Iguana Azul has been voted one of the best hostels in the world....it's an almost deserved accolade. Rooms and dorms are clean with comfortable mattresses, it's quiet, there's a good sitting area, decent wi-fi, excellent hot showers and spotless toilets and lots of useful information and help to visit the ruins and other nearby attractions. Only small grumbles...why can't I... More

Perfexct place to stay. Just out of the busy part of town but walking distance (a whole 2 blocks). Large rooms, large common area and nice outdoor space. Provides lockers with locks for valuables and a security guard at night. Newer looking and a great facility. Bring soap for hand washing, the only down side.

Quiet location. A short stroll to the center down a newly paved beehive stone street. The bed was a little dusty. Advertised wifi, but did not work.

Thanks so much for your review. A couple of comments here to clarify two points you make: The month of April is known for 3 things in this part of the world; very hot temperatures w/ daytime temps typically hitting the 100F mark, a distinct lack of rain & farmers who burn their fields in preparation for the planting season...

The Iguana Azul is clean, quiet, well-maintained, with good management, and amenities. It is an ideal hostal for those looking for a place away from the nightlife of Copan without spending a lot. Highly recommended!

Nice clean place run by an expat from New York. My favorite part is it is close to the center of town (about 4 blocks from the plaza) but not in the center so it is quiet. The room was cheap and clean and they were very accomodating to us. We booked only the night before and they were not... More

We spent our Christmas holidays here and it was great. The hostel was really well maintained. Location was just off the busy streets. The host was friendly.

We landed at Iguana Azul for a few days while visiting Copan Ruinas. It was clean, accessible, easy. Lots of interesting people staying there.

I travel to Copan often for work, more than 20 trips to date. And if I am only in for a few days or weeks I stay here. Here is why, Iguana Azul, is the best hostel in town in my opinion. It is the cleanest, most quiet, and best furnished. The windows are covered by bars so guests feel... More

Never ever again! We got kicked out of our room because they took a reservation from other guys without telling us. They were just money orientated and very patronizing.. Rooms clean, but small. Toilets and showers outside the house. I cannot recommend it anyhow especially after they treat their guests like idiots and make you feel very uncomfortable and not... More

I would like to set the record straight for this review: 1- Upon check in, the guests did not tell us the exact number of nights they required in Iguana Azul. This is quite common, as many hostel guests arrive with a flexible schedule. Our policy In Iguana Azul is to always try to accomodate our guests flexibility in schedule.... More

We stayed here for two nights - quaint little hostel, well located near the centre. About 20 mins walk from the ruins. Really clean, spacious rooms with hot showers on offer. No kitchen and small chill-out area with little book exchange on offer. Loads of information available on Copan and other destinations. Staff really friendly, rates were reasonable.
