Great place! The staff was friendly and helpful. Fresh coffee offered all day, free breakfast. Very clean neat place to stay: lots of cool trinkets, paintings and interesting decorations. Soft sheets, clean bathrooms, great shower, open air terrace. The very friendly owners will take you in their car to the airport, which only takes about 5 minutes. The one drawback is that it is a bit removed from the rest of the city. We were just there for our last night in the city so it was perfect.

For an aviation fanatic like me, this home of a retired air force pilot felt like a home away from home. The home itself is lovely - marbled floors and clean rooms - and the staff were extremely helpful. We had a bit of difficulty locating the place since it is in a guarded air force residential area, but once there we enjoyed our stay.

Really close to the airport and the owners drove us in the middle of the night to the airport! Great service! Very clean place with a roof terrace.

We chose to stay here because we were arriving late in the evening at the Guatemala airport, and didn't want to have to travel into the city after a long day of flights. We were picked up at the airport, brought to a local restaurant for food and then brought back to a clean and comfortable home stay. Breakfast the next day was great, and we were even driven back to the airport so we could arrange transport to Antigua. They went out of their way for us multiple times in our short 12 hr stay.

Although we only stayed one night while passing through Guatemala City, this place was amazing! Jeanette and Fernando were so helpful with lots of good tips. The breakfast was also excellent. We would definitely recommend staying here!

It is very good and convenient if you have an early flight from Guatemala airport and just need to spent a night near. Very clean, friendly staff, small local style breakfast is included and they will bring you to the airport at any time! When I was there the hot water did not work at 5 in the morning but that may have been an exception.

We were pleased with the accomodations and the freindly helpfull owners. However, we expected to pay the price quoted and were charged about $34 vs. the &27 quoted. The $34 is just going from memory. suggest accurate info be given. Overall a good experience.

Mariana and her husband and staff were very helpful as we started our trip in Guatemala. I would highly recommend them as a good, warm base for traveling.

This hotel is by far the nicest hotel we have stayed in our entire Central America trip. The owner is very nice to offer free airport transportation, as the place is just 5 mins away from the airport. The hotel is more like a home stay, with a lot of personal attention. I was especially fascinated with the model houses and miniature christmas village the owner built. The room is spotlessly clean and spacious, breakfast is included, location is not too far from Zona Viva. Great place!

Owner Comment (Show)
I am sorry you say is a poor attitude from the staff if you remember our web page says that we pick up passengers only from the International airport. As a courtesy to you, and because the taxi driver who brought you to the Hotel did not know how to get her , we agree to pick you up close to the airport if he take you there, and my husband went to pick you up from the airport even that it was not our duty, I am truly regret that your driver has not known anything about Guatemala, but were busy picking up our passengers from the airport, and we could not go across all Guatemala city to find you, unfortunately your taxi driver did not know how to find anything in Guatemala city and he could not even locate the airport, but although that we did not have any obligation to pick you up because you were coming by your own, because we pick up only from the International airport, my husband did go to the airport when at least the taxi driver find it and pick you up, we are sorry you had such a bad impression, but it's not our fault that You found a taxi driver so disoriented and did not know even the airport, our hotel is very easy to find . I regret that we have not been able to please you, but I think that we did things beyond our obligation to serve you.

A lovely idiosyncratic family home. I much appreciated being met at the airport and taken in the morning... and really enjoyed the bath!!

Exactly what we were looking for to help us on our way. Don Fernando picked us up at the airport and took us directly to the hostel ( no extra cost ). Big room, nice beds, clean place,good staff, great breakfast. Certainly a fair price for the offer. Highly reccomended if you are flying in late in the day or flying out early in the morning.
