“A peaceful oasis close to the center of town.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 February 2010

Some recent reviews have been negative, so we thought we would add our opinion. We have stayed at Casa Capuchinas several times over the past few years and have always found the place to our liking. It's tucked away behind a wall across from the Capuchinas ruins on 2 Avenida Norte, about 4 blocks from the central plaza. There are 8 rooms, and the ones to the back of the property on the upper level are especially nice; they are larger and probably quieter than the others, but all the rooms appeared to be decent. It's an old building with a central garden, and the place fits well with the colonial atmosphere of Antigua. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff were most helpful (but did not seem to speak English, if that's important to you), and the breakfast was more than ample (either tipico or Americano). We paid $79 per night, with breakfast, and the price seems like good value for money at that rate. I expect that prices are higher around Semana Santa, but that's probably true for most other places in Antigua. We would happily go back again.

“Grossly Overpriced”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2009

The Casa Capucinas is a walled compound, with rooms surrounding a small garden. As the rooms are crammed together on two stories, you are at the mercy of your neighbors as far as noise goes. The courtyard/garden is pretty, but too small to allow for any privacy. The rooms are attractive in that they are restored period pieces, with furniture to match, and with updated bathrooms, but they are a bit dark. Breakfast was a joke for this price; some warmish toast, a scanty omellete, a bit of fruit, some refried beans, and generic coffee.
If you were paying $60, this would be a good deal, given the grossly inflated prices in grossly overtouristed Antigua. But at around $100 for a double, it's pretty much of a rip-off. There are certainly better deals to be had.

“Nice, but......”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2009

We spent a night at Capuchinas; the hotel is pretty, beautiful gardens and very quiet. Located about 6 blocks from the main Plaza.The staff was excellent. Our room (#3?) was small; had problem with the toilet despite that we were careful not to put papers in it. There are nicer rooms at the back away from the street. We stayed in Antigua for a week and looked at quite a few accomodations. We
thought this was overpriced.
I would stay there again if the rate is lower. Currently they charge $96 for a room. You can get similar hotels for $60-70.

“Very quiet, peaceful hotel in the center of Antigua”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2009

I recently stayed here for two nights with my mother on our first trip to Antigua. We can highly recommend the hotel. As soon as you step through the door into the courtyard, a feeling of tranquility surrounds you with nicely kept gardens. Our room was clean and spacious. It was a bit cold but the staff kindly brought us extra blankets. The level of customer service was high and overall this was one of the best value for money hotels that I experienced in Guatemala. I would not hesitate to recommend the hotel to others.

“Great Value and very friendly!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2009

Visiting Antigua for the first time and was a little nervous, we had many members of extended family coming in town for the wedding. We occupied most of the house the staff was very helpful in transportation as well as accommodating for the older generations in our group. The rooms were beautiful and the grounds well taken care of. Breakfast was outstanding, offering both Guatemalan style as well as more "American" style food. Can't wait to return!
