Although we had the Pres's suite, the other rooms can be recommended as well, spacious and nice, a bit cool perhaps.
What has been stunning was the service at the restaurant: despite large groups, it was very speedy, the reason: Father and son have been constantly checking that everything ran smoothly. That's the way it should be.

First we stayed in another hotel, but did not enjoy our stay there, so we came to Bonifaz without luggage to check the rooms. We asked whether the had a room available and if we could see it. We specificly asked for a quite room. We were shown a nice room, decided to take it and went to get our bags. When we came back they suddenly gave us another room claiming that the other room was occupied already. That was quite rude as the room they were offering us now was smaller and in a part that would be quite noisy. I started a discussion with them and after being stubborn to get a better room, they showed us two other rooms. Still not good. Finally after some more discussion they showed us rooms further in the back of the hotel and more remote. Really big, comfy rooms. We choose one and had a good stay. Excellent shower and great beds. Not cheap, but this room was finally worth the money. There is also a room with several computers you can use free of cost.
We paid Q600 excluding breakfast.

Overall Bonifaz is NOT a good bargain. Pluses are location, ppol and parking ( if you have a car) Great location a few meters from the park but again there are much better options all within a few blocks.
For Guatemala this 700Q (85USD) room is seriously overpriced.
Like most Guatemalan (cheap) Hotels, they turn off the water heater during the day to say a few pennies. Not something you expect from a hotel in this price range. So if you want to take a hot shower anywhere between 10am-8pm you are out of luck. Also the 2 dollar remote control was chained to the table besides the bed. Go figure. Ok, i guess they are worried about their clientele stealing the remotes. Looks pretty TACKY. Not something you should see in a hotel of this price range.

This hotel is rather large in the scheme of things in Xela and even Guatemala as a whole, we prefer boutique or family run properties, we arrive in the evening and were tired and hungry so this place was obvious good choice. The rooms are a tad sparse and not a lot of charm, at least on the front, the there are rooms all the way to rear up a sidestreet. It has everything you would need and a nice staff and cozy lounge area, though no fire in the fireplace on a cold Jan night was too bad. It nails the 3 important factors, clean, safe and good service.
