Nice hotel with really clean floors, comfortable beds, and basic services. The owner is very helpful when you need it. Located on the quieter side of town, this hotel is about 1.5 miles from the Embarcadero for San Pedro and San Juan. Laundry services are available for a reasonable price. Breakfast is also available for various options.

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.

The property was nice but there was no one at the front desk except during check-in so we couldn't get any help with tours or anything like that. Location is a bit out of the way but there are some local food options nearby Location

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.

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.
