Hotel Hogartel Darío — Hotel in Tegucigalpa

We stayed for 2 nights in a double room with private bathroom and AC. ||We only used the hotel as a transit point so I can't comment on how good its location is. It's a confusing city and there didn't seem to be much around other than roads and fast food restaurants. The room we had was fairly quiet considering the chaos outside. ||The room was a good size with the added bonus of a fridge. The bed was gigantic. There was a good level of cleanliness. Hot water in the shower.||There is no breakfast is included but you can pay additional to have it. We did and asked for it in the room.

Coffee is available all day long.||There is a kitchen and various areas for communal use. ||Wifi was not working on our floor, we had to go downstairs. ||The staff were very helpful with taxis, transport research...

Most will want to take taxis, the radio taxi used by the hotel seems to be a good option. Although it seems that the hotel is located in the one block that does not have a fried chicken restaurant, there are a number of delivery options recommended. The terraces are public areas, some rooms windows...

What really made the hotel were the staff. They were all, without fail, welcoming, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We arrived late (2 hour delay with bus) and the night manager could not have been more accommodating. The room was spacious, with balcony and AC. The beds were really comfortable and we had such a good nights sleep. The shower and bathroom was clean. Good coffee available 24hrs downstairs. Free wifi and the baleada or fruit and pancake breakfasts were both fantastic. The hotel was safe and secure and we would happily...
