to get started.

We were able to book a shuttle and transportation easily directly at the reception and the staff was helpfull with it. It was convenient for our only night in Coban and it’s not far from a coffee plantation (around 15 minutes in taxi).

I loved the attention of the staff, the location and the price. Is a very comfort place to spend a night or two, excelent for those who look for a cheap vacation. The private room was very clean and offers tv, bathroom. Even though we did not use the kitchen, seems like a very nice option to gather and save a little money.

Great hostel. Bedroom was spacious with two single beds. It was very clean and quiet-we slept well. The shared bathroom was fine-there was hot water in the shower as long as you don`t have it turned on fully. It was also clean. We did not use the shared kitchen but it looked good-with all the facilities you would expect. The wifi was good. the staff were very helpful and friendly. We used the parking space outside which had no height restriction. Great value for money. Only a very short walk into town.

The staff at Casatenango were so helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed having a nice big kitchen to cook in and talking to staff and other travelers in the common spaces. The staff gave gave us detailed information on where to go and how to connect via public transportation to our next desination. We booked a private room, which was enormous with lots of places to store belongings. Great location near the market, square and church where many festivities were happening.

A good, cheap and basic place to stop for a night before continuing to Lanquín.

Very simple rooms. The city was not very appealing. Ok to stay here if you have an early flight the next day, otherwise there is no point.
Super friendly and helpful staff! Cute balcony over the river.

The thing that bothered us most (besides the windowless room, the plastic covered matress, the reeking toilet and the loud music at 7.30am) was the fact that they mixed up our reservation and got a room with two singles instead of one double bed, that we still payed the price of the double and got no sorry from the grumpy staffmember.
There was a hot shower, the location was nice (in between a lot of restaurants and an atm). Possibility to book shuttles (though the shuttle that we wanted was fully booked: pro tip, go to Lanquin with local transport, the minibusses are cheap, easy to find on maps.me and you don't have to wake up early to get the shuttle at 7am)

Even when we asked for the private room, the private bathroom is exactly next to a shared bathroom so you can hear some noises. I would expect that the bathroon were more clean, particulary the bath courtains and more neat toilet, but it worked. Its ok to visit. A chance for improve to the hotel manager.

Upon checking in the person at the counter wasn't there and we had to wait. Then he appeared and was listening to music and seemed disinterested in us. He was unaware of the reservation we had made. The room we had booked wasn't the one they gave us. The sheets smelled gross, there wasn't enough toilet paper in the bathroom, the floor was dirty and had hair on it. There is a lot of noise from the street including roosters that start to crow at 5 am. The kitchen is a real mess and absolutely disgusting, especially the fridge. It seems as though the staff just don't care about this place or the guests at all.
I liked the location, walking distance to the town center and nearby restaurants. The rooftop is potentially nice but it seems like they only use it to hang up bed sheets and towels to dry, which is a pity because they could place some chairs and a table there instead.
