I came with my husband and a couple friends. Casa La Capilla was absolutely breathtaking. It was a perfect getaway. We booked 2 nights and stayed a 3rd because we loved it so much. The price was amazing for such a beautiful little place. There are 5 rooms all very clean. When we arrived it smelled very nice, even though the hallway is open to the courtyard. Candles were lit all over. Music was playing faintly in the back. There's a small pool in the back courtyard, near the bar and covered outdoor living room. The central courtyard was grassy with a fountain, table and chairs and the cute little chapel, which can hold a very small wedding. The staff were great. They'd keep to themselves if you wanted privacy, but if you needed anything they were happy to help, whether it was dinner suggestions, booking tours, or just getting a bucket of ice (which we seemed to wear them out requesting). I noticed the rooms were cleaned each day thoroughly, even the rooms that hadn't been booked.
Breakfast is included and served on the terrace on the roof. You can choose from continental breakfast, guatemalan (eggs, frijoles, fruit, plantains) or american (pancakes with eggs and fruit) served with bread, coffee/tea and juice. There were enough tables spread out along the terrace, which wrapped around the courtyard, that there is plenty of privacy. There are fire pits with chairs on the terrace and the view of the volcano is awesome.

It is an excellent location at the edge of the old city far enough from most traffic, but still only a few blocks from central park. There are ruins around town to see and excellent restaurants all over, even some that delivered to the hotel. A nursery/garden/cafe is a block away. You could chose a cute coffee shop, sandwich and bakery shops, pizza, italian, thai, steak, french, pretty much anything, all within a few blocks. Antigua Guatemala is a really cute town only 30 minutes or so from Guatemala City. It is where the city folk come for weddings and weekend getaways. Lent and Easter is big in Antigua with a procession in the streets and other activities.

My husband and I got tired of staying with a host family so we decided to stay at a hotel the last few days in Antigua. We walked up to the doorway of La Casa Capilla and took a tour and booked our stay. Amazingly we were the only guests for the 3 nights we were there. The hotel is located south on the street of the arch (next to Meson Panza Verde). There are 5 rooms, each with a bathroom. We stayed in the room with the glass doorways to look out onto the courtyard. There were only 2 things that we would improve about this boutique hotel: basic courtyard without much garden or potted plants (in comparison to other courtyards) and in our room the shower did not get hot water. The rest of the hotel was fabulous; we felt like VIPs! You get free wi-fi, free calls to the US, and made-to-order breakfast every morning. The breakfasts were delicious! You have your choice between an American breakfast (with pancakes) or a Guatemalan breakfast (frijoles, platanos fritos). The hotel creates a home-like feel. It has a pool, roof-top patio, courtyard, and plenty of outdoor living space. The staff (Victoria, William, Yolanda) were exceptional! They made us feel right at home and were very friendly. One of the things that I liked about this particular hotel was that the entrance was a gated door (so no tourists could just walk around). In addition, once we were in at night, William closed the main door for a secure night stay. Since we were the only guests, we felt like it was our home and we could even play our own music that played throughout the entire house. I almost forgot about the other wonderful things about this location: no street noise from autobuses or tuktuks; it is very quiet, a fantastic view of Volcan de Agua, there is a private chapel there (some people have had weddings there for a small group), and close to a great little restaurant Casa cafe Ana. I highly recommend this boutique hotel for personal service and a private stay!

We would go back for the breakfasts in the courtyard alone. Wonderful fresh fruit and good coffee what a way to start your day. After a hard day of sight seeing, comeback to Spanish guitar music in the court yard and relax a bit. The staff were helpful and accomidating even getting a lime from the lime tree for our gin and tonic. We would recomend La Capilla to anyone.

Una casa indeed! After a long trip out in the fields... we had the feeling we came home. Great shower. Hot and with pressure. Very peacefull spot. Waking up with the sound of birds. Healthy and delicious breakfast on the rooftop terrace with volcano Agua as a view. Next to the lovely pool we had a private Pilates class with Bette (the manager). We enjoyed the confidence. Could take drinks and write them down ourselves. Books all over the place. And not to forget the sauna! The smell of fire, essential oils... . I could go on and on. It was the perfect end of our trip.
