The hotel was a comfortable stay overall. The staff were incredibly accommodating to any request we had and the food options were very good. The views from the restaurant up top are amazing and it is a good place to stay at overall. The only downside is that some of the rooms are a bit outdated so they sometimes smell, and the floors will have cracks in them. But as a whole, it was a pleasant experience.

El Carmen Hotel is centrally located to everything you would like to see in Antigua! The rooms are cozy, the A/C is strong and the staff truly care. Everyone is so friendly and hospitable. The views from the rooftop restaurant are stunning and the many options for breakfast are all absolutely delicious. So many options to choose from. My husband & I truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again!

The hotel is very quaint and centrally located. The rooms are clean and the staff is very helpful. The complementary breakfast was delicious. They do offer free parking but it's 3 blocks away. I just parked on the street but you do need to pay, munipay, via there website. M-F its $10 but F-S its $20. Overal it's a good hotel. Would recommend.
