Hotels near Reserva Ecológica La Ardilla (Zona 15), Guatemala City

The hotel itself is fine, reasonably close to the airport; this is essential due to the horrific traffic during rush hours in this overcrowded city. But Do Not Eat here. Their restaurant is likely to become known as Worst Western Plus soon. With a limited menu, you'd think their cooks could handle the entrees, but that is not the case--they are incompetent and amateurish at best. We attempted to order pizzas but after a few minutes were told we'd have to wait 2 hours since the oven was broken. So we ordered some pasta entrees listed, and were served inaccurate items and very poorly prepared food. Stay here if you want, but eat at one of the nearby chain restaurants instead. The Best Western chain will truly be ashamed if they check out their restaurant on this property.

This is my Third Time i Say in this Hotel, The Hotel is very safe. The staffs are very courteous, They Speak good English and they help you out of the way, a special Tanks to Yaquelyn and Mr Edwin in the Front office. The Rooms are very specious clean, the beds are very conformable and the best city view from the Balcony. The breakfast is good for Latin American people i guess, i come from Asia, but they make good Spanish Omelet, so nothing much to complain, I will recommend this Hotel, its reasonable priced, spacious rooms, nice cozy sofa and bed, nice view, and you can get everything in walking distance, there is a Burger King Just Opp to the Hotel 20 Meters, Nice Hotels around, Like Del GeeGo, 20 Meters to the left, PF Chang etc.

Cleaning begins when guests check in. Ask guests to wait at the front desk for the normal time when checking in. The first room I was given was outside the window in a narrow inner courtyard with poor air circulation and sight lines... Needless to say, I went to the front desk to change rooms. The other female leader at the front desk was more enthusiastic and more enthusiastic than the first female staff member. Much better, but still waiting for the room to be ready before check-in. My check-in time was nearly 8pm. I want to ask: Does a five-star hotel not clean the room in the afternoon? Do you have to wait until guests arrive to clean?

The bathroom has no facilities for flushing the feet. It is very inconvenient when you don't want to wash your feet; the hotel breakfast service can be, and you will take the initiative to deliver coffee to you.

I arrived on September 17th 1:12 pm to check in to this hotel. The receptionist guy said check in was not until 3:00pm. I could have sworn I saw something on the hotels.com website that said there was a 2 hour early check in option. Pretty sure I chose it. Not sure how it didn't register. So I decided to check out the restaurant. I sat down and was greeted but a waiter. He said, we have great buffet with bla bla bla bla” I can't remember but he was REALLY trying to sell it. So I took a look at the buffet. It looked alright. There was no price visible anywhere so I didn't know how much it was. I asked the waiter and he told me to wait. He went to some room to get a scratch piece of paper. He wrote the price on the paper. It was kinda vague and his hand writing was strange. I had to ask him 3 times to clarify the price. He finally said “$34 for the lunch buffet”..... I immediately grabbed my bags and walked out. I've been all over the world and can't remember paying anywhere near that much for a lunch buffet. Not even in Europe. Around 3:00pm I was given my room key and room number. Took the elevator to room 802. It was a pretty nice room overall. The refrigerator didn't work though. Later on that night I asked some receptionist guy if I could get my refrigerator replaced. He said he would make a note of it and first thing in the morning it would be replaced. It wasn't. Around noon time the next day I went down the reception and asked a lady if she had any notes about someone needing a refrigerator replaced. Instead of answering my question she asked what my room number was. I again asked her if the receptionist guy from last night passed on the information. She again wouldn't answer and kept asking for my room number. This went on about 3 minutes or so. She then asked my name. I told her. She used this to find my room number. Still no answers about why I still had no replacement refrigerator and if any info was passed on from last night. She said I would get a replacement refrigerator soon. I didn't. Around 4:00pm I heard some cleaning ladies in the hall. I told her my refrigerator didn't work and asked them if I could get one from a near by room. She said, “OK sure”. She even carried it to my room as I grabbed the broke one and placed it in the hall. So in short... The receptionists suck at this hotel. Bathroom: Its pretty nice. The ventilation fan didn't work though. Gym: It's pretty darn good. Only thing missing was a flat bench press. There is a 45lbs bar laying on the floor though. So I am guessing this gym did have one at some point in time. The gym closes at 9:00pm. Which is still better than the Grand Tikal Futura which closes at 7:30pm. WiFi: It was good overall. It has that quirky log in system though. So after a minute of so of no activity on your smart phone it will disconnect. And you have the repeat the process over again. Breakfast: Overall it's pretty good. No buffet. Just

I loved my hotel room. The hotel staff were friendly but the restaurant staff were not very friendly. The pool was nice but could be cleaner. Nice neighborhood with lots of food options nearby. Super close to airport. Don't take the hotel shuttle though. I paid for shuttle and they just called me an Uber! I could have saved 20 bucks.

I think it's an excellent place, with a good location very accessible and very friendly staff and support you in any inconvenience you have

I was unable to get in the security gate for the neighborhood giving only the hotels name and street address, but as I had a local phone, I called the property and they gave the street address with number of address (20-50 added to Diagonal 26, along with hotel name), and security let us in. Arriving a few minutes later, the taxi left, and I rolled my luggage to a locked door at the address and pushed the buzzer...nothing. I pushed the other buzzer with a individual's name...nothing. Buzzed again....nothing. Luckily (again) I had my phone and called the hotel where the offsite worker asked if I had pressed the buzzer, then said they would have the assistant open the door for me. A few minutes later, I was met and ushered in, and when shown to my room was not provided a key. The room locks from inside, so that was fine. I believe the nearly empty hotel had a staffing issue at this time and the friendly, helpful, courteous person helping was not a regular check-in employee, , accounting for all of the above issues. After settling in, the room was spotlessly clean, spacious, great views of the mountainside, quiet, SOOOOO very close to the airport, had breakfast available for a small fee, free airport shuttle was perfectly on time. I would stay here again.

Great little place! Not much to look at on the outside, but once inside, it's all you need! Clean bed, en suite shower, toilet and sink and TV. It comes with Netflix and WiFi. Corner stores for sodas/snacks, with restaurants and shopping a few blocks away. This is in Zona 1, which is being ”reinvented.” Not the best, not the worst area. Staff were super nice. 15 minutes from the airport. I would stay here again! Gracias por todo!

Great service, Freddy and jaisel helped us marvelously! Food and service always great. We love to come and know that the menu is always going to be high-end and also the service is phenomenal. We prefer to stay in this hotel, not only for the room rooms but also for the service and the food in the restaurant Hibiscus!
