This charming hotel is in the heart of Zona Viva in Guatemala city. Within walking distance to the most expensive hotels in Guatemala like the Camino Real where you can treat yourself to a faboulous breakfast, Guatemalan or German style. The best is the price which in high season doesn't go up to more than $60.00 a night. Impecable wooden floors constantly being cared for. No frills, just a wholesome breakfast with the typical Guatemalan dishes such as black beans, fresh fruit cereal eggs and good coffee.. The staff is nice and friendly, rooms are clean and comfortable. 10 minutes from the Aurora airport.
I stayed there for christmas two years in a row and I don't have any complaints.

Our room must have been done over recently as it was actually quite elegant for a hotel in this price range. The location was convenient to the airport and was safe. The staff were very helpful to us....two very old ladies. The breakfast which had juice, fruit, yogurt, omelet, bread, sweet rolls and coffee or tea was far from the contnental breakfast that was promised. The only criticism I have of the hotel is that there was no purified water in the room though it could be purchased from a machine in the lobby. I don't think the hotel can be beat in this price range.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Best Western Stofella during December 2007. The hotel was located in Zone 10 (or Zona Viva). According to several travel books and websites, Zone 10 was the safest and very tourist-friendly.

Overrall, the hotel was quite charming but not without its issues. The room was simple and pretty nondescript. However, every morning we were awakened by incessant hammering, as construction was underway.

The hotel staff was somewhat helpful. But on the last day, I was a little disturbed that we had to pay $33 for an additional 2 hours. We needed extra time since our flight was in the late afternoon. The hotel's regular nightly rate was $55. I thought this was a bit excessive.

I felt safe in Zone 10 and the hotel was reasonably priced, especially considering it's immediate competition.

I loved the location of this hotel and the staff. We stayed at the Grand Tikal for 2 nights in September, and I actually prefer the Best Western. The only negative is the rooms are not as spacious as the GT and they only serve a continental breakfast; there is no restaurant in this hotel. However, Applebee's and McDonald's are immediately to the right of the hotel, and TGIF's to the left. A convenience store is across the street, and a mall is about two blocks away. The staff was definitely more helpful here. At the GT, we would stand there obviously looking lost and would stand at the desk waiting for someone to help us, and neither the front desk or bellhops said a word to us. I thought this was odd because every other review in the Yahoo group I belong to raves about the helpfulness of the staff, but I never experienced it. The rooms are always $50 p/night, approximately $79 w/tax. I did follow the advice of an earlier poster and called the hotel directly instead of booking on the website. Hope this helps!
