This boutique hotel was a true gem. Everything about was excellent. I was there as a solo traveler. I felt very safe at this property. The staff was friendly and looked out for your needs. The hotel was beautiful, my room was perfect. It does get a little stuffy, as they don’t have AC, but it’s on old building, so they accommodate with a standing unit. The location is great, you can walk everywhere. I highly recommend this hotel

Absolutely spectacular from start to finish. The property is in the heart of the city of Antigua and its like stepping back in time. Gorgeous property, breakfast was perfect to start a day of exploring, and the staff were knowledgeable and kind. First place in a long time that I can't wait to come back to!

El hotel es muy lindo, el tema de ventilación es lo único al que habría que ponerle atención, pues no se puede ventilar el cuarto sin abrirlo por completo al pasillo donde pasan todos los demás huéspedes.

Very beautiful and unique hotel steps away from the arch. Amazing location and great customer service. We absolutely loved the breakfast. One comment that I will make pertains to guests having breakfast outside of your room windows at 8am which woke us up. I think guests should be encouraged to eat outside of their own room or in the common area instead of 3 feet away from our front door very early in the AM having conversations of which we could hear every word. I know this is hard to manage but maybe there should be a reserved sign?

Excellent Hotel in Antigua
The property was beautiful with each room offering a unique look/feel. Our room was huge and looked like part of a museum! San Rafael Hotel is right around the corner from El Arco de Santa Catalina and the main area of Antigua but as soon as you step inside the property, you escape the noise from the street as it is very calm and quiet. The owner and the entire staff were very friendly, professional, and accomodating. Having delicious breakfast (with many great options to choose from the menu) outside of your room overlooking the courtyard garden and fountain is a must. I highly recommend San Rafael Hotel and will be back for sure.

A San Rafael Hotel Review San Rafael Hotel is a truly lovely place. I stayed here with my dear friend, Wayne, in 2015. It’s just as beautiful and magical as it was then. The atmosphere is serene with a courtyard full of beautiful, unique plants and flowers. There are even a few hummingbirds flying by and stoop for some sugar water. The owners are very gracious and kind, as are the staff. In a word, the hotel is exquisite. I’m so happy I found it! Charming Candles Wayne Ron Breakfast Insulated Pot of coffee in so don’t have to keep asking for more, stays hot Serene atmosphere Art, thoughtful, keeping historical aspects Curated Hummingbird Colonial tradition
