It’s an original hotel from the 60’s
Famous actors including Ronald Reagan, stayed there
Cantinflas, Capulina
Located in heart of Guatemala where the original buildings and cathedral stand
Original stairway,, it’s unique,
Nice dining room 10 minutes away from modern dining,, DENNYS restaurant
Atmosphere is very quaint like going back in time
If you’re the adventurous person it’s worth the stay
If you’re wife isn’t well the room ceilings are 10’ high
Back to the future
ENJOY WE SURE DID!! Another world

Great pool and comfortable rooms. This was five star hotel maybe in the early 1900s. Architecturally unique. Art deco trim. Decent restaurant and outstanding staff. Great location one block from street promenade. Walk to museums and galleries. Metro nearby. It is a solid three star.

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 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 woke up in the middle of night and found bed bugs!! There were a lot of them and full of blood, the most disguisting thing ever, I was horrified!! When I went to talk to receptionist (I didn't know the word in Spanish) but he understood immediatelly what I was talking about and said some rooms have it and that he will come and see. Which of course he didn't! So after I went again he said they can change our room tomorrow and only after I insisted he gave us the new room that he said it's clean. So obviously they are aware of this problem!! The room was moldy and smelled weird and generally whole place seems dirty. We went to see the pool and it was full of leaves and dirt and there were huge cockroaches runing in the corridors... We left tomorrow even though we paid for another night, they didn't offer to return us some money or anything but we just wanted to leave that place!!
