Si the place is very clean but it’s far from glamorous Very well located but my only issue was the paper thin walls Someone’s phone was ringing in their room and it woken me up as it felt it was in my room So if you are young or on a budget . I would recommend it If comfort and luxury is important then skip it

The Guatemalan decor and ambience was nice. Location was good but the access was poor. No on-site parking, as the hotel is down a narrow alley. Had to pay extra for parking. Also, even though they accepted credit cards, they wanted a 7% surcharge! Nowhere else in Guatemala have I experienced this.

bueno, bonito y barato.

Buen hotel, sencillo pero suficiente. Limpio y en general en buen estado, en un callejon, por lo que es tranquilo, pero cerca de la calle principal y de la calle Santander (donde estan todos los bares y restaurantes).
