    Good, comfortable stay in the centre of Quetzaltenango

    The facilities are a little old, but everything works fine.

    Great location, right near the central plaza and a friendly owner/manager with lots of advice. Quiet rooms, and comfortable beds with clean bathrooms and a pleasant rooftop terrace.

    I had a room with an inside window, which was fine for a few days but perhaps a bit uncomfortable if you're planning to stay longer periods. There are other rooms available anyway.

    Terrace is lovely, hot water and super clean toilets. The owner and his little daughter were super nice. He provided all info on possible hikes to do on your own around Xela and how to get there, which was very useful.

    Nothing, really. It was great. I would stay here again.

    It was clean and Roberto was very helpful. The kitchen was equipped well, and the bed was comfortable. I did have an inside room without an exterior window but that didn’t bother me at all as I only slept in there and it eyes were closed.

    Walls are thin so you can hear others in the building - other guests were quiet and respectful so wasn’t a big problem

    Nice terrace, clean rooms and bathrooms, comfortable bed, close to the Central Park, nice staff

    My room was a bit small, it was ok for one person but I wouldn't recommend it for two people.

    Great location, clean, good value for money. I especially enjoyed the rooftop terrace where the kitchen is located. I was able to do my yoga there. Also I found the bed very comfortable and the sheets were very fresh and soft.

    Finally a place where it was quiet at night, no dogs, traffic sounds, or other guests making loud noises. Only the fireworks for Christmas, but that was actually a nice show visible from the rooftop terrace. Good beds and facilities to prepare your own meals.

    Location, it is close to town centre, you can find everything within 50 meters, nice and cheap breakfast, barber, small convience store and witin 100 meters another one open 24/7. Quiet street so Uber or tour operators can park or pick you up easy. Walking distance to central park with many optios to eat or drink. I felt very safe in Xela. Hotel did my laundry just for 40 QTZ.

    Double room was small for 2, but OK for one. Towels need replacing.

    Great location, 2 blocks from the main square, on a quiet street. Showers had hot water. Sophia ,the owner s daughter, is adorable. Nice terrace overlooking the city. There is also a kitchen up there, but I never used it. Robert was a very considerate host; he apologised when his other guests woke everyone at 4 am (going on a volcano hike) or when they were talking for hours late at night on their phones, he politely asked them to finish their calls.

    This is the best place I have stayed in my travels! Cheap simple rooms - with lots of blankets. The owner is super friendly and respectful and advised me on directions. The kitchen area is well equipped and is on the terrace which has a beautiful view. I felt so happy to be there in the mornings! The bathrooms were super clean. Soap and towels were provided. Quiet and no disturbance - this is the place for some privacy and rest. Xela is a beautiful spot and this is the hotel to stay at.

    Good value, but very uncomfy bed.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Single Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 1 night

    The bed was super hard, almost as hard as the floor. I didn't sleep well due to the bed. My room also had no window to the outside. My windows went to the hallway. One of my windows didn't close all the way, so I could hear people in the hallway clearly. The curtains didn't block out the light, so when the hallway light was on, it was still very light in my room.

    I liked the fact that I had a private room for the price of what would normally be a shared room. I didn't see any other clients my entire time at the hotel, so even my shared bathroom felt private.

    The one thing that would make it better is a coffee maker in the kitchen.

    Best bang for your buck! Very convenient location, close to the centro historico and lots of good cafés and restaurants. The person in charge was very helpful and waited for us when we arrived late at night for the check-in. The room was comfortable enough, nothing fancy, and the shared bathrooms were always clean. Water in the shower was warm. The rooftop terrace with a view of the cathedral was a nice plus, as well as access to the fridge and kitchen.

    Could be quieter. Neighborhood dogs/ traffic can be heard through the window as it’s not airtight. Ear plugs are an easy fix.

    Great location, English speaking host, a variety of tours/ shuttles can be booked at the property. Terrace is nice! The host handled a last minute cancellation of my final night for only 15Q charge.
