This small boutique hotel, built in the colonial style like much of the rest of Antigua, boasts a beautiful decor and atmosphere and sits just outside the town centre, a few blocks away from the Parque Central. The hotel sits inside a gated residential community, with access restricted and guarded 24/7. Its location makes the place relatively quiet, considering Antigua is a popular destination for young tourists who like to party every night and bars, clubs and after parties are a common sound; this makes the hotel an ideal choice for those looking for a budget option while still wanting to experience the authentic decor and enjoy a good night's sleep. The rooms themselves don't include many amenities, but they're quaint and cozy. The hotel has a few common areas, including an atrium, an arched corridor where breakfast is served, a beautiful second floor terrace, a common room with a TV and a selection of books donated through the ages, and a dining room. Drinking and smoking are generally prohibited inside the hotel grounds, which makes this hotel less suitable for youngsters and more appropriate for serious tourists looking to get an early start. Price wise, the rates fall on the cheap side when compared to other similar hotels in the area. The daily rate can be arranged to include a continental breakfast, with limited options but a delicious local flavour. Unlike many hotels of this size, this one boasts a surprisingly good WiFi connection and long-running hot water. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. Be sure to ask for a foot massage after a long day walking the cobblestone...
Read moreI stayed 4 nights at this hotel and everything was great. The staff was very effective and attentive, I was in contact before to book a taxi from the airport with a late check in and also had an early check out with no problem.||The room was very comfortable with a great bed and good wifi as well as enough duvet as nights can be cold, no A/C needed really!||The breakfast was good and I encourage you to take it from the second floor which has a fantastic views of the volcanoes. ||The place is unique as it has a colonial style yet it is brand new, yet it is very well done with a lot of style. The walk to the centre of town is fast and pleasant as you see the real life walking through. It was also safe to walk back at night around 9pm. Highly recommended to relax in a pleasant place after a long day exploring the...
Read moreThis is the first time I have ever wanted to photograph a room I stayed in (even the bathtub). |I believe this is a new place just built to appear old; it is just too perfect. This is my dream house. |The hotel itself is a bit far compared to others more near town, but only a 20 to 30 minute walk from the “arco” probably 5 minutes by car. |The price is well worth the distance when compared to other similar hotels that cost double just for proximity. You will more than save with cheap taxis or tuk tuks. |Breakfast included is nice. Staff is really friendly and attentive. |Ask for an upper room if available (room 7 was my room). |Wifi signal good all around the hotel and room. |Only downside is no restaurant for lunch or dinner so you must either order in or go out, but hey isn’t this why...
