    Best hotel I stayed in during my 12 days in Honduras. Kind host, nice-sized room, beautiful views from the balcony, and a great location only a few minutes from the center of town.

    Overall, I was quite satisfied with my stay. If I was forced to suggest an improvement it would be to add a small table or additional shelving to the room to make it a little easier to unpack your things.

    I was concerned that this hotel may be a little far from the center of town and too far away to walk to the Copan Ruins. It turns out that the location is perfect. It is a couple of blocks from the center, but that is a good thing. The center of town is absolute chaos in the evenings with tuk-tuk's and motorbikes screaming up and down the streets. La Escalinata is located just far enough away that it is nice and peaceful at night, but close enough to the center that you can walk to the restaurants in just a few minutes. I also easily walked to the Copan ruins from the hotel in about 20 minutes. On the way back, it is uphill, but you can hire a tuk-tuk to take you back for just $1-$2 if you prefer. The air conditioning worked well and there was ample hot water for the shower. I'm not sure why, but I slept like a rock at this place! It was very quiet at night and the bed was comfortable. I was located at the back of the building and the view of the hills, jungle, and sunset in the evenings from my little attached balcony was beautiful! Finally, the kind lady who runs the hotel is a wealth of information about the area and even had good recommendations for places to visit elsewhere in Honduras. I enjoyed talking with her very much.

    Blanca, the owner of the hotel took care of her guests. She gave recommendations how we can get to and from places we want to go and visit. Breakfast was included in our stay. We did not have the same meal during our stay. We had delicious homemade and filling breakfast daily. The room was big and spacious enough for 4 people. The location of the hotel is convenient that everything in city proper is within 5-minute walking distance.

    The beds were not super comfortable, but otherwise we had no complaint that could actually be fixed by the hotel. For example, power went out city-wide the last night, which meant no A/C and no wifi. Luckily, power came on before bed, so we were able to sleep under cooler conditions, but there isn't anything the hotel could have done to prevent that. I would suggest, however, getting a back-up battery for the wifi router. My daughter would have appreciated having that to do while the electricity was out. The only other thing is that I wish the hotel was closer to downtown, but there is no way to remedy that.

    Breakfast was nice, and I'm glad it was a different menu the two mornings we spent there. Although the location was a little far from downtown, it was still within walking distance, which was nice. I also loved the balcony from the room.

    The hill you have to trudge to walk to the hotel. Balcony is very small in the room, but the view is very nice.

    Lovely checkin and the kind host waited for me on the last bus of the night! Comfortable beds and linen.

    Amazing! wonderful hotel atop hill with multi levels overlooking hilly tropical forest view with cicadas singsonging away from our private balcony. With best beds I’ve slept in for a long while woke refreshed to strong hot shower and delicious breakfasts (and strong great Honduran coffee) on the hotel patio. I did yoga in the morning in another garden area! Fast wifi. Really liked host - kind and made it look easy getting us booked to La Cieba - which was nearly impossible according to all the blogs.

    The room felt a bit small because you couldn't see the balcony door from the beds.

    The room had a great view from the small balcony. The breakfast was varied each day, the staff were available but obtrusive. Few minutes walk from the main square but nice and quiet (as is most of Copán Ruinas at night). Comfortable large beds. Fan and a/C to chose from.

    Clean, quiet and comfortable rooms. The hotel is on a small hill and our room had nice views from the small balcony. It’s within a short walking distance from the main plaza (you have to climb the hill on the way back or take a taxi).

    Copan Ruinas is a quiet town and this hotel fits in. The lady who met us was quiet but very helpful and always ready to answer our questions. The house has the most beautiful garden. The room was comfortable. Breakfast was very good. We also got a sandwich on the last day for breakfast as we had an early departure. The hotel is up a steep hill but it takes only 3-5 minutes to walk up. If you take the side road it is much less steep. The restaurants and bars are all close by.
