My stay at the Hotel Victoria in Panajachel, Lake Atitlán | Guatemala

June 23 2021

I wanted to stay a second week in Panajachel to enjoy Lake Atitlán a bit more so I moved to the Hotel Victoria.

I loved my stay at Panahouse in Panajachel. It was very comfortable but such luxuries enjoyed for too long would make me soft.

It was also a bit too pricey. With a weekly rate, of 600 Q (85 Q a night) it was imperative to find a cheaper place if I was to stay longer in town.

Using GoogleMaps, I found Hotel Victoria. "Simple Lodging with Shared Kitchen". This sounded just what I needed. The reviews were encouraging too!

I went to check it out.

The manager speaks English so it was easy to work out a deal. For 6 or 7 nights he could do 70 Quetzales a night. And this included breakfast.

So a few days later after I had finished up my stay at the Panahouse, I relocated.

Room 12 with double bed, I even have a TV. I wonder how Guatemalan TV is? I rigged up the mozzie net later:

Standard bathroom, just for me. Freshly laundered towel and soap:

Windows always seem to open internally to the corridor and sound insulation is not built-in as a standard here, so depending on your neighbours thoughtfulness or lack of it, best you pack some earplugs and hope they don't stay too long.

AVGs Wi-Fi Speed Test. I don't know if this is good or bad but YouTube ran without interruption, Video chat on Whatsapp functioned and the images on this blog post loaded as per normal. Good enough for me. If you are a digital nomad, you should be sourcing your own connection and not rely on free Wi-Fi:
