Guatemala City Travel Forum

Has anyone stayed here. It is located in Zona 1 but has good reviews in travel guides...they offer airport pickup. Thanks

It looks quite nice. Zone 1 is okay in daytime and at night if you know exactly where you are going. If you are thinking of nightlife, Zone 10 is the place to go. I think if you got one of the rooms at Xamanek Student Inn you would pay a bit less and be a short walk from museums, restaurants and bars. See http://www.mayaworld.net/xamanek/index.htm

Thanks for the reply ....Zona 1 is convenient for us from the airport . We just have an overnight coming back from Tikal....we'll have the afternoon only to look around the city.

Hi there: Chenbaxaal is right. Xamanek is a better located place because is much closer to the airport and zona viva which is an area full of restaurants night life,and safe to walk around after dark.But as I understand is a place for backpackers. Their rates are pretty cheap. But there is even a better place with private baths/tv/internet. Hotel Dos Lunas which is also close to the airport for $12 a night (502)2334-5264 or 5573-0263. They offer free shuttle to and from the airport. Check it out. I've seen lots of good reviews. Good luck and happy new year.

Thanks so much for your tips. I will Check out the hotel you mentioned ,

Zone 1 is way downtown. Zones 9 and 10 are close to the airport. Dos Lunas is in a residential neighborhood with nothing near it, although you could walk back to the airport for what passes for a restaurant meal there.
