We arrived at Copan on the shuttle from Antigua about 1 p.m. or thereabouts. We had read about Dona Elena on tripadvisor and decided that would be our place to stay for our sojourn in Copan. It is up hill, very uphill from the parque central. There is a steep 40 degree stretch for a block, and then it is... More

I think I made the best choice by staying in Casa Dona Elena. As soon as I arrived, I felt at home and asked them if my room is available one more night. Luckily, they had empty room when I was there. Their hospitality is really amazing that I was touched. My room was very clean, ample and comfortable. Also... More

I've often used Trip Advisor to make hotel selections, but this is the first hotel that made me want to write a review as I saw this local humbled family working so hard to provide the best possible hospitality at an unbeatable price. We were three friends staying so we took one of the large Triple-rooms in the back which... More

I have been to Copan on different occasions and stayed at different hotels around town. I usually like little boutique or home-y style hotels. So, why not start with the good things? The food that Dona Elena makes, is amazing, the breakfast is very vast, typical of village people, she makes amazing breakfast, from pancakes, to "tipicos", to hot tamales... More

I love Casa Dona Elena! I have been here for three weeks and everything has been great here. Rooms are nice with hot showers! Food is excellent. But above all, this is a wonderful family. Always super nice and helpful. I have greatly enjoyed my time here and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone.

We stayed at Casa Dona Elena for seven weeks while on a family visit. Our clean, bright, airy room overlooking the Copán Valley suited us perfectly as headquarters for forays into the countryside, visits to the archaeological sites, shopping and entertainment in the town. We met fine, hospitable people. It suited our need for a home away from home, and... More

I'm nineteen and came to copan ruinas by myself to live for two months. The guacamaya Spanish school placed me in casa Dona Elena and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Elena cooks amazing food and always places high value on her customers, and her helpers are so sweet and so willing to help you with... More

Though I've been traveling to many places, I've never taken time to write a review before. However, a good impression that I had from Casa Dona Elena B&B and the hospitality of everyone there makes me want to write this review. The location of the hotel is great. Though it's not in the heart of the town, it's still in... More

I wish we could have spent longer here. We were only her for 2 nights but it was the best stay on our whole vacation. The location was great. It was a walk into town but what a great walk! The street of Copan are wonderful and very safe. The hosts here were extremely accommodating. Nery, the owners son, gave... More
