Staff was amazing! Very accommodating when we arrived early for checkin. Let us store luggage. Also there’s a beautiful rooftop! The room was clean and looked just like the photos. There wasn’t great air circulation in the shower but the water pressure was great.

We stayed in the triple bed room, which was very nice. There were only two of us (we booked late so it was the last available room) and we had plenty of space. The beds were each a different firmness which could be good for lucky sleepers. The bathroom was updated, the rooftop restaurant served excellent food. The staff at the entire hotel was very friendly. If I were to return to Guatemala, I would definitely stay at El Carmen again. Thank you!!

Both rooms were clean and comfortable. The AC worked great, breakfast was good with quite a variety of meals to pick from, the property itself was well maintained. Had a facial done and it was wonderful. Hotel is walking distance to the market, Starbucks and so many other places!!! Rooftop resturant also had a beautiful view.

My partner and I stayed here for just one night and it definitely wasn’t enough! Staff were extremely kind and accommodating to us and were able to get us a massage booked last minute. It was amazing and super relaxing after our volcano hike the morning before we arrived at the hotel. We are already counting down to our next trip to Antigua and definitely plan to stay here!

The room was really clean and the hotel was very well mantained. I liked that they took really great care of the plants cleaning leaf by leaf. Breakfast was included and it was amazing, complemente by the 3 volcanos view at the rooftop it made a great start to the morning. It was a bit on the expensive side.
