Hotel Villa Antigua

The room was a generous size with a good bed and nice furniture. TV was old, but that didn't bother me. Great views from the room and the terrace. Breakfast was basic but served in nice surroundings by friendly staff. Very good location, just a short two block walk to the central square. Overall, a very good experience.

We were surprised upon arrival at Villa Antigua that I had mistakenly reserved a room for 1 when I knew full well that my wife would be traveling with me. Recognizing my mistake I said I would gladly pay the difference. Upon checkout I was informed that the difference would be substantially more than I had estimated or later, upon examination, more than the difference between the Expedia posted rate for a double & what I had paid. No big deal but sort of leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Otherwise we like the hotel where we have stayed before. Indeed we got the same top deck room we had stayed in some 3 years ago. The hotel still has a nice feel to it, but was a bit barn like this time as it was scarcely half full. Plus the wear & tear of 3 years are evident & I would say that the owner needs to do a thorough pick-me-up. Little things: toilet seat loose, door btwn bathroom & bedroom off center and very difficult to close, the catch devise on the shades broken so shades couldn’t be kept open, shower curtain rod not properly fixed in place, the outdoor furniture need revamping. Little things. Plus like all but the best hotels a desperate need for more electric outlets – in today’s world we all have electronic devices that need charging. In Villa Antigua’s case all that would really be needed is to replace all single outlets (they all are) with double ones. Breakfast fine albeit not particularly notable

The Villa Antigua is a large building in a modern interpretation of colonial architecture, with really nice rooms. A terrace at the top provides great views of the city, and a garden in the back and inner courtyard provide lots of open space to spend time in when not in your room or out exploring Sucre. It is uncertain how new the hotel is, but everything looks new and sparkling clean, but at the same time still has many "new hotel" kinks to work out, like the dependability of cleaning staff, quality of breakfast, and which taxi company to rely on (not the one they currently use). Still a good choice in a good location for a worthwhile price.

As only guest of hotel for 3 nights, I received personal service. A room larger than most apartments, with a private garden balcony.

I stayed for just one night in a single room before leaving the city. The hotel is a little out of the centre but this allows peace a quiet. It has a garden, terrace, courtyard and lookout. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom even had a bathtub and plug. Breakfast was good and the home made bread was a welcome change. Recommended for all who would like a little pampering in Sucre.

We spent 3 days at this hotel in Sucre. It is barely 1 year old and is a very attractive adaptation of an old colonial mansion which has been completely rebuilt with the addition of a 3rd floor and roof top deck. The hotel is located about 2 ½ blocks from the city’s main plaza & is directly across the street for the entrance to the Museum of the Convent of Santa Clara. The rooms are ample in size & nicely decorated. Indeed the whole hotel is furnished with custom made wood furniture, which, while not exactly to my taste, is handsomely executed and gives a unifying sense to the hotel. The owner/manager is a Dutch born man in his mid 50’s who has been in Bolivia for over 20 years and has clearly built this hotel as a labor of love, Breakfast in served in a large room on the 2nd floor. While it is quite adequate – the usual coffee, juices, some fruit, bread & cheese, there is nothing special about it. Our room was on the top floor with virtually a private deck along side of it. We had our evening cocktails there enjoying the terrific view of the city. The staff was pleasant & accommodating, but since we speak Spanish we are not able to comment on their abilities in other languages.
