Even if you don't stay at Xibalba, I would suggest that you stay in this neighbourhood as it is the nicest in the city. Hotel Xibalba offers clean rooms and good... More

My room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The location is good for access to the town and for Palenque ruins. 10 pesos each way on a collectivo. a nice part of town as there's lots of trees, restaurants and other hotels. breakfast was fine but rather expensive for what you get. I've been travelling over 7 weeks... More

I stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Palenque. There are a couple of good restaurants nearby and the prices were decent as well. I would stay there again and recommend it to others as well. Mayaruinsonly Destination Expert - Guatemala
