Hotel Ixbalanque

This is not a hotel. It’s a hostal. A little pricey given the condition of the place. It’s safe and just a few blocks from the airport. The staff friendliness balanced it out the whole experience.

I was unable to reach the hotel to arrange for late pickup at the airport. They didn't return voice mails, texts, or e-mails. I finally got Hotels.com, and they called them for me and the answer they got was "we're not coming to pick anyone up tonight." Then Hotels told me there was nothing they could do and refused to refund my money because as they put it, "my plans had changed." This was ridiculous I ended up staying at another hostel close by but I will not be using Hotels.com again. Don't stay at this place.

This property is located nicely/ideal near airport within minutes. However the customer service is very disappointing. Staff is rude and do not coordinate/communicate well with each other (previous shifts). Breakfast included ** customer beware it consists of cornflakes, milk OR toast and jam personnel not happy to be servicing you and using profanity within feet of the dining area didn’t even bother to say you’re welcome when we (children,, wife and I) said thank you when milk, coffee and spoons arrived. Went back to cussing and hanging out with coworkers using those words not caring that there are customers within feet of them. Be advised if says it’s included shuttle to airport but you have to be very CAREFUL! You MUST ensure the previous shift left/advised the new shift that you will be needing shuttle to airport upon your leaving because they do not have an on-site shuttle driver be warned they may even charge you for the Uber ride to the airport! Staff was unprofessional and not willing to find a solution not asking proper questions to help find a solution. Very rude and unprofessional. Disappointing because there is potential in this small house turned hotel.

I had to use my credit card to pay as I didn't have cash. The hotel staff member (who didn't speak any english) told me that they charged fees for using your credit card. Fine, I assume there will always be a fee of 5% or so. However it was 10%, plus some other fee that I didn't understand, plus an expensive exchange rate that they charged. The amount ended up DOUBLING the cost of my stay, from $25 US to about $50. I feel like I got ripped off. Also, I needed a shuttle at 4am to catch my flight. I told him this the night before. At 4am I went to the front desk, had to wait for him to wake up, and then call an uber. Eventually leaving around 4:20, rushing through the airport to get to the gate. A little unprofessional. The room and the bed was comfortable but as others stated, you can hear everything in the hallway and can hear other guests coming in late at night. Due to this all I wouldn't stay here again.
