This hotel has it all (except a pool) - why pay double for El Elvir? Good location, easy walk to the plaza and the church; reasonable prices (we paid about $30 for a room with a queen and a standard bed); typical breakfast in their attractive dining room included; comfortable rooms with free wifi and all the hot water you could need; and a helpful, friendly staff. And yes, they DO accept credit cards.
Spent one night in blanco nieve, don't recommend. It's filthy. Then came here and it's the total opposite. Working tv and wifi that works when your in your own very clean room. Very friendly and helpful staff, bearing in mind I no hablar espanol. I initially planned to stay for 3 days but got so used to the luxery ended up staying 7 nights. Sorry Copan ruins but a nice clean comfortable bed without having to use my sleeping bag or having to light the autan to fend of the mozzy's (didnt get one bite the whole week) beats pottering around some old ruins, plus I needed a treat. However there is a price to pay and it's not the cost (£75 for the week, bargain), it's kinda open plan. A balcony at either end of two corridors where the rooms are, overlooks the road and I think the hotel keeps a couple of chickens so it can get a bit noisey. My room was the furthest from the balcony but I could still hear the music, traffic and chickens as if my door was ajar. But for me that was a small price to pay.
