We actually had a terrible experience in Puerto Barrios. It was just a stepping off point for us to get to Belize. So we thought just one night here would be ok. Just minutes after we stepped off the bus and were walking the 3 blocks to this hotel we were robbed (at noon!) Please be careful walking around this... More

we stayed for two nights since p.barrios was where we arrived in guatemala coming from germany by boat. so we were glad to have an ok. hotel for that price, with a fine seaview (in the pool-outdoor-restaurant area) with a neat pool which was at the time of our visit clean. the building itself is all-original from about 1 century...

My girlfriend and I stayed here while backpacking and found it in a Lonely Planet guide book. It was a great with tons of character and charm. The staff was very nice and took great care if us. We stayed here for 1 night and also ate in their restaurant which was fabulous! They have internet access for free too!... More

It's been there since 1896, so expect a bit of decay, but covered with enough layers of paint to distract you briefly.

But I found it and am glad I did. You have a choice of the atmospheric old section overlooking the sea (and about ready to... More

This hotel is a treasure that's somewhat decayed. Walking on the sagging floors and stairways is like the fun house at the state fair. Our family loved it. Although we stayed in the newer wing, the mattresses were way too soft and the power kept going out, shutting off the air conditioning. The old dining room is elegant, with waiters... More

Hotel Del Norte is a classic old wooden structure near the fruit company pier in Puerto Barrios. While the streets are busy with trucks moving containers to the shipyard cranes, it's peaceful and laid-back within the gated complex. There is a nice pool area surrounded by shaded cabanas and tables with food and drink service from the hotel restaurant. The... More

Hotel del Norte Was the only reason why we went to Puerto Barrios which was a 100 km d tour but it was absolutely worth it! You would only go there for the building, over a 100 years old, the waiters, once discribed as that the 2 of them were there as the hotel opened in 1892, the rooms on... More
