Casa Carmel Bed & Breakfast

I just checked out today after two nights. Once you are inside the house is spacious, both the common areas and the room. It is an elegant old house lovingly looked after. It is clean and the breakfast is good. I don’t know the other areas of the city but there seems to be a consensus that wherever you stay in Guatemala City you should not walk alone after dark. I have found it very straight forward to walk to the central square, the market and various shops. Well recommended. I am a retired 63 years old from UK travelling solo.

Home away from home. It was like visiting your cousin or aunt in your hometown after staying abroad for a long time. It was my first time, indeed, but I felt like I was coming home to this enchanting country. Traveling during this pandemic is definitely not as easy as before and Casa Carmel Hotel made sure that my stay in Guatemala would be just amazing! To Sophie, the owner, and the two kind señoras who took care of me, muchas gracias desde el fondo de mi corazón! I booked a room but I got the whole villa since tourist arrivals in Guatemala this pandemic is still in its lowest. Sophie welcomed me personally, made sure everything was fine, helped me book my antigen test in a clinic, and prepared a nice, healthy and very guatemalteco breakfast. Will definitely stay in this hotel again once I get back to Guatemala…soon? Pros: it’s in the heart of Guatemalan historic center in Zona 1 ♥️
