We spent Holy Week with Jeanette, Aurora and the staff and could not have asked for better service. We were treated like members of the family. The location next to the Arch is perfect for getting around town. We will definitely stay at the Convent on our next trip.

Very central,nice patio,large rooms in colonial style. Good service. A nice fountain in the patio,but without water. Good breakfast served just outside our room. If you are into old original colonial style accommodation,this is it!!!

This beautiful hotel is perfectly located below the Arc in the middle of all of the shopping and restaurants in Antigua. The rooms are beautiful, the restaurant is wonderful, and the courtyard picturesque. The staff is very accommodating and always ready to help. I will most definitely stay here my next visit to Antigua.

This hotel is basic but centrally located to great places to eat and only 2 blocks to the central plaza. The staff are most obliging and will do anything to help you. Breakfast is cereal and toast but the kitchen staff will happily cook you an omelet or prepare you eggs anyway you want them. Because it is in an... More

Nice hotel, good food, great location. A little pricey. Service was great to surly. I had a reservation for a room with 3 beds but they didn't have any rooms left like that. I got aggressive so they gave me adjacent 2 rooms for the same price as the original room. Their car park guy managed to scratch my big... More

This hotel is pretty and has a very interesting history. The service was good. I was only there one night. I'm writing this because the room was very noisy, I think there were windows that didn't close all the way, and the curtains weren't completely lined so there was a lot of light coming in all night. Which was odd,... More

Over the last three years I have stayed at Santa Catalina Hotel a number of times and eaten at the restaurant. I have also read a number of reviews about this property on tripadvisor so here is my take on the hotel. This is a very old building in the heart of Antigua Guatemala so location is excellent you are... More

I stayed here for 5 nights. The hotel staff are really great! They are very warm, friendly and helpful. That compensates for other drawbacks of this hotel. The rooms are very cold, humid and dark. It's a bit over-priced. Due to its ultra-high ceilings, the small electric heater is not very useful. So it's very cold at night. The worst... More

The best part of this hotel, by far, is its staff. My friend and I arrived late for a tour, and the gentleman who helped us park literally ran with us to show us the tour office! What service. The concierge was very nice and friendly and everyone was pleasant overall. The rooms were a bit disappointing. There were a... More

We were probably not the easiest guests to deal with - we lost our key, came in late every night (after the main doors were closed), and giggled a lot. But the staff here were wonderfully accomodating, and a few hours into the trip started calling us "Caliente" and "Picante" because they couldn't remember our names. Our maid made us... More
