I stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Palenque. There are a couple of good restaurants nearby and the prices were decent as well. I would stay there again and recommend it to others as well. Mayaruinsonly Destination Expert - Guatemala More

Very close to the bus stations (1st one - collectivo where we arrived from Guatemala and 2nd one - the main bus station of the city). Hotel located in the hotel zone in La Canada, which is 5-10 minute walk from the main town centre. Very nice room with AC and large clean bathroom. Excellent value for money. Can't comment... More

We had a little trouble checking in because, as is frequent in some places, they insist that your card has no credit when this was not the case. The receptionist wasn't particularly polite about telling us this either. I'm pretty sure it's systems but the lady on reception was insistent it was the card! However the room was comfortable, spacious,... More

We stayed here because we were arriving in Palenque late at night and had to reserve beforehand, and since it was the high season, this was the only available hotel that we were able to find within our budget and that had a webpage. At first the prices seemed a bit high to me (we paid around $650 peso a... More

As always, I found the rooms clean, comfortable beds, AC and Hot water! Good food is found in the small restaurant. The price is Perfect as the best value in... More

we stayed here as part of a tour. The room was air conditioned and the beds very comfortable and everywhere was very clean. The location was great - away from the main part of the town, but surrounded by lush vegetation with lots of birds and monkeys!,.would definitely recommend it. More

This hotel is located amongst a number of other hotels about a 10-15 minute walk from the central plaza, and 5 minutes from the bus station. Staff were reasonably friendly and helpful, but have little English. Our room was big enough for our needs, and the bed was comfortable. No noise coming in from outside. The room and bathroom were...

Based on the earlier reviews, I was a little leery of this hotel, but liked it's location. Palenque is a grubby town, but La Canada is certainly the nicest and quietest area to stay near the town. The hotel was clean, quiet by the town's standards and had a decent restaurant. It is a five minute walk to pick up... More
