Loved the location and that hotel! Friendly and helpful staff, my room was spotless, comfortable beds, loved the terrace, delicious food The hotel will need to work on the kitchen, took a long time for our food, needed more staff especially for the Sunday crowd! Despite it all I would return! Every that I wanted to go, I could walk. Would recommend to park your car for your stay and walk, Uber or Tuk tuk…. Felt safe. Want to return soon.

It was one of our better stays. The rate included breakfast located on the rooftop which was very pleasant and the food was good. very good location near the main central park. The room was a little awkward. It had two full beds that were raised on platforms that were so high that they included a step stool to help with getting onto the bed. Shower and hot water was very good. Because of configuration, the room was very tight.

Nice hotel. Would stay there again.
The hotel is very close to Parque Central, so it's very convenient. Only stayed one night, but the staff was very helpful with booking the shuttle to Lake Atitlan the following day and having our clothing washed the same day we arrived. I would recommend it.
