Si the place is very clean but it’s far from glamorous
Very well located but my only issue was the paper thin walls
Someone’s phone was ringing in their room and it woken me up as it felt it was in my room
So if you are young or on a budget . I would recommend it
If comfort and luxury is important then skip it
The bedroom was a good size, clean, geographically good location and had friendly staff. Unfortunately the hostel was not far from a bar that was pumping music till late. However the room had a new tv thay could connect to Netflix, youtube etc
The Guatemalan decor and ambience was nice.
Location was good but the access was poor. No on-site parking, as the hotel is down a narrow alley. Had to pay extra for parking. Also, even though they accepted credit cards, they wanted a 7% surcharge! Nowhere else in Guatemala have I experienced this.
Cheap hotel room is like a cell. Night time under a light bulb

everything we needed
The location was great as we stayed just in the neighbour behind the tourist bus stop. great balcony and great little convenience store across the hostel with super cheap local prices.
The hotel's location was perfect, with many great restaurants and shops within walking distance. I was able to easily explore the city without needing to take public transportation
