    Absolutely lovely hostel in Copan. The hostel itself is beautiful and has plenty of space, the facilities are all very nice and it is also attached to a cafe/b&b owned by the same people. There is plenty of info available for Copan and the wider region as well. My only regret is not staying longer!

    There wasn't anything I didn't like, this place was awesome.

    I love how close the location was to everything. The hosts were also so lovely and kind. There was a lot of information available around the hostel in regards to what to do in Copan. The rooms were spacious and they even provided locks for the lockers and towels too! The nights were cool so you really didn't need a fan. There were plenty of toilets and showers. I love that they have an area for you to do your laundry and hang dry them as well.

    The mattresses really need replacing - they are very visibly collapsing in the middle, so they are no longer that comfortable.

    It was really lovely. Everywhere was so clean, and beautiful. The cafe in their other property next door makes the best breakfast - so much food! There is a very cute cat that loves to visit. She meows at you a lot, but it turns out that if you pick her up and sit her on your lap, she'll just curl up and go to sleep. Very cute kitty.

    No kitchen (although the staff warms your water if you want to make coffee etc). The most annoying thing though is that you don’t get a key to the main door, so you have to ring the doorbell every time you want to get back in. This leads to two things: You have to stand and wait for a few minutes every time you get back to the hostel, but also while you yourself are inside you will hear the doorbell all the time, because other people are trying to get in. If there’s a lot of people at the hostel, the door bell rings VERY often, and it gets annoying having to open the door all the time if you’re relaxing in your room. It’s also pretty weird that they don’t give you a key to the main door, as if they don’t trust their visitors with it. I’ve never experienced anything like that in any other hostel through all my years of travel.

    Helpful staff, good location. Nice bathrooms. Good room with great ventilation.

    The people in our dorm was so inconsiderate loud noisy up and down all the time couldn't sleep properly slamming the door, not the fault of the place itself but something to note. Also could have done with more fans in the room as it is steamy!

    The staff are lovely great food and the hostel is super clean with lots of showers and bathrooms, the bed is comfortable.

    Iguana Azul is an adorable little hostel with LOTS of information on traveling local areas. The owners own a fancy hotel next door and there are lots of books and reading materials to go through between the two locations. There are adorable cats that hang around the property and love to be loved. There is fresh water available and a fridge/freezer for use. The showers and bathrooms are outdoor in the courtyard and very cool. This place has a fun rustic feel to it. The owners were able to give me a lot of information on crossing the border during some protests which was very helpful, and the breakfast (at the fancy hotel next door) was very delicious and vegan friendly. I jogged to the ruins in like 10-15 minutes which I thought was really nice. Copan Ruinas the town is much more charming than I expected. Don't just rush through this town to see the ruins, because the town has delicious food, fun bars, and cool museums and architecture. There is always a security guard sitting at the entrance to the property at night, and I felt very safe and secure.

    The reception is next doors and you do not get a key, so usually need to hope that some guest opens the door for you. However sometimes there is a guard as well

    The Iguana Azul is exceptionally clean. They even make your bed every day which I’ve never experienced in any Hostel before. The prices are cheap and in return give you everything you need. Plus, the owner and their team really try everything to make your stay as comfortable as they can.
