“Manager and staff provide an axcellent stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011
4
people found this review helpful

I traveled last summer with a mission group, my first time. Because I have stayed in many motel chains in the US, I had mediocre expectations of my accommodations. Radolpho and his great staff went way beyond what is generally expected by Americans. I felt like I was a guest in his home rather than a customer. I have never been treated with as much respect and genuine warmth. The meals were excellent! He and his staff truly provide the best possible experience anyone could ask for. Thank you so much for making me feel "at home"! Will see you again, my friend.

“Very friendly staff, comfortable room and fine location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2011

As Ricardo from hotel Cirilo did not have rooms, he arranged the nearby hotel Candelaria for us. We were greated very friendly by the staff. Our first room was fine, but quite noisy. It appeared that there was a big group that went to a wedding and our room was not situated very good so we woke up when they came back.

The next morning we asked them to change rooms and we got a great room. Much better location and very spacious. We stayed there for several nights and were the only guests. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast is good. There is wifi and a computer for internet.
When we arrived our diving gear was still wet from the diving in Mexico. They were very friendly and let us dry our gear on the roof terrace. When it started to rain a bit during the day they even got it inside for us (we were in town).
The centre of town is a 10-15 minute walk, but the tuk tuks are very cheap (cheaper than taxis) and come by the hotel very often.
We had a voucher from Tripadvisor so that the hotel was USD 69 per night. All hotels in Antigua are more expensive than hotels in other Guatemalan cities. We enjoyed our stay very much and would like to thank Moses and Rodolfo especially!

I remember you well. Although I tried to be a very good host and explained you all the history around and took you and family to places... I am so sorry you are so mean and didn´t understood our country.

“Great Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2010

I stayed here with a large group in 2007 for two nights. The rooms were nicely situated and clean (although we did have one person, out of a group of 20, report bed bugs). Location is great and they have a nice courtyard. Reception staff were friendly and got us checked in/out on time.

This definitely isn't anything luxurious, but if you're looking for an average/'middle of the road' place to have as your 'home base' in a convenient and safe location, this is a good option.

I would recommend this hotel if your expectations are in line with what I mention above.
