Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience for me. On one hand, the location is superb, right next to all the sights in Antigua, making it super convenient to explore the city. The rooms with private bathrooms were clean and comfy, which was great for a good night's sleep. However, the absence of a dining service and the hot water issue were a bit disappointing.

The hotel is strategically located close to all the sights around Antigua and is comparable to other similar hostels in the area. The rooms offer a comfortable stay but lack natural air circulation, and the private bathroom with toilets inside adds convenience. The service is comprehensive, including options like car hire and grocery shopping service, making the stay hassle-free. The location is fantastic, close to pretty much everything guests could want and only a short taxi ride to the bus station. Dining options are varied and of high quality, with cold dishes available. The facilities enhance the overall experience, ensuring guests have a pleasant stay.
