Description
This charming bed and breakfast is the best value in this category. Located just down the street from the Church of San Francisco, this house provides a quiet option with a friendly atmosphere. The owners, who are Guatemalan, live in Guatemala City, but the staff who operate the hostel - a bit of a misnomer - speak some English and are extremely helpful. The front entrance leads to a lovely, serene courtyard with chairs set out for guests to enjoy. There is also a welcoming family room where guests can mingle or relax with a book on one of the comfortable couches.

Insider Tips
Discounts are available for longer stays.

Benefits
The best value in this category.

Lots of charm, service and tranquility, without the extra cost.

Drawbacks
This part of town is a throughway for large trucks and can be a bit loud throughout the night and early morning.

The hotel is a bit far from the town center (by far, we mean 6 blocks only) and the streets around here get fairly dark in the evening, so be careful if you are returning after dark.

There is a computer with internet access available to guests and Wi-fi for those traveling with laptops.

Rooms
One of the most charming things about this hotel is that there are only four rooms - adding to the personal atmosphere. The rooms were renovated in 2002 and are all in good condition, some with faux-exposed-brick adding character in keeping with the surrounding ruins. Each room has a private bathroom that is clean, with all the amenities (including hairdryer) and good showers. Room #4 has a bathtub with jacuzzi jets and candles laid out. There is a small cable TV in each room.

Food
Breakfast is served in the dining room according to your schedule and includes fruit, granola, yogurt and baked goods.

Although there isn't a restaurant at San Nicolas, the staff can prepare a light meal for lunch or dinner, given prior notice.

Children
Children are welcome here.

Rates
Doubles US$75, Singles US$65 (breakfast and taxes included)
