    The hostel had a great restaurant nearby with the best breakfast I've ever had, including delicious fresh pineapple marmalade and homemade lemongrass tea. the location of the hostel offered a stunning view of the mountains from the garden, creating a serene atmosphere. - the staff was friendly and helpful, providing gorgeous recommendations for exploring the city and nearby areas.

    The lack of a communal kitchen made it a bit expensive for budget backpackers, as eating out for every meal can add up. When it rained, using the outside toilets, showers, and sink became inconvenient without any cover to protect guests from getting wet.

    I had a fantastic stay at Iguana Azul! The dormitory I stayed in was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. The showers and toilets in the back garden were always kept clean and had hot water. I even appreciated the dedicated sink for doing laundry. The value for money was excellent. I highly recommend this hostel for a great stay in Copan.

    I had an incredible stay at a hostel in Copan called Iguana Azul. the atmosphere was fantastic, the location was ideal, and my room was spacious and clean. the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making arrangements for tours and providing lots of information about things to do in the area. the on-site cafe was a great addition, offering delicious food and a cozy environment. it was my favorite place to stay in Honduras. The laundry service was also a bonus, leaving my clothes looking brand new. Cons: Couldn't fault it! 😊.

    The hostel was clean, well-kept, and had a chilled atmosphere. the staff was friendly and accommodating, offering tons of information about the area. the rooms had hot water showers and comfortable beds. the location was great, just a few minutes away from the center.

    for those looking for a peaceful getaway, it could actually be a positive aspect. Backpacking in the area tends to be a bit lonely, but if you're looking for some solitude, this is the place for you.

    I spent Christmas at this hotel and it was amazing! the location was perfect, close to all the attractions and local amenities. Plus, they had a delicious breakfast included, which was a great way to start my day.

    The mattresses were really uncomfortable. They were sagging in the middle, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

    The private rooms were spacious and clean, and the separate bathrooms and showers were a great convenience. The location of the hostel was perfect - it was quiet but still close to the plaza and activities in the village. The internet connection was reliable, and the staff was friendly and informative.

    I recently stayed at Iguana Azul in Copan for a week and had a fantastic time. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Maria in the hostel restaurant and the owner, Howard. The hostel itself was clean and well-maintained, with comfortable beds, hot showers, and fast WiFi. The dorms were spacious and secure, and there was always someone available to let you in or out of the building. The on-site information and tour assistance were also very helpful. Plus, the restaurant next door served delicious homemade food at great prices. one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at.

    I highly recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hostel was fantastic, with easy access to the main center and various attractions in the area. the staff provided a lot of information about activities and transportation options, making it convenient for travelers. the rooms were cleaned daily and came with towels and blankets. the hostel had a beautiful and serene property, providing a peaceful atmosphere.

    There was only one set of charging sockets in the room, which was inconvenient for multiple people needing to charge their devices.
