El Carmen is an older building and so, while it has been rennovated, the age of the property is obvious. Location is great--just two blocks off the main plaza. Our room was spotless, the beds were very comfortable, the shower was great, but the room with two double beds was tiny and in a dark corner towards the back of the second floor. That lead to the Wifi not working very well. The staff tried to help, but we deduced that they may be in need of a new router. The AC worked well which was great because otherwise we would not have had air. Only one window that was way at the top and probably couldn't be opened. The best part of El Carmen is the rooftop restaurant that looks right on to Volcanes Agua, Acatenango, and Fuego. We really loved watching the sunset and Fuego as it erupted after dark. We made a point of coming up at sunrise as well. It would have cost a lot more to stay in a \"fancier\" place, so we felt we got good value for our money. Breakfast was included which was also a plus. In spite of a few downsides, I would definitely stay there again.

It was okay. Nothing memorable. I couldn’t stay more than a night though. I guess in the spirit of trying to preserve the culture, it’s dated.,

Traveled with 3 kids, stayed in the family suite- A/C was so cold during these hot summer days absolutely perfect. Food was great, attentive staff, quite location. Phenomenal access to all the hot spots within walking distance ! Would highly recommend ! We also booked the airport transfer through them directly. The driver was absolutely amazing from beginning to end book the same driver on the way back would highly recommend arranging transportation directly through them.

Excellente ubicacion del hotel y desde su terraza puedes observar las erupciones del Volcan de Fuego.
El staff excelente , muy amables y atentos, nos ayudaron en todo momento.
Ademas nos ayudaron agendar nuestro transporte hacia otros lugares turisticos.
Se ofrecieron a cuidar de nuestro equipaje (aun cuando ya habia terminado la reservacion) mientras recorriamos otros lugares y asi evitamos llevarlo todo.
Por supuesto que me hospedare ahi en mi proximo regreso!

Great location in the middle of Antigua - walking distance to everything (Central Park, Mercado, and the Arch)

Staff extremely helpful and accommodating (cleaned our rooms everday, despite not asking)

Breakfast is a great deal (order anything off the menu) Also, they provided a very simple bag lunch (sandwich) for when our excursion left before breakfast time.

AC worked great in our room… walls are a little thin so you can hear other guests as they make their way through the hotel and stairs… but overall a great value - would stay there again!

First and foremost, the staff at El Carmen are wonderful, especially Arnold who took care of us from arrival to departure and the staff at breakfast. Our room was lovely, well-appointed and had a fantastic hot shower. We loved having lunch in the courtyard and breakfast on the terrace. The food was really good and well-priced. After 6 weeks in Guatemala, we can say this was our favorite hotel experience.

Breakfast menu was delicious and included with stay! We were even able to place our orders the night before so our breakfasts would be ready when we got there! The A/C works magnificently. The grounds are immaculate and gorgeous. The staff could not be any kinder or more helpful. Transport to the airport (two different shuttles at two different times) were easily arranged and paid for online, and the vehicles and drivers were fabulous. I bring a veterinary team here twice a year, and I will never stay anywhere else.

This is a great central location. Good place to stay a few nights. The beds are comfy but no phones in rooms. Amazing food on the terrace restaurant. It can get somewhat noisy with guests walking in the hallway but it dies down by 10:30 pm. For an extended stay, I’d likely book another hotel. I prefer to have more personal space when sharing a room. Amazing staff, they truly make a difference and some speak English.

I recently stayed at Hotel El Carmen and overall had a really good experience. The staff honestly made the whole trip—they were so friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything.
The room was very clean and comfortable, which I appreciated. At one point the showerhead broke, but they came and fixed it right away with no hassle, so everything stayed smooth.
One of my favorite parts was the view—the volcano was absolutely beautiful, and we could even see smoke coming from it. That alone made the stay feel special.
The food was a bit hit or miss. Breakfast was great and dessert was definitely a highlight, but dinner wasn’t my favorite. The drinks also weren’t very strong, which was a little disappointing.
That said, the staff really made this place stand out for me. Their energy and hospitality were the best part of the whole experience, and I’d still come back because of that.

My room was perfect for what I needed. Beds were comfortable, AC worked great and bathroom was very clean. The location is also excellent if you are a first time visitor.

My room looked nothing like the picture on the site. The hotel was tacky and I would never had stayed there had I not payed in advance. They moved me to somewhat of a better room. It was noise in my room as the restaurant was above my room. There was also a funky smell to the room. It was a good location from the center of town. It was too expensive for what it was. I discussed with another guest and she thought the same.
