Reviews of Don Santiago Guesthouse Downtown

Hugo was extraordinary kind and helpful. Very family friendly. Fully equipped kitchen and drinking water available. Very centrally located and still a parking lot in front of the door available. For 10 Belize Dollar Hugo did our laundry within only a few hours.

Extremely good value for money. Regarding the price, I rate this 10, even though it's no luxurous hotel.

Locations is great, good price for the value, clean rooms, AC and WiFi. There is a living room and kitchen you can use.

Simple facilities, nothing bad to mention.

Excellent location, decent wifi. Clean. Host was helpful and carried my case up the narrow steps. Cold water dispenser and full feature kitchen handy for those who wanted to cook. At £28 a night, excellent value

Sink could have done with a plug in it and a couple of bulbs weren't working, but nothing that made me complain about them. I'm sure they'd have been fixed if I'd asked

For a budget accommodation, this place has everything one could wish for.

First of all very polite and helpfull stuff!! Good location and quiet place Very nice and clean bathroom!

All were OK!

Great location for downtown. Some very nice restaurants within walking distance. Good place to stay for the cost.

Room small and cramped. Layout was really only conducive to sleeping. Difficult to find as no clearly visible sign.

great location, clean facilities, host and house keeper were very kind and helpful!

It was a great location to see San Ignacio from. It's close to everything but still far enough from the busy areas to be quiet. The manager was very helpful.

The rooms next to the kitchen can be very loud in the morning when people are making breakfast so you won't be able to sleep in.

Great location Free water which was quite cold Great shower Safe in the room Hugo the manager was very pleasant to deal with

Bed was very loud and creaky every time you turned over Furniture and bedding a little dated (but was clean!) Noise travelled so you could heard a fair bit from outside the room

Came in on the shuttle from Belize City and the property was a 5 minute walk from Hodes Place. Very close to the ‘tourist’ area of Burns Ave., restaurants , and food stores. Pictures of the guest house are accurate, water is provided, and there is ample kitchen space for cooking meals. The manager Hugo was very helpful upon my late arrival.

My only issue was the bed. It is VERY firm, so if you have any back issues do not book this particular room. Other than that, I would stay again.

Hugo the manager is lovely thank you for having us! The room has everything you need, places for bags, hanging storage, working AC, nice fan too, great bathroom with hot water and hanging places. A huge functional shared kitchen, which is great and has everything!. Location is walking distance to everything in San Ignacio and perfect.

I could feel the springs in the bed and it was slightly uncomfortable, but that was all, it wasn't too bad and we'd happily stay here again for sure.

Perfect location, right on Burns Ave. Belize is a developing country so I wasn't expecting much, and I had stayed in a *different* guest house during a previous trip to San Ignacio that had a shared kitchen where the stove & refrigerator were so disgusting that I wouldn't leave my trash there but the Don Santiago's kitchen was IMMACULATE, as was the rest of the guest house. The manager Hugo was helpful and even had my room ready before check-in time. Anyone giving a negative review for this guest house needs to adjust their expectations: Belize is a developing country and the Don Santiago is BY FAR the cleanest guest house with the most amenities so far that I have stayed in while traveling in Belize. I will stay here again the next time I travel to Belize.

Nothing

Walking distance to restaurants, bars, shops, market. Inexpensive. Parking available out front Clean, pleasant staff, laid back.

Street noise til about 11 (mostly cars motorcycles) but it is in the downtown area.

We had a lovely night here, the room was quiet and beds very comfy. There was AC and fans keeping the room at the right temperature and it was clean and smelled really good. It is what you see, a simple place but it had everything to spend the night. Location was the best, same street where cafeterias/restaurants are and our agency Maya Walks to do ATM caves tour. The owner is a lovely man that helped us with all our requests. Don't be put off by the odd entrance!

Location. Manager, cleaner and maintenance guy were exceptional.

If you are placed in rooms 1,2,or3, you have to endure the ruckus of other families/groups make themselves at home in the kitchen (right outside your room door) to prepare and have a meal.

Very central location. Very good functional kitchen, although desperately needed a deep clean. Lovely staff, very helpful and let us leave our bags after checkout. Would recommend

Kitchen could do with a clean,

Don Santiago is an excellent place to rest and recharge in San Ignacio. The beds were comfortable, the common areas were well stocked, and the staff (particularly Hugo) were top notch! I really enjoyed my time there and it's location, just a couple of blocks from the main square area can't be beat.

No complaints.

2 minute walk from the shuttle terminal arriving from Guatemala. Friendly staff. Kitchen facilities were fine. Provided drinking water. Bedroom and bathroom were clean. My room had air conditioning. Near bus station (to Belize city), an outdoor bustling (weekend?) market. And close to a street with restaurants and bars. Over all, solid value.

For me, Google maps had the guesthouse on a parallel street. But it’s actually closer to the bus/shuttle terminal than google says.

The guy who checked us in was really friendly, our room was spacious and it was a bonus there was a kitchen we could cook in.

Nothing.

The manager was very kind & helpful. The needs of the guests were of primary importance. I felt very safe & comfortable there.

There were a few ants near the bath sink, but they went away w my bug spray.
