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.

I had an awkward gap in my schedule before heading to Mexico, so I booked a budget accommodation—but it exceeded my expectations. The staff was very friendly, and the place was clean with just the right temperature and humidity.

I booked my hotel stay last minute and I wasn’t expecting the best however it was amazing just for one night. Everything is near by and I was able to grab a bite to eat without worrying of venturing to far. There is no running AC but the humidifier and fan in the room was good and I slept well. I love the rooftop area as well It’s my first solo trip and starting my trip at the why not hotel was a good option for me I highly recommend to book with them

The location and staff are absolutely amazing. So nice. The accomodations are basic but everything is extremely clean and well maintained. The place has cool character and is surrounded by an endless amount of super cool restaurants, bars, and shopping. Directly in the center of the town.
