Hotel Tikal Inn

I know it is not the hotel fault, but there was not light when we got there at 8pm, it was complete dark. there was a small lamp and that is it. Very uncomfortable. I think they only have power from 6-8am, 12-2pm and then from 4-6pm. I guess that is the price to stay in Tikal park.

Tout est propre, personne agréable, nourriture bonne, piscine propre. J’ai meme pu admirer plusieurs singes dans les arbres sur le terrain de l’hôtel

Conveniently located close to the entrance to Tikal National Park, the Tikal Inn has comfortable rooms (though no A/C), an amazing front desk staff willing to answer any and all questions about the park and the area, a beautiful pool just steps from your room, and a basic kitchen with an ample selection of local foods that won’t break the budget. Electricity is rationed to three times a day for 2 or 3 hours, making it an eco-friendly experience. Wildlife can be spotting easily on the property and, of course, inside the park, which is why you are here anyway, right? Rooms are reasonably priced. For those roughing it there’s a campground nearby. The Tikal Inn is ideal for sunrise or sunset trips to the Ruins as well as a “home-base” for visits to Uaxactun, Yaxhá, or even El Mirador. Flores is an easy trip as well.

The pool is fantastic! So enjoyed swimming at night!

Beautiful place , do not set your expectations too high, no TV, limited electricity, they run the place on a generator and turn off power twice a day. Staff super nice clean make sure you ask for a room w a/c thank me later, it’s only 20 bucks more dollars. Lobby and pool area only place you get WiFi. Bring a portable speaker for pool area. Easy walking to the Ruins which is why you come here. Would I stay here again? YES

As advertised. What a crazy feeling to be swimming in a pool in the middle of the jungle with wild animals all around you. Decent restaurant. Obviously its pricier than elsewhere, as it is in the craziest location. Limited electricity hours, 24/7 wifi. Very friendly and helpful staff

The hotel was a great base to explore the Tikal ruins from, being only about a 10 minute walk from the temple ruins. The staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was good enough, but the WiFi signal in my room was weak, and like all the hotels in the park, electricity gets cut at 9. If you’re going earlier in the year, that’s probably fine—but the days that I was there, the region was experiencing record heat in the 40s/100s, and so sleeping comfortably was almost impossible without even a fan to circulate the air. Not having electricity at night does mean that the sky really does light up with the stars and you really do hear the sounds of the forest that you are surrounded by. I don’t see myself going back to Tikal anytime soon, but if I were, I would think twice about staying in the park again.

Definitely worth staying here rather than in Flores. Being so close to the park is a huge plus. The staff is very nice and speak very good English (helpful if your Spanish isn’t that great). We booked sunrise, sunset, and archeological tours through the hotel and were paired with our guide Nixon who was great. We also toured yaxha at sunset which was further away but very beautiful. Tours were affordable and worthwhile. Licuados (smoothies) at the hotel and the pool onsite were great during the hot parts of the day. We stayed two nights but I wish we had stayed three or four as there is so much to see and we felt a bit rushed with our personal exploration. Being in the jungle, wifi can sometimes be spotty but it’s impressive to me that they have it at all. Enough power to charge your phone and necessities 24/7. With a fan in the room we stayed a comfortable temperature (got chilly at night). Be prepared to buy bottled water for 10q as the hotel will quickly run out of free filtered water if there are many guests. Not a huge deal but you should be prepared. You can pay with credit card at the hotel but you should bring some cash with you for outside of the hotel because there is no atm. We would visit Tikal again and stay with Hotel Tikal Inn.

We had a bungalow with garden view. The room is spacious, the bathroom not. Everything could use a little updating. There is a mosquito net over the bed. On the top of the walls and windows are screens. This is very important, because there is no a/c. There are no electrical connections to the park hotels. Everything runs on generators. These generators run only a few hours in the morning and a few in the evening. Then it’s lights out. Not a problem for us since we were very tired at night. If you can’t charge something electronic extra they do it at the front desk. Buy water at the entrance of the park at the Super24. We got an 8 liter container and filled our water bottles when needed. Otherwise you have to buy too many little bottles at the hotel or from vendors. The restaurant is nice and has a good selection. The prices for the location are reasonable. They prepare everything at ordering. It takes time, but I assume they have limited refrigeration capacity to keep a lot at the ready. Staff was very friendly. It got very hot during the night and the fan stops running at one point. It was very nice to have clean and fresh sheets and towels every day. You are in the rain forest, which is a noisy place with howler monkeys and lots of birds. The pool is a life saver on a hot afternoon. Unfortunately it wasn’t very clear. We didn’t get sick, but it didn’t look appealing. The grounds are very pretty and well kept. Parking is free. Overall I would go back.

