We had to break our journey and stay in Coban overnight on our way north by car from Antigua. The thought of staying in a converted convent sounded wonderful, the reality was a little different. The hotel is situated on a junction of very noisy roads in the middle of a very ordinary town which has little going for it. Indeed both our guide and reception suggested it would be better to stay in the hotel at night! This was probably the best hotel in town and the staff were very friendly but with little English. We did manage with our schoolboy Spanish. The grounds were well kept, small but beautiful. The food in the restaurant was plentiful and good. However you need to ask for an inside room if you want some respite from the road noise. We stayed in room 7, which if all the other rooms are in the same state of repair, means the hotel is in need of a fairly major overhaul. Shame really because the staff were really nice, but you wouldn't use Coban as a centre for you stay in the area.

a log fire in our room and a really good , inexpensive restaurant

The hotel is centrally located. It has a nice garden and is decorated with fresh flowers.
The rooms do not have TV or AC

the staff is very friendly and the food is great!

Free WiFi!

La Posada was refered as 'the best Copan has to offer" in my Lonely Planet Guide on Guatemala so I was expecting to find a comfortable, warm and welcoming hotel. Well, what a desapointement. While the gardens are very nice, the two rooms we were offered looked very old and had a very old fashion style. The sheets were so thin that you could see through them and the blankets were itchy. It was very cold and I almost froze to death the first night I stayed there. Luckyly I had extra blankets in my car which made the second night much warmer. My friends had a room on the main street and where woken up at 4.30 by the noise of cars and people queuing up by the G&T bank.

The second morning there was no hot water because the hotel was full.

The reception staff was not very friendly and service at the restaurant was very slow although courteous. One positive note, food was nice!

The rates are good but if you are looking for comfort look elsewhere!

In my opinion La Posada is not a hotel you should stay at if you are in Coban!
