We loved the convenient location. The shared kitchen/sitting area was spacious and well set up to accommodate guests. The staff was friendly. Our only suggestion is that the beds could be improved.

We stayed here and did two of the Maya Walk tours. It’s very close to the pickuo point. It’s an Inexpensive, unassuming, tidy and comfortable place. Hugo was present all the time to answer questions or open a door for me. The rooms are air conditioned but not the common areas. The shared kitchen was basic but had everything I needed including a coffee maker, stove and fridge. The price is right. Don’t hesitate.

Top choice for a few days in San Ignacio.

Great option for travelers staying in San Ignacio for a couple of days: just enough comfort, easy access for most services, A/C, etc.

This property was close to downtown and the places I wanted to go. The owner was nice and helpful, and the kitchen was great! Shower could have used a deep cleaning, but other than that, I was very happy with the guest house!

Good Value and Quite, downtown San Ignacio

So really, I should give this place a 10/10, if your looking for a budget place downtown San Ignacio, but it is extremely quite, great location, use of the kitchen , on the other side, not a 3 star place, a bit tired looking, almost has a hostel feel but private bathrooms, and beds where descent....good value, would go back, but not for my honeymoon...

Western Guest House

The Western Guest House was a decent budget hotel. It was an easy walk for the place where our bus dropped us off (Belize City Water Taxi to San Ignacio Shuttle Bus) and to the main bus station in town. Upon arrival there the door to the entrance was locked but it was not long before the manager happened to open it, just about at the same time my companion made a call to him from a near by shop. Once the entry/exit procedures were outlined our stay went quite well. The room was not very large and the bathroom was small and fairly clean (there were a couple of large beetles in the shower drain at night but nothing was noticed elsewhere). There was a communal kitchen which we used for breakfast and storing drinks and snacks in the refrigerator. The hotel has a small deck overlooking the street. The location was good, it was right on the edge of the main down town area and easy walking to restaurants, shops, bus, tour operators and the local sites. Good value for the money, cleanliness, housekeeping were reasonable, the location very good, the manager provided good service.

Jättemysigt guesthouse som ligger några hundra meter från centrum. Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal som hjälpte oss boka utflykter. Stort gemensamt kök där det mesta fanns. Mysig veranda med hammock. San Ignacio är en liten stad och man tog sig lätt överallt, även om det var en svettig promenad upp till majaruinerna. ATM var fantastisk. Bor här gärna igen
