藍鬣蜥青年旅社

As mentioned before, best choice of accommodation if you are in Copan. Value for money this place is really a gem.

Prior to making my Copan Ruinas accommodation booking, my travel guide lonely planet read "As far as backpacker accommodations go, you aren't likely to be more comfortable at too many other spots in Central America." After reading the above sentence I booked my accommodation at Iguana Azul straight away without bothering to check alternatives. When I arrived and stayed a couple of days at this hostel every word that lonely planet had written about Iguana Azul was spot on!. I travelled all the countries of Central America during this trip and only wished if there was just one Iguana Azul in each of them! From the ever welcoming smiles of the staff, the impeccably clean every thing, amazing breakfasts, complimentary drinking water..etc. etc. to helpful, resourceful and super organized owner Howard. It felt like a very well oiled hosteling system geared towards the comfort of travelers. If there was a prize for the best hostel; Iguana Azul would be right at the top! :)

The rooms and bathrooms were kept very clean, relaxing/laid back and fun atmosphere, lots of info on local food and things to do. Staff was friendly but not intrusive. No curfew, staff waits by the door and opens when you knock

I loved staying at the iguana azul! I felt safe because it is located in a nice area. It was well kept and clean. It had all the amenities I needed. The owner speaks English and Spanish and he was very helpful with my stay. There’s a cafe next door for guests and the food was incredible. It had the best view in Copan Reinas. Highly recommend. Will be back :)

This was one of the best hostels (maybe the best!) I have visited on my 5 month in Central America! Clean, super friendly staff, amazing breakfast, helpful information, free water, hot showers, super easy! Also if you are not into hostels and you like hotels more, just take a private room and you will feel comfortable! Definitely recommend to stay thee if you are in Copan!
