Relaxing Stay with Great Food and Wine
Pros:

Overall, the Barcelo was very accommodating and pleasant. It is very close to the airport, though, traffic extended the time to reach hotel. I felt very safe at the hotel with many attendants closely monitoring the property.

Room not ready at check in time. Water not working
Pros:

This hotel came highly recommended but did not fulfill expectations. We arrived shortly before 3:00 to check in and had to wait until 4:30 at which point we were given 1 of the 2 rooms we had booked, the other took even longer to get. There was no water working in the room, so no shower, no toilet etc. when the water was turned on it was scaldingly hot, and no cold water was available. Showering was impossible. It certainly did not meet the expectations we had for a recommended hotel. The furniture was stained and the lock to the balcony was faulty.

Fanastic Place for International Visitors
Pros:

This is always my home away from home whenever I visit Guatemala. The rooms are well appointed and well maintained, food service is exceptional and the staff never fail to exude a courteous demeanor while promptly attending to requests. I highly recommend the Barcelo to anyone visiting Guatemala City.

Management Problems
Pros:

Because I was placed on a floor with about 20 under supervised teenagers, who laughed and screamed at each other in the hallways, I was switched to another room at 11:15 at night. It took nearly an hour to be changed and the response of the employees at reception was indifference. On this same trip, I stayed at the Tikal Futura without incident and with employees who took responsibility if any issue occurred. I was deeply disappointed and was offered, at best, a tepid apology. There is a deep management and training issue at the hotel. Hospitality is really not the hotel's strong point.
