The people were great and very helpful in figuring out how to get there from Guatemala City. The room was nice. Not luxury, but wonderful for the price. We had a room with a private bathroom and hot water. It was also very central to the main parque, which was nice. Since it was at the end of the street,... More

I really liked this hotel. The location is great, only 3 blocks from the central park. The owners are extremely nice and helpful, and they always greet you with a smile. Breakfast is included and is good too. There are a lot of beautiful plants and flowers and hummingbirds. At night, the place is lit up with candles. The bathrooms... More

Among the affordable places, this one is very lovely. The staff are super kind, their garden courtyard romantic and cozy. Breakfast is included and the place is very secure and quiet compared to others. It gets a little cold! More

Arriving at night, I found my room really dark, small and dingy. The dead end street was kind of creepy as well. The worst part of my one night stay was the noise. A drunk man yelling from yard of the people that lived next door and then as he quieted down the guys who were staying next door sat... More

I arrived bedraggled from my 6 hour bus ride from San Salvador to this quiet haven, the halls illuminated by tea lights, and the owner waiting up for me. Even though it was the rainy season, I took advantage of the covered porch to watch the lightning illuminate the volcano during the storm. Staff are friendly and helpful. Close to... More

This is the second hostel we have stayed in in Antigua (the other being El Hostal). While both are good Hotel la Casa de Don Ismael is the better of the two. The service is excellent and we feel very well looked after by the Guatemalan family who run it. The rooms are spotless, the beds comfy and they have... More

Don Ismael is great, so is his staff. A cute, basic, home style hotel on a quite (dead-end) street so it is not noisy from the street. Nice breakfast and coffee included in our rate. They picked up us at the airport for an extra fee, highly suggested if it's your first time going to GUA. More

Found the previous comments right here at this web site and upon arrival in Antigua Guatemala, spoke directly with Don Ismael. The Hotel is part of the whole experience. It is right next to everything and just a short walk out the door takes you back five or six hundred years in time. The rooms are clean, the beds comfortable... More

Ok, here is the deal; the rooms are a tad musty, there is a lot of Jesus around in the form of statues, pictures, etc., the price is cheap, beds ok, breakfast just fine, but the real winner here is the Don himself. This man is a bona fide good guy; his eyes just spill good will. He arranged an... More
