I had to double pay for the room. I paid expedia, but when i got there, they had my reservation but no money so I had to pay twice for the room. Expedia needs to either clarify that going through them and paying only reserves the room. However, the staff was very nice and helpful.

You get what you pay for. The hotel is ok, not a luxurious one. But it does the job. AC works great, tv remote doesn’t. Water pressure is low. The location is good close to main stores and attractions. The beds are new so the fell awesome. Pillows too. Overall is just ok if you are looking for a place to sleep, nothing else.

The front desk at night is great, but during the morning everything has to be done through the chinese restaurant desk and there’s a young lady that works day shift. She harasses you about night stay payments or even asks raising her voice in from of all people at the restaurant to give her the TV remote and room keys back. I think that there should be a better control in day time. It’s embarrassing to get stopped in your way out and get asked not in private to pay your night stay which you already did prior at check in. I understand that she is trying to do her job but there are ways. It is unfortunate but this is something that happens with every reservation I make. I hope that they talk to her or give her a briefing to who’s booked and for how long so this doesn’t happen every time. The report given to her should include everything booked rooms, rooms to be vacated, who’s paid for and who’s to pay, etc. in other words with a little bit of management these things shouldn’t be happening.

La atención es fatal, el hotel es sencillo, expedia da un precio y al llegar al hotel cobran un precio más alto. Es un abuso porque no quieren dar la habitación y no hablan con expedia... si no se paga lo sacan y siempre cobran a expedia el no show. Expedia tampoco se hizo cargo de resolver xq dijeron que el hotel bebía hacerlo. Me sentí estafada por ambos.

I chose this property for its proximity to the Viana bus terminal, which has since been closed. However, the hotel is only 3 blocks from the Tranportes Cristina bus depot so it worked out fine for a 5 am ride to San Pedro Sula. The hotel is across the street from a local bus terminal for rides to Sambo Creek and other local spots. There is a grocery store a few steps away too. The building itself appears to be an apartment building being used for a hotel. You have to enter through a Chinese restaurant during the day, which is weird but works fine. The building isn't fancy but the rooms are clean and cheap. The neighborhood isn't attractive but security is decent at the hotel. I will stay at a hostel up in the forest on my next visit to La Ceiba, but Hotel El Dorado is a cheap option for those who need travel logistics more than beauty.
