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.

Historic and comfortable with Garden and Breakfast
Stay at Casa Carmel is just perfect. It is a 10 out of 10. This sweet little guest house in zone. One of Guatemala city is historic, quaint, and located well for shopping and money exchange. We walked to the artisan market. Fernanda took great care of us and cooked delicious breakfast.

Historic family mansion
This is a lovely family establishment with a few rooms in a grand historic home near the shopping district and market. Walkable to parque central of Guatemala. We arrived late and Jessica took good care of us with preparing a little meal

The house and the room are spacious, clean and tidy. The hostess, Sophie, was super helpful and the housekeeper, Fernanda, keeps the place spotless and cooks a great breakfast. The house is old and elegant, it was like visiting somebody’s house which is how it should be.

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.
