Property is clean, safe, and quiet . Staff is great! Property is about 15 minutes walk to restaurants in central panajachel, or you can tuk-tuk for only 5 quetzals to the restaurants' area or to the pier area.

Hotel Sol is an excellent choice to stay when visiting the Panajachel area. Unlike many other places in the area, the building is secure, very clean, the rooms are big, the shower (hot and cold water) actually works, and the staff are attentive and helpful. Although the hotel is in the periphery of Panachel, for less than $1 (5 quetzales) you can hop into a tuck-tuck and go anywhere in Panajachel. I have stayed in several places in the area and Hotel Sol is my number one choice.

The hotel manager is one of the kindest persons I have met in the hotel industry. He has service with a smile. Good breakfasts for a reasonable price and excellent cleanliness in the room. Also, very quiet except for an occasional dog barking at night. If looking for a hotel away from the noise of Pana this is the place.

Bien pour le prix
L'hôtel est assez loin du centre ville, la literie n'est pas confortable. Malgré tout le personnel est serviable et le prix est intéressant.

Nice hotel. A little off the main streets. About a 10-15 mi. Walk to all the bars/restaurants.
Staff very friendly. Available parking on site.
Rooms were simple yet decent.
Overall pleased stay for just one night.

Bonne adresse
Établissement propre et agréable. Tenu par une sympathique et serviable famille japonaise, visiblement adepte de puzzles qui décorent les murs de tout l’hôtel. C’était cocasse d’en avoir un du Port de St Tropez dans notre chambre. Petit jardin fréquenté par les 2 lapins de la famille.
On peut dîner de qq plats japonais servis en chambre. L’hôtel est situé à 10mn des plages du bord de lac et 15 du centre ville. Je recommande.

The hotel staff was kind and attentive. Internet connection was great. Breakfast was cheap and good and even Japanese food is available! Delicious!
The hotel is very nice (for the price, of course), and I would definitely stay there again if I were to go back to Panajachel. The location is a little bit less convenient since it's somewhat outside of the central area, and so at night one needs to take a tuk tuk to get to the hotel, but otherwise everything is good.

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