The location was perfect. The staff was amazing. The only issue I had is that there’s no windows in our room and there was a musty smell that we had to put up with during our stay. I don’t know if it’s common in the area or just because the ventilation wasn’t great at this particular property. We put up with it because we were only there for a couple days, but if I was there much longer, I probably would have had to change locations because it was triggering my husband‘s asthma.

This is a fantastic place to stay convenient to everything in Antigua. The only update would be to set quiet times as the common areas are small and it will be nice to have breakfast without having someone blasting their cell phone.

During my recent stay in Antigua, I found the staff at Hot Chipilin to be exceptional. They were friendly and willing to go the extra mile. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. It was a welcome respite from the day’s activities. I would like to thank the staff for making my vacation such a pleasant one.

Hotel Hot Chilipin was a fantastic place to stay in Antigua. The beds were truly comfortable—some of the best sleep we’ve had while traveling—and the rooms were spotless. The bathroom was very clean, the hot water worked perfectly, and having drinking water readily available was a huge plus. The staff deserve special recognition. Everyone was kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. We accidentally checked out an hour late, and instead of stress or pressure, the staff handled it with grace and kindness. That level of understanding really says a lot about the heart of this place. Breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day, and the terrace is absolutely amazing—a perfect spot to relax, enjoy the view, or unwind in the evening. The furniture throughout the hotel is comfortable and thoughtfully arranged, making it feel cozy rather than just functional. We stayed in the loft room with the bed, and it was incredible—unique, comfortable, and well designed. The AC worked very well (not always guaranteed in Antigua), which made a big difference for comfort. On top of all that, the location is excellent—close to everything, easy to walk to restaurants, parks, and shops, yet still peaceful. This hotel combines comfort, cleanliness, warmth, and location perfectly. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Antigua.

Claudia was helpful. They have much difficulty with English, here. We needed our AC unit turned down because it was so cold, and they turned it off. We could never seem to explain we needed it turned back on, but at a more comfortable temperature. Be aware that if you stay here, you may have some communication issues that will effect your comfort. Breakfast was okay.

Our room was in the basement so in the morning I couldn’t see the sunlight. Staff refused to let us store our bags there after check out while we waited for the next hotel check in— they said we would have to pay for an additional night to hold bags. Shared bathroom with no hot water in the sink. It was clean and breakfast was good but not worth the price.

It was my first time to visit and stay in Antigua. Hot Chipilin is a cute boutique private hotel have a view of Volcan Agua on sunny days, beautiful and enjoyed its view with great coffee served. I would come back to this hotel, I really liked it. Only a few things I experienced were not met with my expectations, but I learned them so it won't be problems for next time. 1. You need to leave a key to hotel staffs for having your room cleaned. I would not have a problem with it however I was not advised ahead of time that I needed to leave my room key so I did not get my room cleaned, unfortunately. 2. Leaving your suitcases with Front Desk after check out costs Q100 if until after 14:00. This is new to me, it is believed that a hotel common system allows you to leave your suitcases with front desk at free of charge (tips to porter) but this hotel asks Q100 to store your stuffs till later. For example, I stayed till a bit after 18:00. I loved their breakfast and coffee served delicious, overall, this is a great place to stay. All staffs are friendly, they give you 2 bottled water in room and there is water tank that you can refill your bottles in common area, which was very appreciative. Thank you!

The place is fine for a one-night stay. The price-to-quality ratio isn’t the best, as it felt a bit overpriced for what you get. However, the location is a strong advantage.

The main issue is with Room size. It was only about 70 to 80 sq ft excluding bathroom which was about 30 sq ft. The room had a queen bed that left only 2.5 ft to 3.5 ft room all around the bed. The room no 7 did have glass door and a curtain from inside. Would not recommend this place to anyone, this is more suitable for back packers... Staff was good, issue there

The most horrible experience ever. Not a single night table to put things like the phone and wallet , the main door do not open widely and also the door in the shower , the shower was absolutely baddd, but the worst part is that the bunk beds did not have safety fence so in few words no one can sleep on top of those bunk beds because they may fall and have a serious accident. Never go to that place.

The listing is misleading. We booked a “standard” room and when we got there we were told we needed to share a bathroom (that is not “standard” when it comes to hotels), and the room was in a windowless basement. It was also dirty and smelly. . We could only be there long enough to book some place else. The lady at the front desk was unhelpful and did not even bat an eye when we informed we were leaving due to the poor conditions and it not being what we thought given their listing. Made us lose our money and spend twice for the same stay. Not recommended.
