A beautifully maintained traditional hotel. The room was spacious, it was very peaceful and had a lovely fragrance from all the lovely fresh flowers. The location was excellent. They lit candles in the courtyard in the evening which was delightful. The staff at the hotel were excellent. Professional and very helpful.

This boutique hotel was a beautiful, quiet little sanctuary in the heart of Antigua. The location couldn’t be any better considering you are right next to the Santa Catalina Arch and walking distance from everything you would need. From the staff to the owner of the hotel, everyone was so nice and helpful and gave great recommendations in the area. It’s also super helpful that they can organize private shuttles to and from the airport along with going to Lake Atitlan for an extra charge. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone coming to Antigua for a couple days.

The hotel is beautiful, quiet, safe, and cozy, perfectly located near La Merced Church, and the principal park , museums, ATMs, stores, and bars. The entrance is on a peaceful side street, so it’s easy and safe to access. The staff were very polite and helpful, they arranged my airport transfers and a private volcano tour, which was amazing and better priced than outside agencies. Everything was well organized, saving me time since they handled it all. There’s no air conditioning, but the fans and open windows kept the room comfortable. Breakfast was good, and the beautiful setting made it even more enjoyable. Thanks San Rafael.

San Rafael is an exceptional property — one of my favorite hotels I’ve stayed at in the world. The design perfectly strikes a balance between historical, luxurious, and boho-chic. The common areas — luscious gardens peppered with art and cozy seating — are the perfect respite from the bustling streets of Antigua. The location is stellar, just steps from the Santa Catalina Arch but feeling serene, secure, and worlds away. And the service is top notch. Staff is friendly but unobtrusive. Breakfast is also the best I’ve had in a hotel in Guatemala: fresh, generous, and filling.

Gorgeous property. Amazing patio, full of greenery, a water fountain, kumquat trees, beautiful seating areas with stunning furniture. The patio served as a perfect area to eat breakfast every morning and the breakfast was delicious. I even did a whole photo shoot on the patio. The room was stunning and architecturally impressive with beautiful furniture and high ceilings. The staff was lovely and polite. They packed me a take away bag for breakfast for one of my early excursions. They cleaned my room daily. The room did not have AC but with the windows open there is a lovely cross wind that kept the room cool. I would definitely recommend this beautiful place.

The property and staff were 5 stars. The only thing that was not 5 stars was no A/C. Really not an issue because the temperature was comfortable. Even without a gym, one was within a short walking distance. Also restaurants surround the property.

My daughter and I stayed 4 nights in Room 4. We loved everything about our stay here! The property is gorgeous, the rooms are comfortable and beautiful, the breakfast is amazing, and everyone was so nice, welcoming and helpful! We would surely stay here again. My only recommendation would be to either have a coffee pot in the rooms or have coffee available throughout the day.

Exquisite Property!! San Rafael is so peaceful and tranquil, yet in the center of all the action! Steps from the Arch and many many dining options! You cannot beat this location! We were coming from the Lake and in order to avoid roadblocks we ended up leaving at 3am and arriving at San Rafael just before 6am. The staff were so helpful in storing our luggage while we explored Antigua! The staff here is wonderful and really make you feel like family! Rooms are beautiful and very clean! The entire property is truly gorgeous! We communicated via What’s App- very easy and responsive. They have filtered water in the kitchen and we refilled our bottles several times a day, plus they include a few bottles of water as well. We will 100% come back next time we are in Antigua!
