El Convento Boutique Hotel

The location is on a very quiet street but close to the city square. I was welcomed and allowed to check-in early without penalties. I was given water and a small treat. The small details of water and sweets placed around the hotel is a great touch. I had a lovely dinner on the terrace and a note was sitting on the table wishing me a very happy birthday. Plus, they provided me with a delectable cheesecake after my meal. For a quiet, peaceful, and restful hotel experience, I highly recommend El Convento!

Wow! El Convento may be in my top 3 hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Conveniently located in a quiet corner in Antigua, close to the city center, near restaurants and bars. The room was comfortable and the staff were friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic in all ways. Our room (deluxe king) was beautiful, having two sky lights, a fireplace, and soaker bathtub. Funny enough, the shower was the absolutely highlight. The property is spectacularly curated and in a great location while still remaining peaceful and quiet. We took advantage of as many amenities as possible in our short stay including the pool, rooftop, room service, and breakfast.

My only complaint was that we only stayed for one night.

(I do recommend asking the staff about the fireplace. We tried to light ours during our stay and smoke began pouring into our room. I looked around for a way to see if the flue was open but couldn't find one. I ended up panicking and putting the fire out as I didn't want to set the fire alarm off for the entire place lol. But I chalk this up to user-error.)

Wow, what a wonderful stay we had here! The atmosphere was to die for and the included breakfast menu was absolutely delicious. We stayed on Christmas and the vibe was so cute!! We ran out of Quetzals after we did the volcano hike and they sent us a driver who took card. Definitely would love to come back and stay again next time we’re in Antigua

El Convento is the perfect place to stay in Antigua. We were so charmed by it, and the staff made the experience a 10/10. Such a luxurious, yet accessible option. Don’t hesitate to book! Also, I encourage you to opt for a Guided Walking Tour of Antigua. Our guide, Sergio, was wonderful and helped us understand the history of this beautiful city.

The hotel was gorgeous as we expected, extremely clean, well maintained, and the rooms were awesome. We stayed in a room with two queens the first night, where the shower was awesome, then in a king room with an outdoor hot tub the second night. It's a tough call to put one over the other. The hotel corridors, fountains, pool, and the rooftop are beautiful.

Absolutely loved staying at El convento. We stayed 5 nights during our Antigua excursions, and it's the absolute best! Our driver, I think his name was Nelson, was so dope. Had us laughing the whole way from the airport.

For starters, the hotel is near almost everything. You're anywhere from 5-15min from countless coffee shops, shops, and the central park. You're about 16/17min away from the huge market on the west side of Antigua. So basically, you can walk everywhere, which is what we did.

The hotel staff have set the bar high when it comes to service. You're always greeted when leaving/coming to the hotel. The front desk is VERY responsive via whatsapp, and the location is kept super clean where your room is cleaned multiple times a day. You can even get massages in your room!

The atmosphere of the hotel is absolutely stunning. They have large beautiful plants everywhere, the water fountains really add to the sense of peace, and the entire location is really nicely shaded but still with a good amount of sunlight. The pool was unfortunately not working during our stay, but I can't dock the hotel on that.

The rooms itself were very spacious, clean, and always smelled good when returning from your excursions and are very comfortable. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because our Ac was a bit wonky, and I need it super cold to sleep well at night. Seemed not to want to get below 74-ish.

Overall, I highly recommend el convento during your stay in Antigua. They really made my fiancée and my trip perfect.

Sidenote: they left a little bottle of wine for my fiancée's birthday and held our pieces of wedding cake we were going to try in the fridge for us until we got back!

This hotel was nothing short of magical. The food was delicious, the staff was hospitable and the location was perfect, you can walk and explore so many places near by. I loved that they had a local artesano selling her merchandise one day too, and while they didn’t have a spa they did call in massage service to our room. There was a beautiful rooftop patio perfect for enjoying breakfast and get a glimpse of volcanoes. The rooms and bathroom are spacious, beds comfortable, AC cool. Everything was lovely!

Simply beautiful hotel!!! All of the staff were very helpful and kind. Restaurant for breakfast was good every morning nothing spectacular but it was good. Location is great, walking distance from the city of Antigua. Only complaint I have is we stayed in room 15 which shares a wall with the kitchen which was very loud every morning around 7am when breakfast starts so it was hard to sleep in every morning if you’re a light sleeper. Nonetheless, beautiful hotel would absolutely stay again.

Staff were wonderful and so helpful, especially Ariana! It’s the nicest hotel me and my husband have stayed in, we will 100% be back.

Nice hotel in a safe area. Rooms are fairly large. I had a private patio.

Central to a lot of places, El Convento is a hidden gem. The breakfast is top tier, as well as the rooms and service. I would definitely come back.

Amazing rooms, bath is largest I ever seen. Jacuzzi outdoors are a nice touch. Staff is really helpful. Garden inside is Devine.
One little downside - breakfast food is not top notch. There is more than enough food but it's not tastiest. Most of my family did not like one or few dishes. Pancakes and oatmeal are terrible.
So hopefully someone from managment reads it and maybe change some recipes 🤞other than food this place is amazing 💗

We arrived early and they were very accommodating to hold our luggage (by the time we were parked, they were bringing us the room key. The hotel is lovely. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace and dinner at the restaurant. It was like an oasis in the city. Walking distance from the square, market, and Cerro de la Cruz. Every staff we interacted with was pleasant. Would love to stay again!

Our family really enjoyed our short stay at El Convento Boutique,very professional & friendly staff .
Very nice for a good price!

Never have I ever stayed in such a classy, comfortable and convenient hotel. Thr service workers were fantastic, each room was uniquely appointed, and one of the rooms we stayed in even had a private hot tub on the patio. Restaurant was top notch and even served free breakfast. Will definitely be back!

We loved our stay at El Convento. Our room was spacious, clean, and well stocked. The staff were very friendly and helped arrange transportation from/to the airport which we very much appreciated. The location of the hotel is perfect as it’s very close to restaurants and things to do but it’s still quiet and peaceful. When staying in Antigua I very much recommend El Convento.

I was there for the place and the food. Both are awesome. The staff is great too.

Stayed here on our second night in Antigua after we were not happy with our original accommodations. El Convento exceeded our expectations. Great room, nice staff, and delicious breakfast.
Pool is kind of small with only two lounge chairs but this wasn’t an issue for us.

This hotel is absolutely magical. We booked this hotel for the weekend to start off our honeymoon before heading to Panajachel and I really wish we stayed longer. I felt so sad leaving the hotel lol. I fell in love with our room. It was very spacious, had a private outdoor jacuzzi, a very large bathroom with a huge bathtub, and rain head shower that just made us feel bougiee. The staff was very helpful with helping us find transportation to the hotel and as we were leaving as well. The restaurant dishes were delicious & the coffee was too! I loved how we were walking distance to everything in Antigua. We will for sure be coming back to this hotel. It is a must if you are staying in Antigua. Thank you El Convento for creating such a welcoming environment!
