Spring break

Stayed for 6 nights with my daughter and her friend. What a unique property. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The breakfasts were outstanding. Everyone at the hotel was extremely helpful and ready to support in anything. The only wish for the future is to fix the shower pressure. It was doable but low.

So the staff is super nice. It is so loud and stuffy in the rooms all night. I will add a picture of the toilet so you see. Mosquitos in the room and no net or fan or air conditioner. Didn’t know how to help me get dinner. Not close or safe enough to walk alone to the main restaurant area. Nice people but no way would I stay there again.

Great Little Place away from the Mainstream

This is a very small but tastefully set out hotel in a quiet part of Antigua Guatemala. Everyone was friendly and service oriented, the breakfast that was included was consistently good, and the staff are very helpful in every way.

Nice place to stay for the money

A comfortable, quiet place to stay at a reasonable price point. The room was basic. The breakfast was typical. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the outside areas are quite charming. The neighborhood is nice and it's an easy walk to the central market and to the main square.
