“Friendly, Great Value, Good Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I checked out 10-15 moderately priced hotels in Antigua on a scouting trip for groups and this was the lowest cost and best value for travelers who want a private bath. The average demographic for guests seemed to be older American with previous travel in Latin America. In the lobby there is an altar which hints at religious proselytizing, but this prejudice proved entirely misfounded. Like all houses converted into hotels in Antigua you should check out the room before renting because they vary in size, price, furniture, lighting, availability of electrical outlets and airiness. I recommend a room overlooking the callejon unless you believe that it is possible to avoid hearing roosters and early morning traffic noises in Antigua in moderately priced hotels. We negotiated a reasonable rate for a week. The owners are friendly and helpful. Coming home at night you have to knock at the door, but someone always arrived immediately to open the door. After several nights we were trusted with a key. The rooms are clean and basic; most of their competitors charge more for rooms that are not as desirable. A few times they were a little late in cleaning the room, but as soon as we asked it was done. Upstairs the roof has a nice view and is great for lunch. There are comfortable chairs and sofas in the U shaped covered areas overlooking the courtyard which is open at one end on the second and third floors. They don't have breakfast, but Fernando's, a great coffee shop, is 15 meters away at the corner and serves excellent Guatemalteco, American style, and fruit and granola breakfasts. Fernando's opens at 7:00 which is relatively early for Guatemala, has wifi, great coffee, and a friendly staff. Within a 5 minutes radius you can eat Guatemalteco, Mexican, American, Californian, Italian, French, German, Indian, Chinese or Spanish food. Prices vary greatly. Los Nazarenos is a two minute walk to La Merced, a beautiful church which is a landmark and has food vendors selling cheap, tasty food outside. Barbequed corn has become somewhat scarce on Antigua streets in the last few years, but you can get it on weekends at the La Merced courtyard. Los Nazarenos is a little more than 5 minute walk to El Arco, Parque Central, Bus station,local Mercado and the Mercado for Tourists. At night, coming from the Parque Central, it is better to walk to Fernando's and turn up the callejon (narrow one-way street) because the callejon is poorly lit and Los Nazarenos is almost at the end of a long block. The rest of the walk from the Parque Central is on busy, well-travelled streets. If you would rather pay $10 to $30 extra per night for everything to be in order, then don't stay here. If you want a well-located, reasonably priced hotel with friendly, honest hosts- Los Nazarenos is an excellent choice.

“Very friendly budget hostel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

Los Nazarenos is a small familiar budget hostel with a great location (very close to La Merced).
The building looks like an old colonial house, with all the rooms surrounding the central patio. Our room was big enough, with one big bed, two bedside tables, one other table and one drawer. The bathroom was small, but everything was working perfectly (good hot shower).
The hostel does not have breakfast, but there is a very nice café (Fernando´s) next door with a good and cheap breakfast and an unforgettable coffee. We did not really use the kitchen but we did use the terrace upstairs, for a nice sunbathing. Still, the best of the Los Nazarenos was the attentiveness and sympathy of the owners and staff, and we would therefore definitely go back if we were to return to Antigua.

“Friendly family owned hotel and good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

The hotel has a good location in a quiet sidestreet, just a block away from the La Merced cathedral. Close to some nice restaurants and breakfast places. The rooftop terrace has great views over La Merced. The owners are very friendly, interested and forthcoming.

There are lots of seating areas with chairs and sofas that look out over the central patio, which adds light to all levels. Free drinking water (agua pura) is provided in the hotel lobby.

The light rooms sport good beds, albeit a bit high, lots of room and plenty of closets and tables to put your stuff. Clean towels and bed linens are provided, and the room is cleaned daily. There's ensuite bathrooms with great (hot!) showers. Though there is not much room near or on the bathroom sink to put your own toiletries.

We prefer this hotel over the cramped, dark rooms next door in Casa Cristina, where your reservation might be a gamble.

Room Tip: Room 207 is on the street, so you might hear some traffic early in the morning (6:30 am onwards).

“Hottest water,quiet,central, friendliest owner”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This hostel is the best for couples on budget but with private bathroom - about 200 quetzal (Antigua is the most expensive place in Guatemala), owner is the nicest person and helps with anything you want, really quiet family place.
Located well by 6 avenue (central in town together with 5 ave) and La Merced chapel (nice place to visit for great view of all three volcanoes).
The place has very nice quiet inner garden and a lot of light compared to very nice but really dark casa cristina nearby.
The shower was the best of the whole 3 month trip, real hot water without the annoying electric unit!!Important cause Antigua gets pretty cold at evenings.
on the corner of the street (callehon campo seco) and 7 ave they have the best coffee in town.
Enjoy guatemala...
