This was a building with great character and great, homey staff. I was able to enjoy both my clean and spacious room with private bathroom, as well as the living room downstairs for reading and a glass of wine, the dining area for breakfast, and the outdoor garden for some fresh air. Super cute, and thank you to the folks that let me in late at night and immediately made me feel at home. Gracias!

The property is centrally located. 5-10 minute walk to the historic center. The building itself is old, but well-kept, nicely decorated and has LOTS of character. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay super comfortable, such as providing extra coffee very early in the morning and helping me reserve transportation from the airport to the hotel. I worked remotely during my stay and was able to log in from the living room. It is not a luxury stay, but I would most certainly stay there again for the atmosphere. Highly recommended!

I have stayed at this Bed And Breakfast on three occasions. The staff is friendly, the property is beautiful and kept unbelievably clean. The breakfast served is plentiful, balanced and very tasty. I can have tea or coffee when desired. The property is easy to get to via Uber. On my last visit the manager/owner and I had an uncomfortable miscommunication. She took the time and effort to resolve the issue at hand while reassuring me that her guests are very important to her business, will be treated with consideration, patience, and the utmost value. This quality of hospitality at a very reasonable price point. Thank you to the staff and management.

Breakfast was great and so was the staff! Met the owner and she was warm and welcoming. I would most definitely stay there again if and when I go back to Guatemala City! Don't let the look of the outside of the building fool you, the inside is fantastic!

Bargain!

My wife and I visited to explore Zone 1 for a full day and two nights. The hotel staff was great with the complementary breakfast being a better bargain than anything in the states. Sophie also helped us arrange our transport from the airport, and to Antigua.

This is a beautiful hotel not too far from the airport. I stayed for one night after arriving on a late flight, and they kindly arranged transportation from the airport to the hotel as well as a late check in. The building itself is lovely with old world architectural charm. The room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast was superb. 10/10 would absolutely stay again!

Pros: Feels like Home. Fernanda is so kind, helpful and makes a delicious breakfast (black beans, plantains and eggs with tomatoes). Room is very clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi is good as well. Lots of stores and food places that you can eat at during the day.

Cons: No AC or Fans, and the area is not safe at night time. Even during the day time you still have to be alert

This is a very beautiful property about 100 years old. Very lovely inside well appointed and quaint. However, there was some loud hammering and pounding all morning long that was not very pleasant. Otherwise, it was a good stay.

I loved this historic, colonial style hotel. Heavy dark woods, high ceilings, grand spaces. I only stayed a couple of nights which was perfect to see the few sights that Guatemala City offers. The immediate area around the hotel is unattractive, but it’s a short walk to the main pedestrian shopping street and the nearby historic sites. I would stay again

Tranquil spot in a bustling neighborhood

Hotel is on a busy street with no parking in front, so loading and unloading luggage is a challenge. Once inside, it’s extremely comfortable and spacious. A salon and garden to relax in. Casa Carmel is located quite close to the Historic Center, and is only about 2 blocks from the pedestrian mall with restaurants and shops. My only disappointment is that they do not have parking as advertised. I was instructed to park around the corner (during busy rush hour). Aside from this mix up, the room and breakfast was pleasant and comfortable

My stay was exceptional. I thoroughly recommend this beautiful, comfortable, well maintained, stylish house. Communication for the airport pickup by my host was so easy and she was there waiting, driving me past locations to familiarise myself and giving great advice on the drive. The house is a beautiful ex spanish colonial place. So well maintained and kept, it just feels like a mansion but so comfy and welcoming. The two house assistants looked after me like I was family, ordering me Ubers, arranging breakfast times and choice (I recommend the omelette as they were wonderful, as was all other options). Advice on where to go, shopping stores etc was so helpful. Sophie the host arranged a great coach ride into Antigua for me from Westin Camino Real. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated in that dark wood, highly carved ex-colonial style, clean, comfy bed, great shower and wifi. All was so good. It was a hot week and although I knew the room didn't have air con, they lent me a fan and that was more than enough to keep cool in eve. Lovely garden and I adored relaxing in the comfy sofas in the stylish lounge. Walked to centre from here in 20 mins, stores nearby, Transmetro bus round the corner and lots of eateries nearby. I would stay again in a heartbeat as everyone went the extra mile to look after me - that kind of personal service is not found in big hotels but here it is the norm!

The house is lovely. The rooms are fine and all is very clean. However, the noise from the main street in front was disturbing. The staff was attentive and the breakfast included was substantial. The garden in the rear was a lovely oasis. I would return here.

Comfort and convenience

We really enjoyed our two night stay at this lovely home. The spacious room was very comfortable and the breakfast was great. We really appreciated the airport pickup by Raul. Both Raul & Sophie were very welcoming and helpful. We found it an easy walk to the restaurants and shops on the pedestrian street, 6a Avenida. Also, it was walking distance to the historical Central Park and large market,

Sophie and Raul were excellent hosts from the moment we were picked up from the airport. Casa Carmel is located near the center of historical Guatemala City. We were able to walk to the square, market and wonderful restaurants. Be sure to eat at Senora Pu, an excellent recommendation by Sophie. Beautifully decorated with its historical charm. The beds were very comfortable. We looked forward to our delicious coffee and breakfast from Rosa. Thank you Sophie and Raul for making our first stay in Guatemala City such a memorable one!
