Hotel Don Valentino

Not allowed to sleep past 6 or 7 a.m. ! Every morning of the five spent here, the receptionist and other employees have been talking and laughing at the desk, which is right by the rooms, at these early hours. They also do this in the corridors. They make no effort to speak softly, but rather do so at full voice. Guests who are at the reception desk are not reminded to lower their voices. My second morning, about eight people in their 50s to 70s were at the reception and in the corridors speaking loudly as if in a bar while dealing with the young man on duty. This, at 7 a.m. When reporting this problem to the manager, she either lied to me that she would resolve the issue, or her employees have no respect for her. Also at these early hours and after 9 p.m., children are allowed to run up and down the corridor making as much noise as they wish as they yell to each other. This has also happened every morning and evening during my stay. The management does absolutely nothing to stop this. My worst hotel experience ever. I am a seasoned traveler of decades having visited 35 countries. Btw, this is by no means a cheap hotel. The cost is about $50 per night

Perfect place to stay for a good price in lovely Antigua. The staff are SO nice, let us keep our bags there for free whilst we did the Volcano hike and checked in a little early too the next day. Showers lovely, room spacious and super clean, free refillable water.

It was clean, bed was comfortable and AC worked great. Only thing is. We tried to take a shower at 2:00 am and there was no water. I believe they shut the water off at night and we had to go bother the front desk guy and water started running right after. Other than that, I highly recommend this place.

I originally planned on staying out drinking until my very early morning flight out. Got tired and “splurged” for a private room to close my eyes for a few hours. On the dirty side, room is infested with ants, smells funky, and its super loud on the ground floor. I didn’t even risk showering or getting under the sheets, I slept in my clothes.. If all you want is shelter and a bed to sleep on for $35-40/ night, go for it if the above doesn’t turn you away. A shame because this place could work if management cared more.

This hotel is great, with a perfect location and breathtaking views. The rooms are well-equipped, and the overall atmosphere is very pleasant. Plus, it’s quite affordable. I would definitely stay here again!

The hotel room was quaint but there was no AC or fan. We had to request to be moved since the kids were complaining. Quickly the young man at the front desk assisted and found additional rooms that had fans and was able to move us. We only spent 1 night as the thunderstorm grounded our travel back to the house in San Juan Sacatepeques.

Location wise it’s great as the hotel is literally right next door to La Bodegona (main grocery store), the market, and only a few blocks from Parque Central. The rooms were nicely decorated and clean. There is a kitchen and place to refill water which I always appreciate. And they have a couple terraces which are nice places to relax. The staff are super lovely.||Poor Wifi was the main negative for me. I moved to the main floor as there was no signal upstairs but it remained spotty in my room. There was no natural light being on the main floor (with the windows being to the hallway so I kept my curtains closed). On the night I was leaving a family moved in above me and omg the noise was crazy. I couldn’t have handled staying. So my advice would be to stay on the main level. ||It’s a good enough option for the price despite the couple negatives.

Perfect place to stay in Antigua, has everything you need with friendly staff, comfortable beds and affordable prices!
