“Antigua's Best!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

If you go to Antigua, stay at Posada La Merced. Great value and excellent service! Volcan de Fuego erupted the night I arrived and the next morning I watched it burp ash from the hotel rooftop! All the staff is very friendly, especially Jorge at the front desk. I was able to book the room through their website, and the wifi worked well. Both the courtyard and rooftop gardens were colorful and made for a relaxing atmosphere. Can't go wrong staying here!

“Posada La Merced, Antigua, Guatemala”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We've been to Antigua many times over the past 10 years and always stay at Posada La Merced. It's a great value for the money. Located on 7a N. it's a 10 minute walk to the central park and close by to many great restaurants. It's quite, clean and next door to the world's best coffee and chocolate (roasted daily) at Fernando's Kaffe. The owner, Gerlinde, is great and can also help you with any of your travel needs or questions. For just a few dollars more than regular room prices, I would totally recommend the "apartment" on the top floor. Complete with two full walls of windows looking out over the town and volcanoes Agua, Fuego and Acatenango. Be sure and check out the rooftop for a peacefull place to read or just relax.

Room Tip: Check out the "apartment" on the top floor with windows overlooking the town and volcanoe...

We've stayed here for 3 days with 9 people and it was the best hotel we've had in Guatemala! Relaxt atmosphere, comfortable rooms and in a relaxt street. Best thing is the rooftop terrace! Make sure you watch the sun go down the volcanoes from there!

“My favorite posada in Antigua”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

Have stayed here numerous times over the last 10 years. Great quite location a few blocks from the center square. Fernando's fresh roasted coffee is next door. Great for groups traveling together but should book in advance. Always my first choice when visiting Guatemala. I

Room Tip: Back of hotel less noisy but all are quiet

“great place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

We have stayed at Posada La Merced numerous times, and love it. The rooms are clean and quiet, and the staff is great. The apartment on the third floor offers great views of volcanoes Agua and Fuego. If you need assistance planning travel around or out of the country, the owner, Gerlinde Henning, will be happy to help you plan your trip.

Room Tip: the apartment on the third floor has great views!
