Arnold's Guest House

My wife interacted with Lisa before we arrived and she booked us a tour or two and was really helpful. We were greeted by her sister Annie who is lovely and laidback. The room had two double beds which was great for the 4 of us. It was huge with a massive bathroom. We started 4 nights and would definitely come back. There’s a roof to dry your trainers after you’ve done some caving activities. There provide a nice breakfast of fresh fruit, toast and coffee/tea.

So this review it’s always related also how much you pay. For the price you get a really nice big room. Great mattress, amazing WiFi and in the city center of San Ignacio. Of course guesthouse it’s a bit old and would need a refresh but as I said for what you pay it’s a great deal.

We were here for a week & would definitely stay here again. Liza and her team are friendly and incredibly helpful. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was spotless. The furnishings are spartan but very adequate. The fridge has a freezer and we were able to make ice cubes for beverages. The drinking water with instant hot/cold options was fantastic for filling our water bottles. (24 hour access- in the hallway) The included breakfast was a great bonus. They arranged tours for us at bargain prices and all of our guides were excellent. We were picked up at the hotel. This is only a few blocks from Burns Avenue, where many of the restaurants and tourist needs are. This is a quieter location than many other guesthouses, although you can hear the church bells all over town.

Excellent location - a few steps from ATM, tour companies, and quite a few good eats. Just a bit uphill to avoid downtown noise. Also east walk to green iguana. Very caring staff. Spacious room! Their own restaurant is very reasonably priced. Don’t forget to ask them about the tours you are interested. They may be able to give you a great deal. Highly recommend!
