Fast and easy check in with exact quote from online booking and the owner even helped us carry our bags up. Clean, towels, best WIFI we had in Guatemala, hot water, drinking water available and even free coffee and tea! Outside of the downtown area (only short walk/ tuk tuk ride) so quiter. HIGHLY recommend!

Great place to stay in Panajachel
I'm really glad I stayed at Hotel El Sol. I have been to Panajachel several times, but always stayed on the main strip. I was looking for a different experience. Hotel El Sol is located in a neighborhood in Pana but outside of the touristy area. It was nice to get a look at traditional life as I would walk to and from activities. The hotel is located about a 20 minute walk away from the main strip (I'm a slow walker). Most of the time I would walk to where I was going and get a tuk tuk back to the hotel, which worked out fine (a tuk tuk ride is about $1). The room I had was spotless, cleaned daily, and very spacious. It is the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in in Guatemala (this is my 8th trip here) and is a great price. I HIGHLY recommend HOTEL EL SOL for anyone staying in Panajachel.

Great Place to Stay - a little far from everything
My husband and I spent a few nights at the Hotel El Sol. It was very nice and had a very clean bathroom and hot water in the shower, which is rare at places around Lake Atitlan. The hotel is about half an hour walk from the the lake, restaraunts and shopping district.

Stay here
Brilliant place to stay. Location is a little out of reach for town centre but the hotel provides bicycles for free rental.

I did not like that the owner charged a 10% surcharge if you used either MasterCard or Visa. I have been asked to pay 2 or 3 % on Asia but never 10%. It also states that there is a washing machine to use but when I asked to use it I was told that his wife would do my laundry and I would be charged for it. That is completely different than a small charge to use the washing machine. The bed was comfortable and the room spacious and clean. It turned out to be much farther from the main tourist area than I thought it would be.

Super comfortable and clean hotel
Perfect hotel for families. Our room was spacious, the bed super comfortable and everything was spotless. The bathroom and especially the shower were huge. Shower with hot water. Owners friendly, and there's a kitchen and dining room for us to use. Free coffee and water. They also have fishes and turtles for us to watch. Good location close to the city center. We loved our stay there and would go back there if we come back to Panajachel.

Nice hotel. Location may be an issue.
Friendly staff. Spacious, clean, comfortable rooms. Large, well-equipped communal kitchen/dining room. The hotel is located around 2km from the centre of Panajachel (a 20-minute walk or 5-minutes by tuk-tuk). Be aware (before handing over any money!) that some tour companies (e.g. Adrenalina) will not pick you up from this hotel because is it "too far" from the centre of town. You will then have to arrange your own transport (or walk) to and from the tour company's office in Panajachel.

Great couple of days in El Sol
We had a very pleasant couple of nights at El Sol, the owner was very pleasant and helpful in every direction, the hotel is just a short distance from the town Centre, which was what we wanted as it was very peaceful (apart from the local dogs) and we thoroughly enjoyed our short walks to the lake and Centre !
