El Mesón de Antigua

Antigua Guatemala

I only stayed two nights, but it was fine for the short stay. I had a clean room, huge bed, but not much hot water. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace made up for the lack of hot water! It was magical! I have stayed in other hotels in Antigua and have had other views, but this was a new one and the sky in the evening was glorious. There seemed to be only one young man at the desk the first day who spoke English. I needed a shuttle to get me to Atitlán and they couldn't help with that, but there were two travel agencies right around the corner so that wasn't a problem either. Great location and the restaurant Saberico right there!

Clean and quiet, good location, great view from the terrace!

To say this is a moderate hotel is way over-stated.  We reserved a two bed room.  Our first reaction was being hit by the smell of mold and mildew coming from the bathroom.  There was no table, chair or anything to lay our luggage on.  The beds were against walls that were crumbling with about a 2 foot gap between the two single beds.  There was visible black mold growing in the bathroom, by the sink, shower and even on the ceiling.  The only air source was from a transom window directly onto a very noisy hallway.  Our first course of action was to ask for a different room.  We were shown two:  The Kingsize bedroom right next door (same exact issues), then another further in the back of the hotel that was even smaller and had a cracked toilet with brown stains inside the bowl.  We then went and found a different hotel, retrieved our bags and left as quickly as possible.  My lungs hurt within the first 15 minutes of being in this property.

Jail cell sized room with mildew

Stayed here for 9 days.
Its quite a nice place with circa 8 rooms over one level. The location is unbeatable. Right plonk in centre of the majority of places i preferred to visit.The rooms are new I think and very nicely decorated. Only negative is they charge a hefty fee for using credit card and all the rooms were ‘damp’ in feel/smell during the time I was there (hopefully that was momentary). Breakfast is pretty good. Wifi works well in rooms.

Nice quiet upmarket-ish hotel in best spot in town

We stayed here twice while in Guatemala. The staff was very accommodating, the rooms were clean and breakfast was fine. Our room was rather warm but we had a fan.  The beds were comfortable even though we fought with the sheets slipping off the mattress.  There is a pretty courtyard and also a rooftop view. WiFi was in the courtyard.

A Charming Place to Stay

This establishment is small and very comfortable. Faviola and Jocelyn were the perfect managers for my wife and myself, and the 8 others who were traveling with us. 

The included breakfasts were always delicious, and served conveniently from 7 til 10 AM.

A hidden gem not far from the Parque Central and other attractions.
