I travel to Copan often for work, more than 20 trips to date. And if I am only in for a few days or weeks I stay here. Here is why, Iguana Azul, is the best hostel in town in my opinion. It is the cleanest, most quiet, and best furnished. The windows are covered by bars so guests feel... More

Never ever again! We got kicked out of our room because they took a reservation from other guys without telling us. They were just money orientated and very patronizing.. Rooms clean, but small. Toilets and showers outside the house. I cannot recommend it anyhow especially after they treat their guests like idiots and make you feel very uncomfortable and not... More

I would like to set the record straight for this review: 1- Upon check in, the guests did not tell us the exact number of nights they required in Iguana Azul. This is quite common, as many hostel guests arrive with a flexible schedule. Our policy In Iguana Azul is to always try to accomodate our guests flexibility in schedule.... More

We stayed here for two nights - quaint little hostel, well located near the centre. About 20 mins walk from the ruins. Really clean, spacious rooms with hot showers on offer. No kitchen and small chill-out area with little book exchange on offer. Loads of information available on Copan and other destinations. Staff really friendly, rates were reasonable. More

We had a great 2 night stay. The room was immaculate and gets cleaned daily. There is a little common area with info and books. My husband and I stayed in a private bedroom with shared bathroom/shower. It was our first stay in Honduras and was one of the best!!! More

We highly enjoyed our stay at the Iguana Azul. Very clean and wonderful layout; however we definitely didn't feel very welcomed by the host. In fact we felt we were a bother. If it hadn't been for the cold reception, I would have given this hostel at least 4 stars but unfortunately this left us with a bad taste. Wifi... More

Thanks so much for your review. We're glad to hear you liked the cleanliness & layout of Iguana Azul. Regarding the WIFI, during the time you were here, our router was experiencing problems - the next day we replaced our router with a brand new one. In terms of your request to use the wireless in the hotel next door,... More

Stayed for several nights during a conference in Copan. The staff keep the shared bathrooms clean all day long. Fantastic hostel for backpackers, travelers, volunteers, etc. The place is located a few blocks away from the center, but this is actually a great thing since you get to see the less-touristy side of Copan when going to and from the...

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay here. The hostel is clean and has excellent showers. We also appreciated the drinking water. The common area is quite small and it wasn't a very social hostel. During the day you have to get the key for the front door from the B&B next door but it is very secure and they... More

This hostel is comfy, clean, has free and plentiful water, and is a short walk to the town center. The owners are also super well versed in the restaurants and things to do in the area and happy to answer questions. Highly recommend! More

This is one of the better hostels I´ve stayed in. Great decor. Clean rooms. Showers, bathrooms, and sinks shared between all guests, but all in spotless condition. Information inside about the best deals, meals, and activities in town is very helpful. Staff next door at the Casa de Cafe helpful as well. Very secure with a guard on watch from... More