Hotel Tikal Inn is steps from the entrance to Tikal. It has been around since the 60s and it is well designed and totally charming. They offer guided tours including sunrise and sunset tours, which I highly recommend. We arranged the sunrise tour with the property and it was totally worth it (bring a flashlight or headlamp). If you’re a wildlife lover, you definitely want to stay within the park and hear the jungle come alive in the am. Other highlights from our short stay: hot water shower; fan worked 24/7; mosquito nets (even though I didn’t see any bugs in the room, nice to have); plenty of parking; restaurant accommodated us even though we arrived near its closing; pool (which we didn’t have time to use) and very friendly staff. Breakfast was particularly good. I will absolutely come here again and stay for longer. Tikal is fabulous, but equally so is the wildlife that surrounds it and the best way to experience both is to stay within the park. Great adventure!

The Tikal Inn is the perfect place to stay while visiting Tikal Park. The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable. No air conditioning so it can be warm. We stayed next to the pool that was very well kept and great on a hot day. Only issue was some staff let people smoke next to the pool and hence next to our room. I understand that was against the rules normally but we spent two days with a lot of smoke

Tout est propre, personne agréable, nourriture bonne, piscine propre. J’ai meme pu admirer plusieurs singes dans les arbres sur le terrain de l’hôtel

No tendieron las camas, el primer día no había agua caliente. Y se demoraron más de una hora en servirnos el desayuno

Wonderful experience. Very friendly and helpful staff including reception, restaurant, the tourguide, and drivers who picked us up at the border. Maintenance of bathroom drainage could be better. The pool was wonderful but the water looked a bit dirty the first days - thereafter it was cleaned. We will definitely recommend the hotel!

EXCELLENT. Clean, perfect location for spending time at Tikal. Staff was so very helpful, accommodating and kind. Highly recommend.

My two-night stay at Hotel Tikal Inn was mixed. While conveniently located just a ten-minute walk from Tikal's magnificent ruins, several issues detracted from the experience. Pre-arrival communication was problematic, with emails and messages often unanswered for 3 days. I received incorrect information about Tikal ticket purchasing options and was quoted an inflated $100 for airport transfer while a nearby hotel offers more affordable shuttle options. The property shows signs of neglect with cobwebs on windows, ceilings, and walls. My shower had mineral buildup causing an uncomfortable water stream. While rooms are generally clean, maintenance needs improvement. I stayed in room B11, which was clean but lacked the mosquito netting visible in other rooms. When requested, staff claimed my bed was "too large" for netting, resulting in uncomfortable nights disturbed by mosquitoes. The staff were pleasant and engaging in person. All meals I enjoyed at the property were consistently good. The hotel does offer an outdoor pool which is a nice amenity. Internet connectivity was limited to common areas only, despite advertisements of "free Wi-Fi" creating inconvenience for planning activities. While Hotel Tikal Inn has potential given its prime location, management should address these issues to improve the guest experience and better reflect its position as a gateway to one one of Guatemala's most treasured archaeological sites.

Such a great place! Walking distance to Tikal National Park, very clean rooms and super helpful staff. Couldn't recommend it more!

We throughly enjoyed our experience in Tikal. Tikal Inn was just okay for us. I thought I had booked a bungalow not knowing they had rooms inside the kitchen/office building. I was of course disappointed in my assumption. The site advertises the Inn has limited electricity. What’s not advertised is the cabinas/bungalows have electricity 24 hours a day. Because our room was in the main building (again not advertised) we had the limited electricity. To add to this, the hours the electricity was on was when we were in the park. Our room was clean however the bathroom sink smelled really bad of sewer when the trickle of water was turned on. The shower had a trickle of cold water as well. We were looking forward to cooling down in the swimming pool but refused to get in it as the water was very milky. There is a tile name of Tikal Inn in the shallow end but you could barely read it through the milky water. We chose not to eat in the restaurant rather at the hotel next to the Inn. We absolutely loved Jessica at the front desk. A very pleasant young lady. We felt the advertising was very deceiving. Had we been 30 years younger maybe this would have been fine. We would stay again in the bungalows. Our friends were in one with their full electricity and ability to take a shower in the light. It was very cute.

You’re super close to the Tikal archeological park which is great. You’re practically sleeping inside of it. The only downside is that the electricity cuts out every night so It can get a bit hot without the fan working, but other than that it’s clean and the staff are very nice and super helpful. I would go again.

