Great location, historic hotel. Nice touch to have a log fire in the room because otherwise the hotel is unheated.

The room was clean. It was cold during our stay, so having a fireplace was nice. Our toilet stopped working during our last night there so we had to use the toilets in the common area. Shower was a mystery, we managed hot water just once. Breakfast was ok, nothing to remember. I would not recommend dinner there, our food was cold.
Great location, but overall we thought it isn’t worth what we paid for it.

This place is a museum. In normal situation, it is run as autograph or luxury selection. You use antique bed and in rooms with colonian furnitures. One block away from the famous church and Mayan market. The staff ain a seperate office and very professional to give you timetable and help you with guide to any place.A chef team serve you for breakfest. You pay local price for luxury selection place.

Loved our room and thought we had gotten an upgraded and later learned that ll rooms have a fireplace. Great location- steps away from the cemetery, Santo Thomas Church and of course the market. It is a colonial style (older hotel). The linens and towels were of nice quality.

This 1930s-era palace features colonial-era furniture and art that makes you feel like you’ve gone back in time or staying in a museum. Conveniently located just steps from the market and a block from the main church. Beautifully maintained including old world charm like wood stacked in a hearth box next to your fireplace, fresh water in a carafe and goblets on a tray, and beautiful courtyards. Authenticity throughout added to the richness of the experience. We felt like royalty!

You press a button in your room and someone comes and lights the open fire for you! This hotel is a piece of history in the centre of mayan culture, and it is also a luxury hotel. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Great place with lots of character! It is right in the center of things if you're going to the market or cemetery, although a bit of a walk from where most shuttles drop off I think (tuk-tuks are available, but negotiate before getting in!). The beds were very comfortable, there were plenty of outlets - though no overhead lighting - and they brought a pitcher of purified water for drinking and teeth brushing. The breakfast was also very good. The only disappointments were the expensive bar (which didn't have purified ice) and the sort of threadbare vintage furniture in the room (which could easily be fixed without losing the charm). We were only there for one night to go to the market, and I wish we could have stayed longer!

If you like staying in historical properties with period furnishings, yet with all modern amenities, this is the place for you! It's great to see how the wealthy lived in the colonial era.
Front desk employees were super helpful and spoke English. The included breakfast was delicious and served in a historical room with a view.
We received drink vouchers, but did not know they had to be used on arrival day before 7pm.
Consider calling to ask for rooms with windows facing the back of the property, which is a green space, instead of the rooms facing the streets.

Great location, maybe 1 minute walk to start of the market. Room was very large and bed comfy. Bathroom was fine as we had hot water always and good water pressure. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only negative was the inclusive breakfast. Service was poor (received toast, 5 mins later received the jam, 5 mins later still the butter). Also the breakfast food was average. It's all included so can't complain too much. Only other comment is bar doesn't open to 5pm. It's the only one on town , there was always guests waiting for it to open. Maybe open bar earlier ?
Overall great place to stay.
