The staff was great. The place was quiet. We were able to rest after a full day of activities. They offered complimentary coffee or teas daily in the morning and evenings.
The only thing was that the hot water was not working and the water is pretty cold.

Essentially a private room hostel, it’s a safe and easy spot to stay, great location in Panajachel (just a couple minutes walk to the lake). The staff is friendly and responsive.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, people started having a party on the terrace playing music and talking so loud that woke me up. It seems like there is no rule for guest to be quiet at night. I could not sleep at all.

Very nice location just seemed a little outdated. It was very hot in the room, but we understood due to the season. Maybe extra fans in the room would’ve helped.
The staff is excellent they kept the property very clean. They are very accommodating. There's a lovely garden setting complete with a cat a parrot and a goldfish pond. Out of their control. the water is brown. It leaves you and your clothes unclean. Construction next door starts at 7:00 a.m. 7 days.

The bad thing in this place …. The bathroom of our room was outside the room on the hallway so totally disappointed 😗
Petit hôtel très agréable. Les chambres sont bien, la salle de bain correcte mais il n’y avait pas d’eau chaude. Un joli perroquet nous disait allô tous les jours.
