Family friendly Hotels in Antigua Guatemala

Een super fijn hotel. Erg rustig en prima bedden. Ook een super service!

I've visited Casa Santo Domingo a few times for events, but this was my first time staying. It's a lovely, dramatic hotel. Fixtures and decore of the rooms is a bit dated, but the hotel is built around a historic experience. Morning and afternoon coffee and morning sweetbread was excellent. Pool is lovely and there is a really nice green space for kids to run around. Returned in the evening to light jazz playing on the TV and the room straightened, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately did not have the chance to visit the restaurant, but the Guatemalan food buffet has a great reputation. The underground parking (free) is a great benefit.

Aside from all the great things they offer and fulfill, the gardens, the peaceful atmosphere and the cozy facilities, this time I have a happy anecdote to share. My daughter (3) left a very special doll in the room. After getting back home and searching everywhere we realized the doll had stayed in the hotel. I called a week after and they offered to keep her safe indeterminately as long as I called every couple of months to express I still needed her. After 2 months I asked if they could have shipped to me (of course, me paying for the expenses), and they coordinated the shipment, followed up and long story short, the doll is safe at home, intact and very relaxed after staying 2 months in the hotel.

If you are looking for a traditional hotel in Antigua that is centrally located, this may be your place. What you need to know is that it shares similar characteristics to many of the hotels in the area. This type of hotel was once a traditional home with rooms centered around courtyards (I can't provide a reference here, this is just anecdotal information from 17 years of traveling to Antigua and staying in many different hotels. Although, ChatGPT did a great job describing what I believe is a traditional or antique home in Antigua). I stayed in room #4, not because I needed four beds, but it was the only room available. This is a great room in every sense of the word. It was most likely the living room as it is in the center of the hotel off the main courtyard/garden. That said, while it provides for an abundance of fresh air, which is often lacking in some of these types of hotel rooms, it is not insulated from the daily activities of the hotel, including guests coming and going, guests eating outside the room, or the chorus of birds that welcome the day for you precisely at the same time every day - no need for an alarm clock! This room has a high ceiling of traditional timber frames and dark wood, with a huge, ornate chandelier hanging in the center. It's beautiful! While the bathroom is simple, it's more than sufficient - the ample shower has hot water delivered to you using updated plumbing (no need to worry about getting electrocuted by a ”widow maker” showerhead with exposed wires). I'm a pretty low-maintenance kind of guy when it comes to where we stay (although, my partner may disagree with me). If you are an independent, self-reliant traveler, that will spend most of your time outside of the hotel than inside, this hotel will meet your needs.

Advantages: nice garden, spacious room, invincible scenery, full atmosphere, hot tea at night. Disadvantages: The service is not professional and the training is not enough, the breakfast is extremely simple, the location is remote, and the price of this 2000 is lacking in luxury, and the price is ordinary. Overall: room facilities and services are not satisfactory, but unfortunately such a beautiful view

OMG! This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in! The hostel is very large, the rooms are a little smaller, they are all independent, there is also a separate bathroom outside the door, you can take a shower, separate dry and wet, very clean, the hot water is really great! The lawn is huge, and there is a real bed hanging, you can lie down and take pictures, and put pillows! Hahaha, outside the porch are all that kind of hammocks. The kitchen is also very good, just buy oil and salt, three refrigerators, and a swimming pool, a rest place built with school bus, surrounded by chairs and sofas, there is a beverage hall, there are billiards to play, and a quiet The lounge is very big, and there are two small wooden houses, you can do your own things quietly. There is actually a movie theater! ! ! It's a projector! ! You can watch Youtube and search for Sansei III pillow books. Change the language of Apple TV and remember. There is also a large new concept restaurant with a particularly avant-garde decoration, like that of a domestic shopping mall. It is a bit expensive, 50-70 RMB per person. The bed in the hostel is really great! Two pillows! Very comfortable hotel specifications! Especially new! The quilt is also a solid thick quilt! There are also small lights, a plug and 2 USB jacks! Anyway, it's great! The yard is huge! There are several towering trees that are avocado trees, which bear a lot of fruit, and I just happened to fall one. The staff is good at English, cleans them meticulously, and the toilets are disinfected. So when I used it the next day, it smelled like disinfectant.

Perfectly located, their staff is super helpful and always ready to answer any questions and solve any 'problems' the guest might have. They follow up with your needs to make sure that you had a good experience not only when you were at their premises but while you were out. The Hotel presents a typical eclectic decoration that combines modern installations with colonial hardware. The gardens and courtyards are manicured and maintained. The variety of plants and flowers complements the outdoor furniture located in the resting areas. These halls, mezzanines, and terraces all have electrical outlets where you can rest while you check your mail on your phone or tablet.
