This hotel was recommended by another property sold out for Semana Santa (Easter Holy Week). I called Casa Noble directly, and Susana (owner/property mgr?) was very helpful over the phone. I booked two rooms. I did ultimately see this hotel listed in Lonely Planet with favorable comments.
Upon entering the hotel, there is a beautiful courtyard, and the property looks rather exquiste. There are also beautiful views of the area volcanoes. Both of our rooms were on the second floor, and were large. The room I was staying in did lack some privacy because you had to keep the windows open (few places with AC in highlands), and people walking up the stairs could see into our room, but not the other ones. I have to agree with the earlier comment about cleanliness--it could have been better, but I have certainly seen worse in more expensive hotels.
The compliementary breakfast was good, and there was free WiFi. Overall, I enjoyed my experience, and the low prices made it great value. I would recommend the this hotel.
Side notes:
Holy Week was an incredible experience, and I would highly recommend going to Antigua during this time. We booked the Pacaya Volcano tour thru Elizabeth Bell (best tour company in the area), and it was absolutely incredible---climbing to top of an active volcano.
