Very central San Ignacio guest house that was great for a family of 4 with a spacious room. The staff were very friendly and helped us to arrange private transport back to Belize City with a stop at the zoo

San Ignacio is a great town in Belize. This property is easily within walking distance to almost the entire town. I'd absolutely recommend Arnolds. They have a small limited restaurant on property. So if you don't feel like doing out you can eat on property, which is a great benefit.

very nice people, great coffee , good fruit and peanut butter toast breakfast. fast wifi and working air con; I did work Zoom for 3 hours no problem. San Ignacio is run down so this place fits in. cool building. spacious rooms. backpacker comfort level . I left my room at 820 AM and caught the 830 bus to Belize city with all my luggage a few blocks away

We will definitely stay here again when we come back! The 2 sisters who run it are the best! They gave us recommendations in the area, had a beautiful breakfast with fresh bread from the market and fresh juice, and even let us use their microwave for our leftovers! Thank you for everything!!

This is a great location, it’s very close to restaurants and we were able to hike to a nearby ruins. The property owners very helpful and accommodating with transportation, excursions and info on the area. Something light is provided in the morning for breakfast which was nice.

Great service from Arnold. He was always answering all questions we had. Organised our tours and transport with lower/same prices compared to others.
They offered free breakfast for guests. Receptionist was so helpful when my husband twisted his ankle on ATM.

We had excellent service at Arnold’s Guest House. The room rate included a continental breakfast and there was bottled water available. The proprietor even offered laundry service! We highly recommend the Ajaw Chocolate store’s experience and the Cahal Pech Mayan ruins, both of which are in walking distance.

The owner Liza Arnold and her worker Celeni were very pleasant and helpful.
I enjoyed my stay. I only wish the water in shower stayed hot a little longer before turning cool.

Wow! Top notch customer service, spotless rooms that had the ac cranked down when you walk in. Hand towels folded like roses (she learned to do online).
Many destinations easily walkable. Then there's the view from the rooftop patio..this place is a gem. We cannot wait to return!

Property is older, but very well taken care of.
Stuff was really nice, they gave you pointers on what to see and where to eat. It is located in the center of town so you have many options to eat.
Coffee and toast were a nice gesture in the morning.
If you are looking for clean, convenient and cheaper place, I would recommend to stay here.

The building is old, with basic amenities however the location is good for walking around the town and getting to the restaurants. Most tours picked up at the guest house as well, this is convenient. It is a good idea to check with the guest house before booking any tours, in case they can get a lower price. The staff were super friendly and this made a big difference on the stay.

Just needed a place to stay so I could do atm tour. Property got the job done. A/C wasn’t the best, so it was pretty hot.

We loved the location of the hotel (walkable to many things), but the AC could not keep up with the heat. There was a loud, barkong dog right outside our window (not this hotels failt bit something to consider)
