Community room has lots of info about local things to do, and a big fridge. Next door at their sister hotel (La Casa de Café) breakfast was large, fresh, and tasty, plus they had a menu for later in the day. Located just a few blocks from the lovely Central Park. ##### MARK Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 25 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities An exceptionally nice guesthouse, with low prices, good security, and very helpful staff! ##### David ### 10/10 Excellent #### Herman 20 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Bright, quiet rooms. Nice view from terrace. Great coffee to start the morning with exceptional service. Nicely planted garden with tables. Easy walk into town. ##### Herman Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pati 1 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were a group of 9, and the dorm rooms worked out great. I liked the way the showers and toilets were situated. Each one private. With a nice area where you could do laundry and wash your hands. The restaurant and sitting room next door were nice.The view from the eating area was beautiful view of the mountains overlooking the canyon. ##### Pati Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lena 22 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tiny loft studio is an adventure The Studio was very clean and cute. It was fun to stay in the loft and very nice to have our own kitchen and living area. The mattress was very comfortable, even though it was an adventure to reach it. 😊 The couch could have been a little bigger and more comfortable. It would have been nice to have slightly more privacy when it came to the toilet. It is very strange to have the toilet so close to the kitchen. ##### Lena Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ernesto 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Ernesto Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 20 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A Good Place to Stay A great place to stay in Copan Ruinas. The owners take great care of their guests and in their properties. The hostel was well maintained with four private rooms and two six bed dorms, giving guests a chance to meet other travellers. The shared baths (3) and showers (3) were very clean. The private room itself was very nice, providing a cool place to rest in the evening after a very hot afternoon visiting the ruins. The staff also provided daily cleaning of the room. Next door at the guest house (owned by the same couple), guests could have reasonably priced meals. I had the "big breakfast" each morning which included a nice plate of fresh fruit and free refills of coffee. ##### Michael Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### bernard 27 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### bernard Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 26 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Awesome stay.

Initially trying to just drive us away. The entire town was full and this was the last one we found. The front desk was claiming not able to speak English thus refused to communicate. Pushed them to find one available for us which was claimed newer with air conditioning at a higher rate. When we arrived the one, Beracah, they reserved, the staffs there responded not there but pulled us to another one, Stella Hostel, which was crappy, unclean, narrow, crowded and old (although the staff was nice). And it was another 45 minutes taken including the traffic. The condition was too terrible so we had to find another nearest available hotel half hour drive away out of town. Considering fully booked they should have closed booking on this platform yet wasting people’s efforts and time to come and to move around. Totally not qualified to be listed as an hazard to the platform. ##### Ching ### 10/10 Excellent #### Moussa 8 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property is clean, the staff are polite and attentive, the owner is helpful and friendly. ##### Moussa Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Edver Alberto 19 Aug 2022 Hellow ##### Edver Alberto Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Alicja 7 May 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice, simple hostel, within walking distance to city centre.

We then switch to two nights in the adjacent B&B because we needed more nights abs it too was wonderful. Howard, the owner is friendly and extremely helpful. His staff is wonderful. Safety cleanliness and comfort we're all perfect and the gardens and patio are beautiful! Highly recommend to all travelers and I hope to return someday. ##### Bren Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angelica 6 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent We had a very pleasant stay in Copan at this hostel.
