“Belize on the Cheap”

The hotel, Bachelor Inn, is for the budget traverler. It's cheap enough so you can spend more money on seeing the country. The rooftop patio is really great though, and offers views of the sea, along with the daily landing of the commuter type shuttle plans to various cayes at a nearby air strip. The manager, Nancy, was very accomodating to our requests. For the time spent just showering and sleeping a few hours a night this place was great. Remember, there is only one chain hotel in the city, the Radisson, and most hotels are owned by locals. This isn't the US so adjust your "use to home" attitudes. The neighborhood was safe, with a police substation two blocks over and a bus stop at the corner of the hotel's street. All of our cab drivers knew its location and we never waited more than 10min for a cab. We met guest from Germany which made our trip that much more fun during the evening hours after our long days. There were two stores on the same street to purchase groceries, beer and other products which came in handy for our rooms had refrigs, microwave and sinks. Keep an open mind. Make do with the surroundings, and remind yourself this isn't home, but an adventure and you'll love this hotel. I'm glad I booked it. It saved me so much money that I stayed overnight on San Pedro.

“Bachelor Inn”

ok to start off with belize is a beautiful country, But belize city is a typical 3rd world impoverished city people were ok taxi drivers SCARY!!! THE CITY HAS MANY ISSUE dirty smells ect. but the islands and placencia are wonderful. i would really recommend fling into belize and leaving belize city immediately and going else where. the hotel was clean no real eminities cable tv and a rooftop lounge no bar or if there r people staying not many went up there it was peaseful at nite to go up there. Go anywhere in Belize except Belize city. taxi's r fairly cheap 6ish$ u s anywhere in city for the most part 25ish u s from airport to hotels. and as said drive like crazy.

“MY look at the hotell”

My look at the hotell The hotell Bachelor Inn shown on their webside and in reality are two differents world. Arriving to the hotell via taxi I started get suspicious and there were no one to check in. A cleaning lady came and said she will show me my room. The owner will be back later and she took me to third floor to the room and the DOOR Key was a key to a pad lock. Just a brief look in the room and it was a smell in their,open the refr. which had some old food so I decided not to check in and told the cleaning lady to get the owner. The room did not had a telephone but have one on the second floor -payphone-. I went down and wait for the owner who came about 45 min. later. I politely told her my oponion and will not check in and ask her for The Yellow Pages and find a hotell. I asked for a taxi and I mentioned to The Owner I would contact Expedia. Taxi cam and took me to my new Hotell Princess and find out that was a first class hotell.
