The hotel is very charming and is very safe to stay at. The rooftop restaurant was very nice and the food choices were very good. My only criticism is that most of the waiters and waitresses did not speak English or understood very little English. They were all very pleasant and helpful but I wish I could have spoken Spanish to them.

Excelent place to stay at in Antigua Guatemala. The rooftop has a beatiful view to the mountains and volcanoes and since I went in Rainy season it was a spectacle to see the clouds covering the mountains. Just as a feedback, the Hotel offered me to pick me up at the airport when I arrived to Guatemala City, which they did and the driver Esteban was very friendly and attentive, the only thing that bothered me just a little bit is that they picked me up an hour later than the agreed time which I understand due to traffic and some other issues but the issue was that they didnt have communication with me while I waited the extra hour, until they finally showed up, but GENERALLY SPEAKING EL CARMEN IS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE TO STAY AT.

Beautiful property in the heart of the city. It's pristine, well maintained and tastefully decorated. The rooms are very modern and spacious with all the amenities one could hope for. The breakfast was lavish and the view from the terrace is simply breathtaking. The staff are really courteous and they helped prepare the room ahead of schedule so that we could check in before time.
