Hotel is in a good location. It's a hostel with shared dormitories, but it also has private rooms and private toilet/shower if you choose.

Quick stay and acceptable hotel for the price we paid. Our toilet was missing the seat (weird) but we just chose to deal with it as we were leaving early next day anyway and did not stay much at the hotel. Bed slept good enough. Shower had an attached heater to the shower head which I had never seen. It warmed the water enough so it did not feel cold. Location was also very convenient which is the main reason we chose this location. Staff was friendly.

The location and staff are absolutely amazing. So nice. The accomodations are basic but everything is extremely clean and well maintained. The place has cool character and is surrounded by an endless amount of super cool restaurants, bars, and shopping. Directly in the center of the town.

I really loved this locations. It is centrally located so everything is walkable. There wasn’t any hot water and I paid for a private room at the top however it’s connected to the rooftop so there is a lot of traffic crossing my room to get there. And other patrons weren’t abiding by the quiet hours. It’s a great area to catch a sunrise so I don’t blame them but the stomping up the stairs and the drones flying at 5:45/6am were not fun for us light sleepers. Besides that all good. Love the staff

I had an awkward gap in my schedule before heading to Mexico, so I booked a budget accommodation—but it exceeded my expectations. The staff was very friendly, and the place was clean with just the right temperature and humidity.

One of the best bathrooms that I encountered in Guatemala. Nice hot shower. The only downside was that there was no place to hang clothes in the room. Staff was friendly and helpful.
