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!!

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!
