Marios is a great place to stay. For the price we paid, $8US for a double, I hadn’t expected such quality rooms. All rooms face a central garden which is nothing spectacular but it does create a nice atmosphere. Also, if you are lucky, you will have a window that faces the lake. You can''t see the lake but the volcanoes are clearly visible. The staff is friendly but their English isn’t that good. Don’t worry they have patience. It is a great chance to practice your Spanish. There is a small restaurant in front of the hotel. Good for breakfast. There is better value and quality food to be found. Panajachel is full of cheap places to stay, so if Marios isn''t your thing just have a look and you will find something you like. Most hotels are on or just off Calle Santander.
