We loved our stay at Hotel Genessis! The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, the pictures don’t do it justice. This hotel was one of the highlights of our time in Antigua. Staff was very friendly and helpful and available 24/7. The breakfast made to order each morning was absolutely delicious. The rooms were beautiful, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The beds were soft and the air conditioner worked wonderfully. There is also rooftop access with amazing volcano views and the interior of the hotel is just breathtaking. The hotel is a little outside of the center of town at a dead end street, so it’s very quiet. The location is still convenient and you can easily get to the center of everything in about a 15 minute walk or 5 minute Uber. I would definitely stay here again and was only disappointed that our stay here wasn’t longer!

A nice little hotel in Antigua

The hotel is very pretty and the pictures show that. But it's several blocks away from the main square which means walking over the rocky streets which we did several times a day - or renting a taxi or tut tut. The morning breakfast was nice with coffee so you don't have to travel. The beds were not too comfortable and I would give it an overall 6 out of 10.

This hotel is amazing! It’s only a 10-15 minute walk from the main plaza. The area is nice and quiet. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the price is a lot cheaper than staying closer to the plaza. The courtyard is stunningly beautiful with all the plants and flowers. I have never seen anything like it. The rooms are very spacious and clean. There is a rooftop where you get a beautiful view of the city and the volcanoes. Don’t think about it twice and book it!

The hotel has potential to be a great place but it has no amenities at all. Unfriendly staff . Has a great court yard but is useless. There is no place to rest and enjoy the beautiful nature

There were bedbugs we could immediately see when we checked in. Based on the language barrier I could not get a refund on 2 nights paid (240USD). Of course I reached out to expedia for a refund. Due to the language barrier, customer service could not get a n immediate answer.

Service from this property is top notch. Staff is so friendly and kind. Free breakfast is included. I was able to check in early and they held my luggage after check out and allowed me to stay on the property until my shuttle came later in the day. Internet was extremely slow in my room. The area can also be a little sketchy. I was ok leaving the hotel during the day when it was light out but I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking in that area at night. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to the Central square park.

The property is clean, beautiful and well kept. The staff are attentive, though communication was a slight challenge with my poor spanish speaking ability. Overall really nice people there though and we made it work. Its a little bit of a walk to the town center--about 15 minutes, but this made the property really quiet, which was nice. Having AC was a huge plus. And the garden was really gorgeous. Breakfast was included and was very good. It has a rooftop but no real hangout area up there. Still cool to be able to view the city though. The front desk arranged a safe ride to the airport for a reasonable price--about $35 USD. Would recommend
