They double charge you. The room smelled gross and there were mosquitos everywhere. Despite this, it was cheap, safe, staff was nice.

2/10 Poor

There is endless cockroaches throughout. The pictures of the private room are not the same as the actual room. Most uncomfortable bed in Guatemala. There were people yelling in the common area until 3 am, then construction in the street at 8 am. No sleep, and even if I could sleep the mattress was only springs no cushion. Not worth the money

Peaceful oasis in a big city
This place was a pleasant surprise, much better than we expected. It was rather quiet and peaceful except for the street noise, and we loved the little courtyard. The staff provided exceptional service.

4/10 Fair

La propiedad como tal no me gustó. Los colchones super sucios y apestosos las sabanas muy manchadas y como son de color carmelitas pues no dan buena impresión. Había una pareja fumando marihuana. Los baños del lugar sinceramente dan vergüenza. El lugar como tal necesita ser remodelado al menos que cambien los colchones y las sabanas manchadas. Las personas que trabajan ene l lugar son amables. Cuando llegue al lugar y me lo mostraron a los 10 mnts q vi el bañó y las condiciones decidí cancelar mi reservación no estuve ni diez minutos y me dijeron que ya no podía a pesar de haber pagado en efectivo. Dijeron que ya no se podía devolver el dinero así que me enoje y me fui prefería perder mi dinero que estar ahí.

6/10 Good

Las personas que trabajan hacen su mejor esfuerzo para que los huespedes tengan una estacia adecuada, y el lugar es hasta agradable y tienes la posibilidad de ver e interactuar con viajeros guatemaltecos, sin embargo, la calidad de las instalaciones, la limpieza, la conexion a WiFi, etc. no me harian regresar. Creo que por un poco mas de dinero o lo mismo, se consiguen mejores opciones.
