Charming

I stayed in three hotels in Antigua, and this one was by far my favorite. My room was on the second floor, facing a small courtyard in the back of the hotel. It was lovely and clean. The courtyards are full of greenery and fountains, with places to sit and read or lounge. Their buffet style brreakfast is solid; tea, coffee, snacks, and filtered water are available throughout the day. The roof terrace has an incredible view of the town and volcanoes. The only drawbacks are that my WiFi was a little dodgy, and the beds aren't the cushiest. I also had a hard time finding an outlet, and had to move some furniture to plug in my phone- this could use some updating. But overall, I had a really pleasant experience, and felt right at home as a solo traveler.

Very good boutique hotel with friendly and good service central to all the sights of the City.

Boutique hotel that offers great friendly service a healthy sized breakfast and good rooms. The hotel is very interesting - you can breakfast anywhere you like, but our favourite places we in the open air atrium and the roof. The layout is interesting in itself with rooms located around the atrium and stairs going up to the roof. Here you can get a great view over the city to the hills and volcanoes surrounding Antigua city. Breakfast leans towards typical Guatemalan: a black bean dish, fried plantains, eggs, fruit. There was also a granola mixed with honey which was really nice. A great place to stay. We were breakfast only, but there are so many good restaurants within a few minutes walk.

Welcoming courtyard hotel with comfortable character rooms

Friendly efficient staff. Well maintained in a comfortable quirky style. Breakfast OK in buffet style. Free tea/coffee, water and hibiscus drink through the day. Comfortable seating on roof terrace and patios to relax. Room was small but lots of character. Ask for room at the back to avoid noise from breakfast. As with any hotel with internal courtyards there is some noise but it was quiet at night.

Good Location but poor service and no A/C.

Our two night stay here was ok, but not up to the level of the other 5 places we stayed at in Central America. First of all, there is no A/C and on humid nights like the ones we were there, it made sleeping tough. The solution is to Joe. The windows but that means you can hear everything g that is going on in the courtyard and they can hear you. Beds were hard and bathroom, especially the shower was cramped. Service was not very pleasant either. No cheery greetings when we came and left and when we asked if we could get change for some local currency, they said they couldn't do it. Yet, every other place we stayed at could. Location is great and the place is definitely authentic.

Room Tip: Bottom floor is better as steps are tough to negotiate.

Beautiful hotel in the middle of everything

This hotel is well decorated and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. You almost feel like you are staying in a museum. Highly recommended for couples. While there is no AC in the rooms, it was not needed for our stay.

Nice place but watch out for breakfast - they are stingy

Spent one nigh here. Really cute place. In the morning for breakfast I ordered Eggs and my colleague pancakes. I asked for an extra pancake, so 4 instead of 3 and was informed that was not possible and they would have to make a full plate and charge me Q50 (approx USD7). I said ok because obviously they were not customer focused. Then I asked for an additional piece of bread and was refused then I asked again and was given the of the load. Let’s not forget I have breakfast included and have paid additionally for the pancakes. I don’t understand how management trains the staff. I’m sure this would not happen in other places.

Railway station

I really wanted to like this place... The owner obviously put a lot of work in to the quaint ambiance. But the rooms are hot and stuffy with no air flow and outside each room are very convenient tables with power outlets. You have no choice but open all your windows. Day and night digital nomads, millennials and remote workers will park their butt outside your room.... Talking for hours on phone and zoom to anyone that will listen. Last night at 2am a guy was talking with his boss 4 feet from our bed. No matter how nicley you ask people to use public areas you are told you have no right to control the area 4 feet from where you sleep. Staff could not careless.

Good stay

Centrally located in old town Antigua, close to all eating joints. Very charming place with courtyards and a great rooftop. Very good service. We did not enjoy the rooms a lot, they could definitely use an uplift in paint while still maintaining their quaintness. We had trouble with hot water too.

Central

Very nice 'colonial' style hotel, very central literally round the corner from the towns famous arc. Room was large and spacious. Breakfast was ok different options both days i stayed . Friendly reception. Only thing to note you need to book their shuttle service 24hours in advance.
