We moved here after staying at another hotel which was double the price and we were pleasantly surprised. Wifi, comfortable rooms, great location and friendly helpful staff at the front desk. Don't expect the chocolate on the pillow, grand service but this place gave us exactly what a expect for this unique city.

We stayed two nights in the Villa Real Plaza. We were visiting a friend completing an internship in Xela. The rooms are not very modern, and yes, the you can hear everything in the place (people talking, people walking by). However, the location is amazing, there is a certain Guatemala charm to the place, and you can't beat the price... More

I had been wanting to try this hotel after several visits to Xela. I was sadly disappointed by the entire experience. Cheap "suicide showers" which barely works in some rooms, and not at all in others, bright hall lights which shine into the rooms through the glass room doors, noisy hallways, and poor service. Perhaps if they acted like they... More

This was our second option after we left Hotel Modelo and it was one of our worst night over all.....thanks to this kind of hotels they don't attract tourist, we left for Panajachel where we can find a nice hotel with nicer people.

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Villa Real on February 12, 2009. The location is great — across the street from the central park. We stayed in the old part of the hotel (room #212) . The room was clean, but did smell a little old and musty. The window opened to the common area below. With the window... More

This is a great place if you're planning on visiting Xelaju. It is more affordable than La Posada de Don Rodrigo and it offers more conveniences (free parking). Parking is in a closed garage which adds peace of mind about your vehicle. It's location is excellent (right downtown), the service staff was friendly and the room was spacious and comfortable....

Don't even consider this place. It's old, noisy, ugly, furnishings are horrid. We booked 3 nights but left after one night - and that was one too many. There are plenty of other hotels to choose from. Ann Orchard Park, NY

We stayed at the Villa real for our first night in Xela. The room was clean and attractive, but I wasn't able to sleep more than a few hours. You could hear every sound from the hall as people walked and talked and from the common area downstairs, including the clanking of silverware as the staff set tables. I think... More

My mom, three kids and I stayed here for the month of July while we studied Spanish in Xela. We had a two-room, one-bath suite with a balcony. It was great to watch all the action of the central town square from our room. We saw parades, saint processions and funerals from there. The rooms were huge. They are a... More
