good staff. good location

Special mention to the front desk person Sandy. She really helped me out with flight changes, went above and beyond. The room was nice, sharing one bathroom with 6 people it was quite dirty but once the cleaners came through it was fine. great location and if you aren't there in the morning for breakfast they make a sandwich for you to take with you.

A great hostel with a gorgeous little swimming pool, amazing staff, clean hot running water, a/c, free breakfast. Modern, Just such a shame about the noise from the local club, if you're up for 3am for a sunrise tour at tikal expect little sleep

Amazing hostel if only.........

The hostel would be amazing place to stay, great staff , amazing location, beautiful views, decent breakfast, clean rooms and bathrooms with hotwater. if it wasn't for the noise from the club down the road it's so loud that it's a constant thumping til 1am every night even with ear plugs I found very difficult to get any sleep, plus the heat is very uncomfortable. In the dorms the A/c is on from 8pm

Good place to stay

I spent a night in Flores before traveling to Tikal, so I’m basing this of one night. I rented a hostel for 5 and were given a room with six beds. I was a bit skeptic at first since I read there was no AC, but our hostel had one and we had no issues with it so that was great. The location was perfect and we were given a complimentary breakfast which was tasty. I have no complaints other than them asking 100Q for a key and 10Q per towels which we were not informed about. This part was a bit of an inconvenience as we had no money and couldn’t pay with my card. I had to go to a atm which wasn’t far, but I wish they would’ve told me about it in advance. Other than that the location, atmosphere, and food was good. Would definitely stay here again.

Great, affordable dorms!

My son and I stayed only one night in the shared dorm and it was great. Very clean and super comfortable beds with convenient outlets and personal reading lights in each bunk. The location is great right on the main water front walk. The patio is lovely to drink a cold beer or frozen drink while checking out the water and the scene walking past. I would recommend staying. The food was a bit expensive but you get a lot. I would not recommend the pasta go for the tacos instead.

The 6 bed dorm room was okay but with no window in the room. Extra toilets in hallway, breakfast was included in the rate I had which was good. Had a light and electrical plugs at each bed. But the could add curtains around the beds for more privacy.

Great little hotel center of town

As I stayed way over my intentions because of a knee injury I was able to really enjoy this pleasant hotel. Having a nice two dorms for the budget traveler makes it all the better. Usually I pass thru Flores with only a short stay this time inwas here for nearly a week. The staff are wonderful the place is clean and rooms quite comfortable. All in all this is my hotel of choice when passing thru Flores.
