“I'd Choose Elsewhere Next Time”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2011

Posada el Antano is in a fairly good location, only one block from the Arco de Santa Catalina and its many good restaurants and shopping opportunities. The public areas are attractive and offer a respite from the noise of the street. The wireless internet is also a nice feature.

However, I'd choose another place to stay the next time around in Antigua. For one, the noise at night from the Kafka Hostel/bar is a real drawback. It enters into the inner courtyard where all the rooms are located. Next, if staying more than a few nights, the very limited breakfast choices quickly grow old. In terms of the bathroom in Room #12, I wasn't thrilled with the mold on the shower, the flush mechanism on the toilet malfunctioning all the time, nor with having to wait 3 or 4 minutes for hot water. Finally, please be advised that the hotel charges a 12% (yes, 12%!) surcharge for using credit cards to pay for the stay. If you do stay there, remember to bring along cash to settle the bill.

“Nice hotel--terrible neighbors”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2011

This hotel is fine. The service is nice, the location is central, and the rooms are adequate. The problem is the neighbor--Kafka Hostel--which is awful. Every night the music is loud and the "guests" are noisy. It is impossible to sleep. The staff at Kafka has no respect for the remainder of the neighborhood. The posada's staff is ineffectual and the police are of no help. If you're interested in living the 90s slacker "wish-I-could-smoke-weed-and-listen-to-Merengue-for-the-rest-of-my-life" dream, this is your place. If you want to sleep at night, look elsewhere.

“BEST SERVICE EVER INCLUDING 2 5 STAR RESORTS I HAVE STAYED.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 July 2010

Second visist to Antigua and I have found where I will stay. The amentities were very nice and the staff even better. It is uncommon to be served with professionalism these days but almost impossible to find service rendered out of true love and humilty. Absolutely great.
