Hotel - Museo Xibalba

the fact that it is a museum and a hotel at the same time, when you are into Maya culture, and that’s very likely in Palenque, makes this place a must go to. nice replica’s of Maya steles. had plenty chances to do translations of the maya glyphs.

it was a bit noisy sometimes, but this was due to the spacious ventilation windows that were fortunately well closed by means of insect screens. these windows bring in fresh air at the same time.

Convenience: The property is in walking distance of the ADO bus. Plus, it is a very inexpensive ride to the ruins. Creativity: The hotel introduces visitors to the sculptures and carvings that have made Palenque so memorable, beginning with a full size replica of the cover of Pakal's tomb. Service: The restaurant is good, servicable, and moderate. Staff: Native Spanish speakers with plenty of English.

VERY clean! Excellent location. Very nice staff.

A few of the rooms are in a separate building a few doors down. This is where I stayed, so I can only speak to this experience- it was a bit loud. You could hear the noise outside very clearly and the curtains didn't block the lights out that well at night. To that extent, I didn't hear noise all night by any means- it was quiet from midnight to 7am for the most part.

Hotel Museo Xibalba worked out perfectly for my stay in Palenque; great location, clean comfortable room, reliably hot water, a block away from the colectivo stop to the ruins and very reasonably priced. They also offered a day tour to the archeological sites of Yachilan and Bonampak. It was a little more expensive than some similar offerings in town but had the (important) advantage of leaving a half hour earlier than the usual time (5:30am instead of 6:00) which made for getting ahead at the first site. The driver was excellent and the food provided (breakfast buffet & lunch) was also very good. Guides will offer their services when you arrive at the boat dock to Yaxchilan and I strongly recommend taking advantage of that option. Our group had an excellent tri-lingual (English, Spanish and Chol (Mayan dialect)) guide from the Escudo Jaguar organization named Jesus (‘Heyzeus’); definitely grab him if you can! Extremely knowledgeable and well deserving of a healthy tip/propina above his extremely modest base charge (as is the driver; it’s a fourteen hour day!). All in all a stellar experience and highly recommended.

Nothing

Situated in a pretty, leafy area with several hotels and restaurants. Close to the highway and shuttles to the archaeological zone of Palenque. The area is a bit above midrange but very cosy with lots of references to the maya history

Can be a bit noisy in the evening from restaurants playing Cuban music, but not unpleasant. No drinking in the street

Great location close to the ADO bus station, supermarket, and a nice selection of restaurants. Also not far from the markets. Staff is friendly and room was very clean. Having a water dispenser on every floor was great. Good water pressure, air conditioning and ceiling fan. WiFi decent, good breakfast, and top floor covered balcony was a nice area to relax outside of the room.

Only downside is noise. Walls are thin and there are vents so any noise in the common areas, neighbors, or adjacent restaurants playing music can be heard. Bring earplugs.

Great location, good value. Hot shower with good pressure. Rooms are cleaned everyday with new sheets and towels by a wonderful staff. I’d happily stay here again

Walls are a bit thin if you’re near the street you can hear everything, but the town quiets down fairly early so it wasn’t a big deal.

One of the best hotels in Palenque. The owner, Mr Marco Antonio Morales, was around one day and he was always extremely helpful and nice to us. The hotel is perhaps in the best location of Palenque, comfortable and clean. The area is nice, the facilities and surroundings are spectacular as well as the views.

Maybe that the car park is not so close to the rooms and you have to carry your luggage about 150 metres. This is not a big issue but in a rainy afternoon can be a hassle.

Great location near ado stop and near several nice cafes. Staff at front desk could not have been more helpful- we needed to print some things due to flight changes and only too happy to help. Spacious room, excellent shower and comfortable beds. A great hotel!

hotel is nice and clean. Great location.

Breakfast…the price you pay for it, it should have been better. I recommend going to another hotel restaurant across the street. Prices are excatly the same for breakfast but food is much better, bigger portion , u can refill your coffe plus u get fruit.
