The cleanliness of this place was zero to none. Pretty sure the tub had not been cleaned in weeks if not months. There was rubbish and hair in the tub from the previous guests. On top of that the shower head had some sketchy power running to it that actually shocked us during a shower. The location was great and close to town but we would never stay there again. Management had zero information about the area. And above all they charged us extra because apparently "Expedia" only charged for 1 person not 2 in the one room. Would not recommend this place. Save yourselves the trouble and spend a little more cuz cheap isn't worth it here.

Where to start with this hotel experience... Our bus was delayed into Guatemala City which meant we didn't arrive at the hotel until 10pm. Luckily our taxi driver hung around and helped us find this place. There is nothing on the front of the building which identifies it as a hotel. Secondly, once they answered the doorbell they said they were full. Luckily after showing a reservation they invited us in whilst they made some calls. With 15 minutes we were being whisked away in a car to another hotel. So credit where credits due they did sort it out and ending up in the same hotel chain but closer to the historic centre. However, luckily it was late and after a near 12 hour bus we didnt care too much where we were because the room was very poor and only provided a fleece blanket as a sheet... It makes my skin crawl thinkong about it. Finally, we had a bit of time before our next transfer so we wanted to explore the city but unfortunately we werent allowed to leave our bags! Wbich really was the cherry on the cake.

El precio era bajo, pero pudo ser mejor.

Positivo: El encargado fue muy amable. Negativo: - El ingreso fue hasta las 4:30pm y no 11:30am como decía hotels.com. - La habitación estaba bien, pero la única ventana estaba en el baño. - No nos dieron jabón o shampú. - La ducha estaba en el mismo espacio que el inodoro (lo cual hacía que se mojara todo después de ducharse).

Stay at your own risk!

When a serious problem emerged, no one at Hotel Histórico took responsibility. No hotel management available. There is no visible sign on the street to indicate that this is a hotel. Stay at your own risk!

Estancias malolientes, lugubres, sucias, llenas de cucarachas. en mal estado. Ropa de cama para llorar. Me gano el asco, y tuve que salirme a buscar otro espacio.. no permaneci en el lugar lo que esperaba. Lo que si uno de los vigilantes, recepcionistas y mil usos era algo amable.
