This property was close to downtown and the places I wanted to go. The owner was nice and helpful, and the kitchen was great! Shower could have used a deep cleaning, but other than that, I was very happy with the guest house!

Good Value and Quite, downtown San Ignacio
So really, I should give this place a 10/10, if your looking for a budget place downtown San Ignacio, but it is extremely quite, great location, use of the kitchen , on the other side, not a 3 star place, a bit tired looking, almost has a hostel feel but private bathrooms, and beds where descent....good value, would go back, but not for my honeymoon...

Western Guest House
The Western Guest House was a decent budget hotel. It was an easy walk for the place where our bus dropped us off (Belize City Water Taxi to San Ignacio Shuttle Bus) and to the main bus station in town. Upon arrival there the door to the entrance was locked but it was not long before the manager happened to open it, just about at the same time my companion made a call to him from a near by shop. Once the entry/exit procedures were outlined our stay went quite well. The room was not very large and the bathroom was small and fairly clean (there were a couple of large beetles in the shower drain at night but nothing was noticed elsewhere). There was a communal kitchen which we used for breakfast and storing drinks and snacks in the refrigerator. The hotel has a small deck overlooking the street. The location was good, it was right on the edge of the main down town area and easy walking to restaurants, shops, bus, tour operators and the local sites. Good value for the money, cleanliness, housekeeping were reasonable, the location very good, the manager provided good service.

This was the perfect place for us in San Ignacio. It was literally steps away from the main tourist street yet away enough to remain quiet. The host was very nice. There was fresh fruit on the table every day and filtered water to refill your bottle for free. The only thing I would change is perhaps brighter lights. Otherwise, perfect!

Great Value, Very Friendly, Central and Quiet
Very clean, located in a quiet central location, quick walk to the central bus station, tourist info center, shopping and restaurants. Very friendly and helpful staff. Appreciated Jovian answering all our questions by email and arranging transfer from a remote location. Nice porch swing to sit on balcony to enjoy fresh air. Quick walk to the market for fresh food. Full use of kitchen and fridge to prepare our fresh food bought from the market. Washer and dryer available for a fee, and clothesline for drying clothes. Would highly recommend.
