This 1930s-era palace features colonial-era furniture and art that makes you feel like you’ve gone back in time or staying in a museum. Conveniently located just steps from the market and a block from the main church. Beautifully maintained including old world charm like wood stacked in a hearth box next to your fireplace, fresh water in a carafe and goblets on a tray, and beautiful courtyards. Authenticity throughout added to the richness of the experience. We felt like royalty!

We absolutely loved our stay. The place just felt so comfortable and homey. The staff was extremely nice, accommodating and willing to help. We would highly recommend staying here and experiencing a lovely stay with a fireplace that makes it a 10/10 stay.

Great location, maybe 1 minute walk to start of the market. Room was very large and bed comfy. Bathroom was fine as we had hot water always and good water pressure. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only negative was the inclusive breakfast. Service was poor (received toast, 5 mins later received the jam, 5 mins later still the butter). Also the breakfast food was average. It's all included so can't complain too much. Only other comment is bar doesn't open to 5pm. It's the only one on town , there was always guests waiting for it to open. Maybe open bar earlier ?
Overall great place to stay.

Wonderful stay. Lovely room with a fire at night. Friendly helpful staff. We thought it a gem amongst the colourful Chichi markets - it’s extremely close to the market, churches & cemetery

A unique Inn with lots of history. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming. The rooms were historic and the fireplace was very welcome for cold nights.

A charming hotel situated just feet from the heart of the market. Location can't be beat. The fireplace in the bedroom was a delight and warmed our room right up during chilly February evenings.

If you like staying in historical properties with period furnishings, yet with all modern amenities, this is the place for you! It's great to see how the wealthy lived in the colonial era.
Front desk employees were super helpful and spoke English. The included breakfast was delicious and served in a historical room with a view.
We received drink vouchers, but did not know they had to be used on arrival day before 7pm.
Consider calling to ask for rooms with windows facing the back of the property, which is a green space, instead of the rooms facing the streets.

Loved our room and thought we had gotten an upgraded and later learned that ll rooms have a fireplace. Great location- steps away from the cemetery, Santo Thomas Church and of course the market. It is a colonial style (older hotel). The linens and towels were of nice quality.

Love the stay here with great staff! Excellent, old structures with gorgeous courtyards and nice touches in the rooms. Heat is by fireplace, but they will set it all for you and it works nicely. Solid breakfast, and you can't beat the location. (It is tricky to drive to though, as the market takes up many roads around it--otherwise really great spot for exploring.)

Ok if passing through.
This was a much researched and planned trip. Having seen promotional info about the Mayan inn online with staff in traditional gear , we were full of anticipation. The info in the Inn itself suggested guests take a drink in the fire lit cosy bar. It gets cold at night in the highlands and after a day exploring the market, that would have been welcome.
The Inn hasn’t changed much since the 1930s although it does have WiFi in public areas not in bedrooms. Bedroom was dark and tired.
Staff were friendly enough but not in traditional wear.
Breakfast , if included, is carefully rationed out and one needs to ask for butter or more coffee.
The enticing bar had no fire for the 3 nights there , so we sat in coats. The bar opening times are limited- some nights it shut at 8 pm.
We paid extra for a Mountain View: the hills were invisible because of trees right next to the window.
This is an old hotel with quirky items and some interesting paintings but…… it’s ok for two nights if passing through. It is a few meters from the market and famous churches so well positioned. We stayed for 3 nights and felt it lacked guest comfort zones.

agua caliente
El agua caliente es inexistente, pedimos agua caliente y supuestamente prendieron mas fuego (al parecer es a leña el sistema) nos quejamos que no funcionaba y vinieron a revisar que no mentiamos, y nos ensuciaron todo el baño y no solucionaron.
