Our stay was comfortable & convenient. Annie was great &easy accessible for help but the neighborhood was loud, making it difficult to sleep, however we did sleep with our windows open.

San Ignacio is a great town in Belize. This property is easily within walking distance to almost the entire town. I'd absolutely recommend Arnolds. They have a small limited restaurant on property. So if you don't feel like doing out you can eat on property, which is a great benefit.

We will definitely stay here again when we come back! The 2 sisters who run it are the best! They gave us recommendations in the area, had a beautiful breakfast with fresh bread from the market and fresh juice, and even let us use their microwave for our leftovers! Thank you for everything!!

We had excellent service at Arnold’s Guest House. The room rate included a continental breakfast and there was bottled water available. The proprietor even offered laundry service! We highly recommend the Ajaw Chocolate store’s experience and the Cahal Pech Mayan ruins, both of which are in walking distance.

Wow! Top notch customer service, spotless rooms that had the ac cranked down when you walk in. Hand towels folded like roses (she learned to do online).
Many destinations easily walkable. Then there's the view from the rooftop patio..this place is a gem. We cannot wait to return!

Pleasant time and awesome staff
We loved the location of the hotel (walkable to many things), but the AC could not keep up with the heat. There was a loud, barkong dog right outside our window (not this hotels failt bit something to consider)

This is a great location, it’s very close to restaurants and we were able to hike to a nearby ruins. The property owners very helpful and accommodating with transportation, excursions and info on the area. Something light is provided in the morning for breakfast which was nice.

Property is older, but very well taken care of.
Stuff was really nice, they gave you pointers on what to see and where to eat. It is located in the center of town so you have many options to eat.
Coffee and toast were a nice gesture in the morning.
If you are looking for clean, convenient and cheaper place, I would recommend to stay here.

Outdated but clean
The pictures make the room look a bit nicer than it is in real life. Service is very great, and the rooms are clean, but the building is quite outdated. There is a great view of the town from the roof though!

Simple studio-type hotel in the heart of San Ignancio. There were no frills but that is exactly what we were looking for as we did not plan to spend much time in the room. But at the same time, they serve coffee, fruit and toast every morning and have extra little things you might need (beach towels to take on a tour, etc.)
The ladies working at the hotel were so friendly and very helpful when one of our tours got goofed up! We would definitely not hesitate in recommending Arnold's Guest House to anyone looking for a place in San Ignacio.
