Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
location of this place is very convenient, good price, people from the reception are very nice and helpfull
Too simple for the price, TV has only several programas, very noisy early in the morning and the whole Day, Swimmingpool was close, terrible bed, i got hurt my back. Bathroom quite ok with space and warm water
This property is not worth booking. Expedia states that you can pay online to reserve it. Once you get to the Hotel (if you can call it that), the staff tells you that they do not take payments from Expedia and that you MUST pay in cash. It is an inconvenience. Staff DID NOT know what to do. They are liers and very UNFRIENDLY, I would not recommend ever.
The property was centrally located in historic downtown Guatemala City. The shower was clogged and I had to ask for a plunger to unclog it /-: No room service and the staff were whatever
I booked this hotel due an emergency. This is an scam, pictures are misleading and is expensive for what they offered. No hot water, dirty towels, a bathroom with roaches and an uncomfortable bed. At the reception they were unfriendly and doubtful about the booking.
The property is pretty rundown. The pools are not clean. The room I was first offered smelt like dusk and properly had not been cleaned in a while. The next room I was offered I saw what looked to be a bed bug sheddings. I left and went to another location I need a refund.
I will not recommend us please. This is because the rooms are not clean when I still there for one night it sound like it was working but they were building something 3 o’clock in the morning I couldn’t sleep at all and I had to be up by 6 o’clock to go to work so when I recommended the room for the staff were horrible.
A la cama se le salen todos los resortes, está demasiado sucio el baño donde te bañas, las almohadas están terribles muy mal servicio, el elevador no funciona jamás volvería a ese lugar

Disliked: Amenities
De entrada el personal es arrogante, habían cucharachas en el escritorio de recepción y en las habitaciónes, para el precio esta demasiado. Demasiado caro para las instalaciones y servicio que se brindó. Definitivamente si tienen oportunidad de quedarse en este lugar, no lo hagan. Mal recomendados
