while closer to the centre the Hospedaje Tito (up to US$10), one and a half blocks north of the cathedral, has simple, spotlessly clean rooms.
