Despite 8/10 rating & relatively low price the room was unacceptable. The bed cratered into a huge dip in the very middle, collapsed top to bottom & left to right. Wall 3ft from window so no natural light. Tiny jail sink with only 1x cold tap, no hand towel - only 2 mismatched stained bigger towels. Shower dirty & sheets stained. Cockroaches at night. Reception staff very unfriendly at arrival & no acknowledgement at other times. Working AC & 50m from tour companies the only positive.

The location is great as it is close to everything in San Ignacio. Many restaurants nearby all within walking distance.
The staff was all very nice and helpful for any needs. Our room was very small, beds were very very soft.
AC was working fine.
Our only issue was the tiny bathroom.
The sink was very wobbly and every time we opened faucet the whole fixture moved with it.
The Shower area is very small and the shower head was spraying beyond the area and unto the floor of bathroom. There is hot water but it took at least 3-4 minutes minimum to arrive.
I would say for a short stay or a low price its definitely worth it.
Also the hotel is located on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the building so stairs to get to it. Nice balcony in front and back of the building.
It gets quiet relatively early at night so we had no issues with street noise.

Pros:
Budget Friendly.
Central to everything!
Their partnerships with Tukan Shuttles and Adventures plus the Midas Hotel (Pool) made creating a memorable experience almost effortless.
Staff are friendly, kind, and truly take the time to know you. I feel like I have made genuine connections.
I felt safe the entire time I was there. The front desk always has someone there 24/7 to assist you - they even lock the main entrance gate after a certain hour for extra safety (don't worry, there is always someone there to let you in of you decide to stay out and enjoy the night life).
The facilities were excellent and having laundry services and a smart TV truly made it feel like home away from home.


Cons:
It can be loud. As the hotel is on the main street, you often can hear people laughing at the bars accross the street or in the park behind. Walls are not terribly thick so you may even hear your neighbor a time or two.
The TV remote was unreliable which was a shame as the TV itself has no way of operating it without the remote (staff did happily help me every time I had an issue though!).
Some of the beds are incredibly comfortable while others are solid/ hard. I was fortunate to have 2 beds in my room to choose though which made this less of an issue and more of something to note. (The beds might not be perfect but the staff again will do whatever they can to ensure you have a comfortable stay).


Overall, I would highly recommended The Venus Hotel.10/10 would stay again!

Great location, okay experience

The location of this hotel couldn’t have been better! Extremely walkable to many restaurants and bars. The hotel itself was good—exactly what we were expecting for the price. Our general experience wasn’t the best but it was out of the hotel’s control. There were wildfires in the area in May when we went due to the drought. It was extremely smokey, and the A/C blew the smoke into the room. All of our clothes smelled of smoke after departing. I also have pretty bad allergies so the smoke affected my sinuses. Also, the lack of water in the area also caused power outages each night we were there so the AC would turn off and the room became extremely hot. thankfully, the outages didn’t last more than an hour…but it got very hot. Again, the hotel itself was good—we just visited at a bad time of the year.

The price was excellent; it was one of the only hotels in the heart of San Ignacio that offered private rooms with private bathrooms AND air conditioning at this rate.

But, if you are expecting a very nice, swanky hotel, look elsewhere. This is a perfect hotel for those who understand that Belize is about being outside and seeing the sights and the area and hanging out in the bars and restaurants that are literally right down the steps from the hotel.

If you need to be pampered and have all the comforts of home or a fancy vacation, this is not for you. It can be noisy up until 10p/11p on the weekends, but the location is prime: you are in the heart of San Ignacio, near all the best restaurants; the local daily market takes place about 500 yards away; and if you are driving in from Belize City/the airport, you do not need to wander through the VERY confusing and unmarked San Ignacio streets, as this place is located very close to the bridge.

There was a TV in the room as advertised, however, there was no remote and the staff said none of them work. I guess it was just decoration. Our room had a queen and a twin bed. Twin bed was soooo uncomfortable. The mattress had a hole in the middle I kept rolling into and then all you felt was metal springs poking you in the back all night. No sleep was had. (Room 16 - avoid the twin bed). Otherwise it was a great value for the price and I would stay there again. Just not room 16 until they replace the mattress.
