The staff is excellent they kept the property very clean. They are very accommodating. There's a lovely garden setting complete with a cat a parrot and a goldfish pond. Out of their control. the water is brown. It leaves you and your clothes unclean. Construction next door starts at 7:00 a.m. 7 days.

Very nice location just seemed a little outdated. It was very hot in the room, but we understood due to the season. Maybe extra fans in the room would’ve helped.

Essentially a private room hostel, it’s a safe and easy spot to stay, great location in Panajachel (just a couple minutes walk to the lake). The staff is friendly and responsive.

This hotel is in good condition, nice rooms and ambiance. It has a great location along the main road and close to the lake, easy access to food, shopping, ferries. The main intersection of the road plays loud music, but you are at the opposite end so it is quiet except for a rooster that continuously crows all through the night...bring ear plugs! :D This place was safe and great value.

Location is great. Room is good size for 3 people. 5% credit card surcharge is very high and not necessary. Bathroom lacks privacy with window directly looking into neighbouring hotel.
