Gute, ruhige Adresse unweit vom Atitlán-See
Pros:

Ruhig, sehr nette und hilfsbereite Leute, zentral. In der Nähe gute Restaurants. Liebevoll gepflegter Hof mit Sitzgelegenheiten. Kleiner Laden mit den wichtigsten Reiseutensilien an der Rezeption.

Cons:

Es sollte an der Straße unten ein Schild zum Hotel angebracht werden.
Das Frühstück ist etwas weit weg, dafür belohnt einen dann ein sehr schönes Restaurant.
Das zunächst vergebene Zimmer hatte nicht die versprochenen 24 qm., man wechselte es und dann aber in ein größeres.
Sehr hellhörig.

Hôtel pas cher qui s il était silencieux pourrait etre agréable

La situation au fond d une impasse mal entretenue avec les chiens qui aboient et la basse cour à proximité
