Our family of 4 had a great time. Communication with the hotel staff prior to our stay was excellent. The lady at reception was lovely and very helpful. We did the sunrise tour arranged by the hotel and the guide was excellent. We had a room with solar panels and air condition which meant hot shower water and good sleep. The pool is amazing and well maintained. Tikal is magical and this place is only a short walking distance from the park entrance.

Great place in Tikal

This hotel experience was amazing. They arranged my travel to and from Flores as I flew in from Guatemala City. Spend a day in Flores if you can before heading the 1 hour 15 minute trip to Tikal Inn which is located right in the national park. I recommend you stay in a bungalow. I have stayed in an interior room before and it was very hot but the bungalow was perfect. Request a bungalow by the pool. The pool is amazing. The rooms are very clean. I didn’t see any bugs at all in our room. We preferred the food next door at Jaquar Inn but the food at Tikal Inn is okay.  Definitely take  the sunrise tour. It’s the only way to see monkeys and see and hear the jungle awake with a view on top of a Mayan temple.

See Monkeys in the Wild and More!

There are not many options to stay inside the park and I'm glad that I chose Tikal Inn. The location can't be beaten. Two minutes from the entrance and surrounded by the jungle and the wildlife. Perfect for early morning or late evening trips. 
Staff : I was pleased to meet the owner Ms Roxy Ortiz, who is a very well known guide. Unfortunately she doesn't guide any more for health issues but she was very happy to talk to us and share her knowledge. Rest of the staff were warm, cordial and polite. 
They were not fluent in English but with our broken Spanish we managed. The young man at the front desk ( ? Daniel, apologies I forgot the name) was fluent in English and explained everything nicely. 
Rooms : Bungalow five was clean and perfectly adequate space-wise. Two separate beds. Bathroom a little narrow but not bad. We had good water pressure unlike others. Room had mosquito  nets and a ceiling fan. Some of the bungalows now have solar so you can have the fan in even in the night. 
We were in the middle of heat wave and Jeronie from Crystal paradise had given us a portable fan and two spare batteries. The fan was a life saver. I slept very well, only to wake up to the blood curdling screams of the howlers ! 
The pool comes very handy. 
Food : we are vegetarians and the food was decent and filling. It's not going to blow you away but perfectly acceptable.  I had egg and pancake for breakfast. Nice. The beans were okay, but I was getting tired of eating beans after two weeks in Central America !  
Free water refill, although the water dispensers seemed to be reluctant to dispense water ! 
The restaurant and the sitting area is nicely decorated with large reliefs and Mayan artefacts. 
There are some bugs inevitably but that's to be expected. Abundant bird life nearby. A trail nearby would take you to a small lake where I saw many boat billed herons. Woodpeckers, hummers and oropendulas aplenty.  Sometime you can even see jaguars I believe. 
Overall, a very good value for money and a perfect place to stay inside the park to explore the ruins.

A very decent option to stay next to the ruins and in the jungle.

Situated right at the gateway to Tikal Park, the hotel met all my needs.  Since the area is isolated there is a restaurant which really comes in handy.  Even some local Mayan-type food.  Bring mosquito spray!   room came with a mosquito net but anyway you need it.  Power only available certain times, but if you get the bungalow like I did it comes with solar and so you have power 24 hours !

Everything you need before going into the jungle

This was simply amazing. One day here is NOT enough, so I'm glad we stayed overnight here and had two days exploring the park. The Tikal Inn is rustic, in a nice way. All the hotels in the park are off the grid here, so generators are used to provide electricity during certain parts of the day. We were a little nervous to know that the electricity would be shut off at 9 pm, but as it turns out, at the Tikal Inn, they are experimenting with solar panels, so there is the ability to have a ceiling fan through the night, which is pretty nice, since it’s VERY hot and humid. Otherwise, it's a pretty nice thing to not have the noise of electricity and to be able to disconnect and be present to the birds and other wildlife here. Tikal Inn also has a lovely pool and a restaurant that has, if not exquisite cuisine, at least it’s fresh and hearty. The people working here are super nice. We had two great tours, one during the day with Nixon, to learn as much as we could about the temples and one at dawn to see the sunrise and learn as much as we could about the MANY birds (with Ezekiel). This was a wonderful, relaxing, educational, awe-inspiring experience. Honestly, I think it was the highlight of our visit.

