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

This hotel was wonderful! We stayed in a triple room in the new annex with five people. Great shower that was huge! It's in a great location not too far from the indigenous markets and only a few blocks from the square. On Saturday night the band on the street was a little loud, but they were gone early and...

This hotel has great local flavor being a convent built in the 1600's. The rooms are huge and the staff is delightful. The central fountain is beautiful and many of our group had pictures there. The beds were comfortable and despite the comments about the bells, they did not bother me at all. We had a room in the center... More

I have booked many hotels for our group of 40+ medical personnel in Antigua. Most have been good experiences. But Hotel Convento is by far the best and we now consider it our group's HOME, reserving rooms many times a year. The management is very responsive to our needs and makes an extraordinary effort to accommodate unusual requests. This "old... More

I should have paid heed to the low rating on Trip Advisor, but I had a good rate at Convento Santa Catalina and decided the location was good. While it is across the street from Frida's in reality the location is horrible. The church bell rings loudly every 30 minutes and a good night sleep is impossible! I would never... More
