I really loved this locations. It is centrally located so everything is walkable. There wasn’t any hot water and I paid for a private room at the top however it’s connected to the rooftop so there is a lot of traffic crossing my room to get there. And other patrons weren’t abiding by the quiet hours. It’s a great area to catch a sunrise so I don’t blame them but the stomping up the stairs and the drones flying at 5:45/6am were not fun for us light sleepers. Besides that all good. Love the staff

The hotel is in a good location, and the staff were nice. I stayed in the Standard Shared Dormitory and found it to be quite noisy at some points. Unfortunately the hostel did not had any ear plugs, which I would suggest for them to provide. The lockers did not had the option to put a lock on them, and while there was an option to lock the belongings in a storage closet, it was not convenient as you need to ask the staff for access. I also suggest for the owners to add the possibility to lock the storage shelves. The bathrooms were okay, they were clean but definitely require improvements, especially the showers downstairs.

Quick stay and acceptable hotel for the price we paid. Our toilet was missing the seat (weird) but we just chose to deal with it as we were leaving early next day anyway and did not stay much at the hotel. Bed slept good enough. Shower had an attached heater to the shower head which I had never seen. It warmed the water enough so it did not feel cold. Location was also very convenient which is the main reason we chose this location. Staff was friendly.

Great location in heart of city!

Great little hotel/hostel right in the heart of Antigua. I stayed in a small single room with private bathroom. It was simple and cheap but that’s all I was looking for. Great rooftop terrace with amazing views of the volcanos and city. Front desk is staffed 24/7. This is for someone simply looking for a comfortable place to sleep in a prime location walking distance to pretty much everything in the city center.

There was mold in my room and it had a pungent smell moist smell. The walls are super thin and you can hear everything. The staff seemed distant and standoffish. I stayed in multiple hotels in Antigua and Guatemala and they were all great except this one. The location is perfect but there are plenty of other hotels that are nearby around the same price.

The place is fine I guess. But I came in and the floor looks/feels dirty, the bed cover has an obvious stain on it, and the window into my room leads right to the hallway where there are tons of lights. There is no way to block the lights- it’s frosted glass but no curtains or anything. So the room is bright - good luck falling asleep.
