“Bedbugs”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

First the positive: The rooms were very big and the people at the hotel were extremely friendly. BUT we were with 9 people and 5 of us got bed bugs after this hotel. Furthermore, we were in a room on the ground floor right next to the street, very noisy! Bath room was also not very clean. Unfortunate cause it could be a great hotel!

“The best part of our vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

We were fortunate enough to stay at this hotel. It is very beautiful, conviently located, and had friendly and accommodating staff. The restaurant was very good and the prices were affordable, lots of hot water, fresh towels, free internet (both wifi and provided computers), secure underground parking, pool and hot tub...all of this and an unbelievablly low price. Thank you Don Horacio

“A great place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2010

Although this hotel may seem expensive in guatemalan standards, it is well worth it. We paid $61.00 USD for a double room with a spacious area with a couch, chair and a counter with a sink. It had windows(abiet could get a wee noisy) and the showre was hot, full breakfast was super and 2 computers with unlimited free access. Staff are all terrific..big hugs when we left. Great hotel in a great area.

“Didn't stay long enough it was dreadful!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 March 2010

I am truly gobsmacked by some of the reviews I have read. It is clear that what is comfortable and good to a Backpacker in his 20s or 30s is not the same as defined by the more mature professional traveller looking to travel comfortably. I missed out on the backpacking when I was young. Now at the "ensuite" stage of my life when I can and do want to travel to places that don't involve lying on beach for two weeks, I want to do it comfortably if not luxuriously. We arrived at this hotel in the middle of an Intrepid comfort tour through Mexico, Guatamala and Belize. The room we were shown to had wires coming out of the top of the shower (a serious H&S hazzard) and the bathroom stank of mould. After finding a couple of dead cockroaches we decided not to stay and moved to a clean, newly refurbished posada across the road at a lot less than the list price of this hotel.
