“It will do for a night or two”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I was there early Nov 2009 (not in Feb 2011!!) for an overnight stay. I was there with a large group (40+) and the hotelier accommodated us after some negotiation on price and availability.

There are large rooms with triple decker bunks, or private rooms with tv, washroom, and anywhere from 1-3 beds. I can't recall if there was a/c.

The owner (his name escapes me) was very friendly and spoke just enough english to make things work. There was wifi, although I can't recall if I had to pay. If I did, it was no more than $1/hour, like it was in most of Guatemala.

Location wasn't really much of a concern since we were there only for the hour, but it wasn't very far from the TICA bus station.

The roof deck with hammocks is a nice touch if it's not too hot to be outside (like early evenings).

Room Tip: Bathrooms are in a shared hallway on the 2nd floor, so if that bothers you, choose rooms at the back...

“great value for money & very nice staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2011

The hostel is close to the airport. If you take a taxi from the bus station, be aware that it will cost you around ten dollars. The hotel is very nice though. It is great value and the owners are extremely nice. They would do anything to make my stay comfortable and gave me great advices for my travels in Guatemala. I enjoyed the stay and would recommend Casa Santorini.

“great value and super nice staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2011

Fast WiFi and delicious food. I recommend the chicken sandwich. Spent a couple hours each day (of a 4-day stay) exploring the surrounding neighborhoods on foot and felt perfectly safe, even at night. While checking out I said I was planning to walk to the airport but instead the manager offered to drive me. All in all a lovely place to stay and a very fair price.

“Comfortable and friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2010

I really enjoyed my stay in Casa Santorini. Someone complained about cold showers but that is not true, in the hotel room that we took, the water was hot. The size of the hotel rooms are not small, they are normal and very comfortable even with two beds (one small and one queen). The washroom is big too.

In that hotel, they also have a hostel, and in the hostel the rooms are different but that is normal since it is a hostel. However the hotel rooms are comfortable. The bed sheets are great and comfortable. We once asked them to clean them and not only did they clean them but gave us different ones that looked very good. They clean very well our rooms every day.

The breakfast in the morning is our choice, they prepare it for us and serve it to us, it is very good. (And it comes with free breakfast). The price was great for us because we could not find another hotel which offered free breakfast and free shuttle service to the airport, free Wi-fi (wireless internet) along with free use of the computers, and free water. (There is also a main fridge where we can put our food for the next days, and also a microwave and a coffee maker).

The staff is very friendly and served us very well. The owner speaks English so that was positive for us.

It's near to the airport so it is very suitable for a traveler. I did have a car so I parked it safely in their garage.

“Ground floor rooms suffer from loud buzzer and/or mold smell”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2010

Don't fall for the fast talk of the enthusiastic English speaking promoter/driver of this place who tries to lure arriving passengers at GUA Aurora Airport to this place - he promised higher floor rooms that were not delivered. The staff gave us the pick of 3 ground floor rooms - two back rooms reeked of mold and were small, and the larger room next to the check in desk is as noisy as can be, because the buzzer to attract staff to come to the security gate is as loud as can be, periodically going off through the night. If you want to pay with credit card, they charge 10% extra. Proximity to the airport is handy as is the free shuttle to/from GUA. It is more of a hostel than a hotel.
