Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of modern and classic rooms, with some overlooking the pool area and a fireplace, while others are simpler and smaller, but overall clean and spacious. The service is friendly and accommodating, with attentive staff who assist with various needs. The location is superb, with access to outdoor restaurants and well-maintained gardens within walking distance to major attractions. The dining experience features local favorites and Latin American tastes, though guests may find the selection of tropical fruits and Guatemalan breads delightful. The facilities are well-kept and offer a relaxing atmosphere.
The hotel is a beautiful gem, perfectly located just a few blocks from the central square. The rooms could use better lighting for reading, but they do have air-conditioning. The staff is friendly and efficient, but shy when it comes to special requests. The dining options are fantastic, with a variety of delicious choices. The value for money is fair, and the atmosphere invites you to extend your stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very modern, with a unique open-air courtyard that provided a quiet outdoor vibe away from street noises. The location on 4th Ave South was convenient, but there were some noise issues on the first night that affected the overall experience. The dining was a bit pricey for local standards but offered a good selection of quality food.
My stay at the hotel was delightful with its classic Colonial rooms that are clean, spacious, and embody the city's architectural charm. The service was incredibly accommodating, especially with bilingual staff to assist. The location is perfect for exploring Antigua, and the dining options offer a mix of local and American cuisine. However, the facilities were somewhat average and lacked modern amenities.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms offer private patios, excellent privacy, and are conveniently located at the end of a line of rooms near an outside door. The proximity to an enticing lap pool was a great bonus. However, the dining options could be improved. The staff was incredibly polite, helpful, and accommodating, providing exceptional service throughout my stay. The location is perfect, offering a quiet retreat near the central square yet just a short walk away. The delicious dining experience and well-maintained pool area added to the overall enjoyment. The value for money was reasonable, though some areas could be enhanced.
