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.

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.

Great Value
You get what you pay for. Great location, sufficient accommodations for a week long or shorter stay, friendly staff, decent bed with a fan in the room and clean bathroom.

I booked my hotel stay last minute and I wasn’t expecting the best however it was amazing just for one night. Everything is near by and I was able to grab a bite to eat without worrying of venturing to far. There is no running AC but the humidifier and fan in the room was good and I slept well. I love the rooftop area as well
It’s my first solo trip and starting my trip at the why not hotel was a good option for me
I highly recommend to book with them

Overall great stay! The only issue was that the shower wouldn’t drain. Other than that, everything was perfect and the staff was very accommodating and kind.

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.

Location was close to everything. Rooftop was beautiful and the workers were friendly
I lost my tablet and the worker found it and held it at the front desk..place feels very safe as there are cameras every where. Book your hotel transportation and tour directly with them as it is cheaper

The property is fairly nice, I personally loved the rooftop. It was quiet. Staff is very nice. My only complaint was the shower. It needs a little deep cleaning and in need of a being repair/replaced; the water never runs consistently cold or hot. I had a solo room and it really was just the dresser, hangar, and a fan which was perfectly fine with me since I was out all day. I would most definitely stay again here in the future.

Can't beat it for the $$
Found this a very pleasant place to stay. The location is great, there is a rooftop deck with views of the Fuego Volcano erupting in the distance and the staff were very kind. The rooms are basic but comfortable and there are lounging areas with bean bags if you just want to chill somewhere. Highly recommend!
