Hotel Posada Casa Santorini — Hotel in Sacatepéquez

We had 4 days to spend in Antigua at the end of our trip. As we were arriving in Antigua with much luggage, we needed to have a place already lined up upon arrival, and I choosethis place from Trip Advisor. |We were pleased with what we found.|The location can not be beat. Merely steps from the Cental Plaza, and surrounded by many restraruants, but delightfully quiet once inside the hotel.||The rooms on the first floor are a bit dark, but the rooms on the second floor were lovely. Sadly we didn't find this out until we had already checked into a ground floor room. I'll make sure to stay on the second floor our next visit.||Our room was a good size with really nice beds and a large flat screen TV with lots of channels - I did have to twice get someone from the hotel to help with the TV, with 3 remote controls, it was a real challenge to work.|Excellent Internet right from the room.||The rate $60US per night included breakfast. We arrived the next morning to the breakfast room to find the most delightful buffet breakfast. Although the seemed to be only us and another couple staying at the hotel, the buffet spread was enough to feed 10 fold. We ate until bursting, and hardly made a dent. I hope the staff got to enjoy the rest.||Sadly we were only able to spend one night as a tour had booked the entire hotel for the next few nights. We would have gladly spent all 4 nights here, but had to move on.||This hotel will defiantly be our choice for any stays in Antigua in the future.||We spent a few hours walking around Antigua, looking for another hotel near by to move to, and couldn't find anything as nice in the same...

We selected this hotel based on aesthetics with the curvy staircase reminiscent of the works of Gaudi. Inside there is a lush courtyard containing a menagerie of botanicals and the rooftop terrace (reached from the spiral staircase at the back of the second floor) yields spectacular views of the city. The mid-range price of 65 USD/night brought us a spacious triple room just a block off from Parque Central in the direction of the markets. Lovely decor and aura aside, safety is a bit of a concern here. The concierge is located behind the curvy staircase and we found it not to be always manned. Sometimes there were street vendors seeking refuge just inside the doors of the hotel. Unfortunately, while we were out enjoying the city one day, some money went missing (300Q collectively) during the time frame that our room was made up. The money disappeared from hiding places that were cleverly (though apparently not clever enough!) tucked away out of the open. Our belongings were definitely rifled through and pickpocketed, whether by staff or during the time that the staff had unlocked our room for cleaning :(||||Also, have not found much information on this property, so perhaps it has recently changed...

I visit Antigua Guatemala since the 90s and the hotel Centro Colonial is my home away from home. I like it for its proximity (just one block) to the central square which means the area is well-lit and patrolled. Personal safety is paramount in Antigua. The rooms are spacious, equipped with free wifi and cable tv, and the price is right, too, especially when you negotiate for an extended period. Many hotels have widow maker showers and quite frankly I can't stand them, but not so this hotel. Reasonable pressure and hot water are available at at all times. I will...
