My partner and I stayed here for just one night and it definitely wasn’t enough! Staff were extremely kind and accommodating to us and were able to get us a massage booked last minute. It was amazing and super relaxing after our volcano hike the morning before we arrived at the hotel. We are already counting down to our next trip to Antigua and definitely plan to stay here!

I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel was within walking distance to lots of restaurants and stores and the main square. The breakfast was divine! The tostadas in the morning were delicious! I had them almost everyday. I had dinner and it was good as well. The staff was very warm and helpful and knowledgeable. The people, in general, are very nice. Highly recommend this hotel and Antigua!

The hotel is very quaint and centrally located. The rooms are clean and the staff is very helpful. The complementary breakfast was delicious. They do offer free parking but it's 3 blocks away. I just parked on the street but you do need to pay, munipay, via there website. M-F its $10 but F-S its $20. Overal it's a good hotel. Would recommend.
