Hibiscus Hotel — Hotel in Belmopan

Great location; tucked away between the Ring roads just off Constitution Dr. Lots of shops, banks, market, pharmacies nearby. In my room were the cleanest tile floors of any place I've visited in my 47 years of internatonal travel. The doors were not well fit to their frames, but otherwise the room was well appointed. Not many power outlets but I usually carry a small power strip anyway. The atrium is a small paradise of plants & flowers among concrete walkways.

There's a back gate to the grand walkway among the major government buildings an offices, leading to a beautiful large open area that's next to St. Ann's Anglican Church which owns the northern part of the open area. To the south of St. Ann's is Independence Park. Many trees but only a few shade the walkways.

The hotel office is closed on Sundays & holidays but does accommodate guests every day. The upstairs restaurant is open-sided but covered and serves lunch & dinner, closed Sundays. If restaurant patrons are noisy then that can disturb hotel guests on the other side of the small atrium.

Breakfast alternatives are nearby but not obvious. Caladium's is a 5 minute walk away for breakfast, lunch & dinner.

The Hibiscus Hotel is a great place to stay....

I paid about $55/night. Credit cards accepted. If you're a backpacker, stay here--this is unquestionably your best option in town. Excellent location close to the bus station. Scotia Bank right across the street. Restaurant onsite that serves very delicious and amazingly reasonably priced food for lunch and dinner--I pretty much ate every meal there. Owned-managed by a young British couple. Husband is the chef and is usually hidden in the kitchen. The wife is a lovely young woman in every sense of the world, and she'll be the one out-and-about keeping an eye on things and getting you sorted with advice and information. Room is spacious and comfortable. A/C. Wifi. Hot-water showers. Ask about a city tour. You cannot check in on a Sunday. If you know the exact day you'll be arriving in Belmopan and in need of a room, call ahead and book--the rooms fill up fast. N.B.: You do NOT want to extend your visa in Belmopan. Do it literally anywhere else in Belize that has an...

The best thing about this hotel is the location. It is nice and central, near the bus terminal. Checking in can be a bit of a hassle, as you have to go to the bar upstairs to do it and the same waitress serving mugs of beer has to check you in so if the bar is busy you gotta wait a bit. Nonetheless she was efficient. ||||The room was clean, bed was large and comfy, AC worked fine, TV was good, hot water heater and tea and instant coffee is a nice little touch. I was in Room 5, and there was a sporadic beeping, which was the smoke alarm, the beeping was not consistent, a bit of a nuisance, and not sure how to turn it off. But thankfully I had a sleeping pill to knock me out. The bed was very comfortable so that made up for it. ||||I checked out early, but the restaurant/bar was still closed (7am) so I just tossed the key through the gate. All in all an ok stay, but not if you are planning several nights or plan to...
