“Average experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

I had high expectations about this property because of some recommendations from friends but it was just an average experience. The room I stayed in was not designed to work. Although it has wifi there is no desk or a suitable table to set up a laptop or to read. The chair and the small round table available are a torture for the back and the legs. The light in the room is very poor and makes it very hard for reading. The service at the restaurant was good and waiters were always available to help. I appreciated this. The front desk staff were ready to help although not always successful. I tried to book transportation to Guatemala City but they only found options that departed Antigua very late. I had to hitchhike with a colleague.

“Good place to stay, friendly staff, good, sometimes great, food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

The hotel is built to look and feel like a village and largely succeeds at that. Rooms are dark, and could use updating, but they were fine otherwise, and reasonably large. We had meetings here, and took all our meals in the restaurant. The breakfast was OK, but not inspiring. Lunch and dinner were much more interesting and well-prepared, with different specialties each meal. It's at least a 20 minute walk into town, but our group was happy for the exercise.

“noisy and unfriendly”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

We had 1 disappointing night at the hotel. The rooms are cold and dark with very uncomfortable beds and pillows, The bathroom is cold. The food is ok but while we had breakfast included, the breakfast buffet was NOT included. At the price OUTRAGEOUS! The hotel is in a terrible location: too far from anywhere. The pool is cold and small. There is better for charm, OR luxury OR authenticity OR value. Would not stay there again

“Nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

the location and the exterior are excellent. The garden is very nice, the restaurant has a view of the volcanoes (one of which were quite active). The rooms need refurbishing (the bathtub was rusted)ç

“A charming place but surely not the best one in Antigua Guatemala”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

I spent first night in Guatemala at this hotel, it felt like going back in time to colonial era when we arrived in the evening. The layout is really unusual, like a village and you just can't stop wandering around the complex for a while. The hotel itself is a bit away from Antigua Guatemala centre, rooms were clean, decorated as well in colonial style, but don't expect good soundproofing. If you have bad luck, this can be an issue (not in my case). Staff was accomodating, buffet breakfast reaching maximum 3 stars with no option of ordering a proper espresso coffee (although Antigua Guatemala is one of the best regions for growing finest Arabica coffee beans in the world). But this applies to almost all places I visited in Guatemala, Belize and Mexiko recently. So to sum it up - you won't go wrong with this hotel, but there are surely better places to stay in Antigua Guatemala.
