"When we arrived in Panajachel, we were a bit scared as the street, where this hotel is located, is busy, but then we entered a quiet patio full of plants where it was calm and quiet."

"The rooms are pretty small - but its quiet (at least the rooms at the back were), beds were comfortable, wifi was good, hot water (in both shower and basin) and all for a very very reasonable price."

“In the heart of the action, this place offers a superb price/quality ratio. Sure, rooms might be on the smaller side, but the mountain views and garden patios more than compensate. Plus, the staff's kindness and the resident dog create a welcoming atmosphere.”
