This was a return trip tor me to the best garden-area boutique hotel in Palenque's beautiful "La Canada" garden district. Hotel Xibalba has a distinct Mayan decor of carved stellas. 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 town!! The staff are attentive and friendly, the owners are onsite daily to assure each guest is comfortable. Many tours are also offered directly by the owner through Viajes Shivalva, which is another big Plus.

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.

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 clean, and there was plenty of hot water.There are 2 computers on broadband by the stairs, for about 10 pesos for half an hour - don't know about wi-fi. The little restaurant does fairly standard breakfasts for about 70 pesos.

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 the colectivo to the ruins and few minutes more to a little store for your necessaries. The staff was helpful, but spoke little English. Based on the price, I think this hotel is one of the best choices in Palenque.
