My friend and I were looking for a fews days of relaxation so we booked Hotel Taa Tiin on the recommendation of a trusted friend. It was the right choice! The hotel appears to be a family-owned affair and staff members couldn't have been any nicer to us! They were the perfect hosts. The small hotel building itself looks to be very new. Public areas are nicely decorated and pleasant, as are the rooms. Our beds, pillows, and bedding were of the highest quality and the bathroom has a strong hot shower. The only down side, not uncommon in Guatemalan hotels, was that there was only one small desk to hold our suitcases and no other storage. The building itself is odd in that windows in the rooms open onto interior public spaces. With this comes a great deal of noise bouncing off the cinderblock walls if others in the hotel ignore the "silencio" signs (which they did). Rooms are located adjacent to residential properties so you can expect the hear dogs barking, roosters crowing, and the slap-slap of tortillas being made over a fire. All in the Guatemalan experience! The hotel has a lovely garden area as well, where breakfast is served to guests every morning. We would have liked a few hammocks to laze in. Maybe they'll add some? There is also a temezcal on the property, which we didn't try but looked very inviting. Hotel Taa Tiin is up a hill a bit outside of town, so much more peaceful, especially at night. If you don't feel like walking, tuk-tuks come and go throughout the day and night so it's easy to get wherever you want to go.
