Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms, though a bit dark due to few external windows, were very comfortable, roomy, and beautifully decorated in seasonal colors. The service was excellent, with the staff being very pleasant, welcoming, and accommodating. The central location, right off the Parque Central in the heart of Antigua, made it perfect for exploring the area. The dining experience, particularly the tropical fruit plate, was amazing. Overall, a great stay with top-notch service and amenities.
The hotel has a great price for quite large rooms, but the noise from passing cars outside can be a bit bothersome. The air circulation is not the best, and the rooms are a little dark.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was great, near the main square and restaurant area, but the noise from passing cars was disruptive. The rooms were comfortable but a bit small for four people and lacked natural light. The service was friendly overall, but there were issues with overcharging and hurried check-out. The dining experience was top-notch, offering exceptional breakfast options. Overall, a decent stay with some notable drawbacks to consider.
