Reviews of Hotel La Escalinata

Beautiful hotel right in Copan Ruinas, very walkable to restaurants.

The property was very clean. The breakfast was good. The owner was very friendly and gave great suggestions for places to visit.

Best hotel I stayed in during my 12 days in Honduras. Kind host, nice-sized room, beautiful views from the balcony, and a great location only a few minutes from the center of town.

Kind service and excellent breakfast.

This is a gem of a small hotel. Blanka is friendly and accommodating, breakfast is excellent (and changes daily), and the view from the breakfast patio is beautiful. If you can get one of the two balcony rooms, you can enjoy the view all the time! The garden area is also nice and provides shade on hot afternoons. It's a short walk from the hotel to the center. That said, Copan Ruinas's cobblestone streets are steep, so be prepared to walk up and down a lot. If the hills get to you, you can always catch at tuk-tuk for 20 lempiras. The hotel wi-fi is reliable and drinking water is always available. My bathroom was clean and well lighted, there was plenty of space to hang clothes, and the a/c worked well.

The only thing I missed in my room was a desk and chair.

I was concerned that this hotel may be a little far from the center of town and too far away to walk to the Copan Ruins. It turns out that the location is perfect. It is a couple of blocks from the center, but that is a good thing. The center of town is absolute chaos in the evenings with tuk-tuk's and motorbikes screaming up and down the streets. La Escalinata is located just far enough away that it is nice and peaceful at night, but close enough to the center that you can walk to the restaurants in just a few minutes. I also easily walked to the Copan ruins from the hotel in about 20 minutes. On the way back, it is uphill, but you can hire a tuk-tuk to take you back for just $1-$2 if you prefer. The air conditioning worked well and there was ample hot water for the shower. I'm not sure why, but I slept like a rock at this place! It was very quiet at night and the bed was comfortable. I was located at the back of the building and the view of the hills, jungle, and sunset in the evenings from my little attached balcony was beautiful! Finally, the kind lady who runs the hotel is a wealth of information about the area and even had good recommendations for places to visit elsewhere in Honduras. I enjoyed talking with her very much.

Overall, I was quite satisfied with my stay. If I was forced to suggest an improvement it would be to add a small table or additional shelving to the room to make it a little easier to unpack your things.

Walking distance to center of town and restaurants. Good portions served at breakfast. Attentive, friendly staff. Clean and tastefully decorated.

Buildings seemed to amplify sounds. Ear plugs help.

TThe stuff was so kind and helpful

I stayed in Escalitana hotel to visit Copan Ruinas,, over all, things were great, The breakfast was delicious the balcony and restaurant view was amazing , I can say is ok fora short stay.

Blanca, the owner of the hotel took care of her guests. She gave recommendations how we can get to and from places we want to go and visit. Breakfast was included in our stay. We did not have the same meal during our stay. We had delicious homemade and filling breakfast daily. The room was big and spacious enough for 4 people. The location of the hotel is convenient that everything in city proper is within 5-minute walking distance.

The staff's attention. The breakfast is also amazing.

Breakfast was nice, and I'm glad it was a different menu the two mornings we spent there. Although the location was a little far from downtown, it was still within walking distance, which was nice. I also loved the balcony from the room.

The beds were not super comfortable, but otherwise we had no complaint that could actually be fixed by the hotel. For example, power went out city-wide the last night, which meant no A/C and no wifi. Luckily, power came on before bed, so we were able to sleep under cooler conditions, but there isn't anything the hotel could have done to prevent that. I would suggest, however, getting a back-up battery for the wifi router. My daughter would have appreciated having that to do while the electricity was out. The only other thing is that I wish the hotel was closer to downtown, but there is no way to remedy that.

Great property and super helpful owner. Good breakfast included to fill up before you visit Copán! Property has parking which is useful.

Lovely checkin and the kind host waited for me on the last bus of the night! Comfortable beds and linen.

The hill you have to trudge to walk to the hotel. Balcony is very small in the room, but the view is very nice.

Amazing! wonderful hotel atop hill with multi levels overlooking hilly tropical forest view with cicadas singsonging away from our private balcony. With best beds I’ve slept in for a long while woke refreshed to strong hot shower and delicious breakfasts (and strong great Honduran coffee) on the hotel patio. I did yoga in the morning in another garden area! Fast wifi. Really liked host - kind and made it look easy getting us booked to La Cieba - which was nearly impossible according to all the blogs.

The room had a great view from the small balcony. The breakfast was varied each day, the staff were available but obtrusive. Few minutes walk from the main square but nice and quiet (as is most of Copán Ruinas at night). Comfortable large beds. Fan and a/C to chose from.

The room felt a bit small because you couldn't see the balcony door from the beds.

This is a small boutique hotel located high on the edge of town. An easy walk to the town square. The included breakfast was adequate to get the day going. Friendly staff. The owner is on site.

The bathroom needed remodeling.

Clean, quiet and comfortable rooms. The hotel is on a small hill and our room had nice views from the small balcony. It’s within a short walking distance from the main plaza (you have to climb the hill on the way back or take a taxi).

Stuff was friendly and attentive. Gorgeous courtyard and decor. Will return.

Strong raid smell in the room, beds and pillows were very, very firm and not confortable.
