The lady in management is amazing!! The breakfast they made were delicious and had a great portion! (Let them know if you have any allergies because it is not a self serve, they hand it to you at the table). The room was amazing and my towel and trash bag were changed everyday. The Central Park, restaurants, souvenir shops were all walkable. Yes, the hotel is on a steep hill so just careful when driving. But the location and service are great for the price.

Unique property in a colonial Honduran town. The only challenge is that the streets are cobblestone, steep, and narrow. Be ready for this. The hotel was great, traditio al delicious Honduran breakfast, very nice owner/staff, and very clean. Not a cookie cutter place to stay - highly recommended. Near the Macaw Park, and Copan Ruins.

The room was confortable and clean with a nice balcony overlooking the forest. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful to keep you going all day. The hotel sits high on a hill with parking and an easy walk down to the center of town. Copan Ruins are just a few minutes away, flag a Tuctuc to take you.

What a nice little hotel this was! I stayed here with 5 family members recently on a visit to Copan Ruinas. The room was cozy and the beds were comfortable. The complimentary traditional breakfast was made fresh each morning and was delicious. Many thanks to the owner Blanca who was very accommodating and even waited up until 1:00 AM to check us in after bad traffic from Tegucigalpa turned our 8 hour drive into a 15 hour one. Offering a low room rate, great service and a great location make this a recommended stay for me.

I enjoyed my stay at Hotel La Escalinata recently. Blanca the owner was very friendly and keeps up with current events. I enjoyed talking to her. We had an issue with the AC one night but it was quickly fixed. I will stay at this hotel next time I visit Copán Ruinas. Also the view from the room was nice.

Our stay here was phenomenal! Check-in was quick and easy, and our room was spotless with great AC, hot water, a TV for Netflix/YouTube, and a beautiful balcony overlooking the town. The location is perfect, just a 5-minute walk to Parque Central, restaurants, cafés, and shops. Copán Ruins and Macaw Mountain are about a 20–25 minute walk or a US$2 tuk-tuk ride away. The owner was incredibly kind and always available. After our visit to Luna Jaguar Hot Springs, she even brought us extra towels since ours were dirty from the mud. Housekeeping cleaned our room after the first night, which was a nice surprise. Breakfast was delicious both mornings. One day we enjoyed eggs, sausage, beans, plantains, tortillas, fresh orange juice, and coffee. The next morning we had homemade cheese pupusas. Nearby, I highly recommend The Artisan Boutique for handmade souvenirs, Parque Central for relaxing, Sol de Copán for excellent German food, Copán Ruins (hire a guide!), Luna Jaguar Hot Springs for the thermal pools and amazing US$25 massages, and Los Asados for fantastic steak nachos and steak kebabs (huge portions). Checkout is at noon, and the owner even offered to store our luggage until our transportation arrived. Exceptional hospitality, delicious breakfasts, a peaceful atmosphere, and an unbeatable location. We would absolutely stay here again!

Definitely did not live up to the property ratings on Expedia. Massively overpriced for what is essentially a basic property. Rooms were adequate but very basic, albeit clean. The property is adequate (2.5 stars) with the back terrace and breakfast service bringing it up to 3 stars.

Blanca was amazing she went above and beyond to help she made our reservations at luna jaguar, recommended a great restaurant cafe via via, and was nice enough to let us put my father in laws insulin in the fridge. The room waa very clean and it was a great price i think we had the best room with a balcony in the front 😊 AC worked very well and my favorite HOT water! Almost stayed at Hacienda San Lucas but im glad we didn't this hotel is in a very good area with easy walking access to restaurants and stores with typical honduran clothing, purses, jewelry, etc. Highly recommend.
