Location & great staff.

The rooftop overlooking the lake was amazing, it is located and quiet zone, but nevertheless close to everything.

I didn’t realise how far away from the city this place was. I wish I booked somewhere closer

Location by the water was nice

Couldn’t open our window as our room was on the building, sewerage area. Most likely could have paid to upgrade room to avoid that.

The views from communal areas where amazing. Quiet, beautiful gardens. Moved us when we told them about a smelly bathroom. However in hindsight we could have kept plugs in to decrease smell. Loved being able to walk up to restaurant.

Too many cats around the hotel

Stayed in August 2025

Rooms were a little tired but given the cost of the hotel it’s not a moan.

The best views of the lake in San Pedro. Very good value for money. Cute cats all around the property.

The bathroom needs some " cariñito " as we said in Spanish. It wasn't 100% clean.

Love the incredible view, the colonial structure, the quietness.

The room was hot even with the fan, but I slept fine anyway.

Amazing views. Friendly and helpful owner.

The only downside? Amid so much tranquility, some murals filled with blood and violence felt jarring, promoting a rather biased and questionable version of history. In Guatemala, 43% of the population remains purely indigenous, while in a very similar country (Belize), it’s just 17%. In the U.S., 2%. In Mexico, 45%. In Haiti, 0%. In the Dominican Republic, 4%. Not all colonizations were the same

I loved the hotel and its location: within walking distance of the center yet away from the noise and bustle of the tuk-tuks, nestled in lush, almost jungle-like vegetation right by the lake, surrounded by splendid, colorful, and welcoming restaurants. The affectionate cats and the warm, incredibly kind staff added to the charm. The shared kitchen and fridge were a fantastic idea for a light meal with a cold beer.

Great value for the price you pay. Wonderful staff. Located right on the lake, tranquil corner with beautiful views. Nice terrace with outdoor seating with absolutely unobstructed views of the lake. Comfortable room for a family of 4. Hot water. Easy to get to by foot, boat, or tuk tuk.

The cats ! We felt a little weird about the walk to go there ( only because we were tired after Acatenango ) but we were pleasantly surprised once we got there. The location was great and I love how the reception is practically outside, surrounded by beautiful plants. Oh and I mention the cats ? Everything was great and the staff was exceptional.

The location on the laguna. It was like staying in your own private villa. Pretty gardens and flowers. El Gato restaurant was the star with amazing food and friendly staff.

The rooms are a bit simple

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Mikaso for the serene and quiet neighborhood! It’s about a 15 minute walk from the main area of town. It has an amazing terrace with beautiful views of the lake! The hotel cats will greet and cuddle with you when you come and go. Staff is very approachable and helpful.

I didn’t find the staff that welcoming and they didn’t explain where anything was, eg the kitchen or how to rent kayaks - I just remembered these things from the booking and asked about them. Though i slept fine I didn’t find the mattress that comfy, and the shower did not get warm at all.

I liked that I could rent kayaks there and that I could re fill my water. It was also nice to have a view of the lake from many places on site, and great to have a kitchen to use.

Great location

Hotel is in idyllic setting with the most amazing view of the lake. Short walk into town so access to lively bar scene not far away but nice and quiet in hotel. Kayaks available for rent in the hotel. The restaurant on site does lovely food (breakfast, lunch and dinner).

Comfy room with a great rooftop restaurant overlooking the lake. We ADORED the cats here! :)

The view from the hotel was unbelievable so beautiful and not far from the main street

We loved this place as soon as we arrived. Although we didn’t have a lake view room, there was a rooftop common area for everyone to use. So we watched the sunrise every morning from here. The rooms we the perfect size, hot water in the shower and a fully equipped kitchen for cooking and storing anything in the fridge you need to. The staff are lovely and it’s just a really relaxing place to be. They hire kayaks out for Q20 and each day you can avail of a buy 1 get 1 free beer in the restaurant on the top floor. Their food is really good too! It’s a about a 10 minute walk from the Main Street but that means it’s lovely and quiet at night. We would 100% stay here again.

The room was quite hot. I wanted to turn on the AC but there was none, and had to use a small fan they had there. I had to open the window to get some cooler air into the room, but of course that meant that in the morning the outside noise got into the room :(

Very good value in general. It’s a beautiful place with very friendly staff. The rooftop is great for chilling. The shower is hot, the bed comfy, the gardens are very well maintained. The staff is friendly (people in Guatemala generally are).

As noted in the description- this is in the middle of the town and you will get quite a bit of noise all night (dogs barking, motorcycles, music playing). So be prepared that it's not the quietest since you are in the central location.

Great value, clean rooms and extremely friendly and helpful staff! This was a nice, clean, quiet hostel (not a "party hostel" vibe-- just chill, friendly guests cooking their breakfasts in the shared kitchen). This hostel is not beachfront, it is several blocks from restaurants and the beach but nice to walk through the cute little city. Some lovely common areas (2 rooftop patios).

Stunning views throughout. Mornings or afternoons on the terrace were fantastic, and the location outside the main areas of San Pedro provided a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Also great location if you’re planning to study at San Pedro Spanish school

Everything. Beautiful location and facilities with great staff and a really amazing restaurant. Felt like having a private villa lake side but with welcoming common areas.