Spent 4 nights here. Wonderful place - quiet, wildlife, close to ruins. Richard and Jessica in front office were extremely pleasant and helpful. Food and restaurant staff good. Local guide Nixon is very good. Only negative is the rooms could use a bit of an upgrade and it is my understand that is to happen soon.

Very basic rooms

Existen habitaciones que disponen de aire acondicionado y electricidad las 24 ha y otras que no las tienen. La diferencia de costo es muy poca pero si no te imaginas que eso sucede puede ser un problema. Seria bueno especificar en la página con letras muy visibles para saber qué esperar

So fun to stay so close to Tikal- you need to buy your entrance tickets before you arrive. Its a very simple walk to the park entrance. The bunglaow was adorable. It was very hot, a bit hard to sleep but worth it for the experience

Gutes Hotel fussläufig zum Nationalpark. Große schmucklose Zimmer mit Moskitoschutz und kleiner Terrasse. Einfaches Bad, aber insgesamt gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Restaurant ist OK. Nachts waren auf der Wiese des Hotels überall Glühwürmchen

Nos toco unos cuartos muy feos y poco acogedores, ya que estaban las cabañas ocupadas al 100%, el servicio muy bueno y con gran disponibilidad para atendner al huesped.

The hotel was great. Conveniently located within the ruins. Clean, great food and great staff. I left my tablet on the plane that was 2hrs away and the hotel staff arranged a pick up for me that saved my trip. I loved everything about this place!

We had a number of questions and the staff at the front desk were excellent

I will not stay there again. The front desk staff were amazing. The restaurant, would not take my order, or serve me food. The restaurant was open, but the staff are incompetent.

Front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. They both speak excellent English to accommodate my poor Spanish.

Roxy and the staff were great! Nixon guided us on the day, sunset, and sunrise tours and he did a fantastic job. The proximity to Tikal National Park can't be beat.

Staff pleasant and friendly, great location and clean lodging.

Room was basic but nice and clean Especially the location by the pool. Pool was nice despite a few dead bugs which is expected in a rainforest. Bed comfy with good quality cotton linen. Service was mixed. On arrival the reception was helpful. They even sorted a guide for our sunrise tour. However, I tried on 4 occasions to contact the hotel via direct email and via hotels.com messages multiple days before arrival with no reply. I ended up getting an airport transfer from the Jungle lodge hotel next door. This was quite stressful as Flores airport is very small with limited options to get to tikal. (There weren't even any taxis when we arrived, without the jungle lodge we would have been stuck). The reception and dining area was also very dated and food very basic and bland. We went to the Jungle lodge for food and found the restaurant much nicer.ans service better, even if the price was higher.

Beautiful location near entrance to Tikal national park in the jungle. Swimming pool is not heated. Service excellent, particularly a big shout to Richard, he was very helpful and informative.

Muy bien situado cerca de la entrafa al parque. Personal muy amable. Buena relacion calidad precio. Habitaciones limpias y cómodas.

At the park entrance.

Being in the middle of the jungle and very close to the park entrance is amazing. Great place!

Excelente ubicación

Loved being so close to Tikal. Rooms were clean, staff super nice, good food at kitchen, pool was great at the end of the hot day (warm water from the sun so not refreshingly cool but good). Electricity limited - bring uSB plugs (no USB-C ports) - but they will charge devices in the office if you ask. Very few food options nearby but hotel restaurant was very good. Fav: burrito. No AC, ceiling fan only. I opened all windows and propped bathroom door open to get a small cross breeze but nights are still warm. Overall I would choose to stay her every time over the commute to Flores. Just past Jaguar Inn.

The hotel needs renovation but otherwise it's fine for the price (78 US dollars per night). We stayed there for two nights to have the time to explore Tikal at sunset and sunrise. The room was spacious with two comfortable double beds. There was hit water which is a plus in the jungle. The hotel is literally in the jungle, so you can see toucans and monkeys in the garden, which was amazing. The swimming pool was a nice plus to have and it stays open until 9pm so we could use it in the evening after a long day walking in the park. Food at the restaurant was average, I'd recommend exploring other restaurants in the park (esp. the Jaguar Inn). The nicest thing about this hotel was the staff: Ricardo and colleagues at the front desk were the most helpful people we came across in a long trip through Guatemala and Belize. They really care and do a great job.

No tendieron las camas, el primer día no había agua caliente. Y se demoraron más de una hora en servirnos el desayuno

Richard (at the reception) was amazing! He provided us with so much information to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We wished for a more expansive menu but enjoyed the pool before and after our trek out of the site.
