What guests think

Hotel John David offers a central, budget-friendly base with easy access to shops, eateries, the bus station and Palenque routes, while recurring drawbacks include limited parking logistics and occasional noise around the nearby market area.

Rooms are simple and generally comfortable for short stays, with working A/C and hot water. Cleanliness is praised across multiple reviews, though a few cite bathroom maintenance issues and one report of mold; staff are usually friendly and helpful, with a rare complaint about reception. Overall, expect a straightforward, well-located stay on a budget.

Good first- clean, safe. Could be better- parking is very limited- your vehicle is blocked in by others or you are blocking in others. They will not take the keys or move cars, so you need to get up early and move yours or you need to wait for others to move theirs. Not a good system. Also, the showers are terrible. Last, the rooms have a window into the hallway, which is always brightly lit. No blackout curtains, so the room is very bright all through the night.