Tikal Inn is a Pleasant, Rustic Respite

We were treated very friendly by the owner, his daughter and the staff. 
2 nights was too short, we felt very relaxing there in the middle of the jungle.
An extra thanks to Ricardo for the complementary things.

Friendly and clean accomodation

We stayed for 3 nights and had an absolutely fantastic time here. The rooms are a great size, comfortable beds and the bungalow we stayed in had such a cool feel to it.

Roxy, Ricardo, Jessica and the whole team made us feel so welcomed and cared for. They had such a personal approach, chatting with guests throughout the stay and catching up with you.

The wildlife around the hotel was fantastic with the owners having an intimate knowledge of the area and more than happy to provide you with info about the wildlife, the area, the historical culture and architecture.

Roxy took us on a wonderful tour of Yaxhal at such a reasonable price. We got to see such a beautiful sunset and learned so much from her about the architecture, ruins and history of the local mayan.

Food in the restaraunt is reasonably priced and delicious. Perfect after a sunrise or sunset walk. 

Would have loved to stay even longer. Can't recommend this place enough 

Wonderful hotel with such friendly staff

This was a really nice experience, right next to the entrance of Tikal, you can hear the howler monkeys through the day. The reason for the review is compliment Jessica who works at the desk for her amazing customer service. She is always so informative, patient and kind to all the guests. She really helped me booking a bus trip and is a real credit to Tikal Inn.

Really nice stay, mazing staff.

This stay felt luxurious in the middle of the jungle.

Like other travelers, I chose to stay within Tikal National Park so that I could enjoy the ruins and the jungle at sunrise and sunset, without the tour groups. In my mind, the trade off was staying at a hotel over my usual budget. The Tikal Inn exceeded my expectations. Unlike others, I didn't think the food was overpriced or lackluster; I thought it was pretty good and reasonably priced, especially given how remote this area is. 

We stayed in a bungalow in the garden area. It was exceptionally comfortable (fantastic bed and quality bedsheets), beautiful, and peaceful. There were 2 queen beds in the room, each with a mosquito net (which we didn't need, thankfully -- no mosquitos when we were there in February). Knowing that electricity was only available certain hours (no one should be surprised by this -- it's clearly explained in the hotel description) I had brought along headlamps and a camping lantern, but these were not necessary inside the room because the hotel provides a big, bright light with a rechargable battery. 

Hot water is available 24/7 and shower water pressure was excellent. Purified water is of course provided by the hotel for drinking and brushing teeth. 

Jessica at the front desk was awesome! Very professional, polite, efficient, and helpful. She arranged the sunrise tour for us and gave us all kinds of tips to help ensure we had a great stay. The hotel is lucky to have her!

Things to keep in mind: the park will NOT allow entry outside the hours of 8am-5pm without a guide, even if you have purchased the sunrise or sunset tickets. You can get a guide at the entrance to the park. We were quoted a $50 fee per group for a 2-hour sunset guide (5-7). Sadly, this somewhat defeats the purpose of wanting to get there early/late to avoid crowds, as you must be with a tour group to enter during these times. I recommend doing the sunrise and sunset tours (if you have to choose only one, do sunrise) but also explore the park on your own during regular hours, so that you can enjoy the silence and solitude among the majestic ruins.

I thought the museums were worth a short visit. The ceramic museum has stunning incense burners, jade-encrusted teeth, and other artifacts found at the site. The other museum has poster-size photos of different stages of the excavation.

Much better than expected

My wife and I recently traveled to Guatemala to visit the Tikal National Park and selected this Inn . There are limited options within the park to stay and we were fortunate to have stayed here. We were not looking for a “five star property “ and were more interested in accommodations that seemed to fit the setting in this amazing site. We were not disappointed with our selection. The staff at the Hotel Tikal Inn was simply among the best I’ve experienced . Simply put they went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. From the waiters in the restaurant and the housekeepers everyone was helpful and hospitable. The hotel itself shows some age but thoroughly clean and  in good operational condition. Don’t expect a diverse selection of entertainment on the television- there are none. But do expect a clean and friendly hotel that blends with its surroundings.
