Hotel El Pasaje

Good location, nice staff. A bit old but enough for 1-2 days stay. Worth.

A bit old. The bathroom need some improvements.

It was quite noisy, the rooms and bathrooms had not been cleaned (properly), and the bathrooms smelt quite bad. Just about okay enough for a night of transfer, if you don't mind toothpaste traces in the sink.

Close to everything, staff were extremely nice, comfortable beds, hot water

Not all was bad. - 24-hour reception staff. It felt safe and they were very friendly, especially the night staff. - Location: it was ok, just minutes away from the ruins and restaurants. It was a bit noisy, as I guess all the other places in Antigua. We could hear the street sounds, other guests talking to the receptionist, the receptionist watching TV at night, and other guests having a late night chat. - White bed sheets. The bed was clean, the blankets were warm and cozy, and my pillow was surprisingly comfortable. - There's a terrace, which was a nice surprise.

We were impromptu travelers and didn't plan ahead of time. All the other budget rooms were booked and we didn't have much to choose from. We were arriving at night and I felt more comfortable with having a receptionist waiting for us rather than to stay at a self check-in Airbnb (I once had a bad experience and I wanted to avoid that on a foreign country -with no cellphone service yet, or wifi-). I highly recommend you paying a bit more and getting a nicer place. - NASTY showers: the ceramic tiles showed mold in both the showers we had access to. They could use a little bleach (or a lot). I highly recommend using cheap flip-flops to take a shower. Trust me, when you're out walking for most of the day, or coming back from a super dusty Pacaya or Acatenango hike, you DESERVE a clean shower, one where you feel comfortable being barefoot on. - The electrical outlet in one room didn't work. We had to charge our phones on the outlet close to the ceiling that was used for the TV. Super uncomfortable. - Different prices: we were charged a commission that was not included in our Booking reservation (the reservation email explicitly noted that we should not be charged any additional fees at the hotel). It wasn't a big deal, I mean, the room was cheap and it wasn't a lot more, but we didn't expect that.

Had good hot water and centrally located and cheap and the staff was very helpful

Bed was a little bit tired

Cheap place in Antigua. A little rough around the edges but the staff were nice.

No frills, room and bathroom with hot water
