We stayed 2 nights in Hotel Ciudad Vieja. We were in room 108 on the ground floor. The room had 2 double beds, TV, phone, 1 hard chair and table, another chair by the "desk" (see pictures), and 2 lounge chairs. There was not much light in the room. Most came from lighting near the ceiling, that went around the walls. The bed was rather hard, and it had a fluffy blanket (comforter), which I don't like. The bathroom had a shower only. The hotel is nothing to look at on the outside, but in true Spanish style, there are courtyards and a very lovely setting inside. The staff were all friendly, and even though some struggled with English, they were speaking more English, that I was Spanish, so I'm not going to complain. We ate all our meals here, and they were good. It was a surprise to get a complementary cup of soup with our meals. But the included breakfast (which they give you a ticket for) was quite good. They made a special small breakfast for me, when we asked for it, as I was going on a tour that picked up at the hotel between 4:30 and 4:45 AM. Another interesting thing about this hotel was that our car was parked out front, in their parking lot. But they notified us later in the day, that I had to move the car to their fenced in parking lot in back. Apparently safety is taken seriously at this hotel. We would stay here again.…
I’ve been there two days ago for a one day visit of Ciudad de Guatemala (which I recommend!) two days ago. Very nice place with welcoming people. It is quite close to the airport, a 20 minutes bus ride from the center in a nice residential neighborhood. The tropical garden is very relaxing and beautiful, the room was okay, maybe a bit on the dark side because it was ground floor, but nicely set up in a traditional way. The restaurant could offer more vegetarian options, but all we had was good. I recommend and would come back!
This was the perfect hotel for a one night stay after arriving in Guatemala City. The hotel is quaint and clean and the staff helpful. We will stay here again when we have a night or two in Guatemala City.
The staff are very friendly. This hotel is in an odd location in a residential area close to the business district. More importantly it is a 15 minute drive to the airport. The rooms could use some sprucing up such as new new curtains and a bit more color. A good alternative for those who want to be near the airport but want something different than the standard hotel chains.
