The Aurora Hotel in Antigua Guatemala is an excellent choice for those looking to get a feel for Spanish courtyards and breakfast on the patio. Each room opens onto the central courtyard which is lush with flowers, a bubbling fountain, and singing birds. While the room I stayed in was not air-conditioned, the cool clean tiling and mountain breeze of... more

We stayed here a few years ago and it was wonderful. The highlight of our stay was breakfast in the lovely courtyard garden - a haven of peace and quiet, with beautifully tended flower beds and gurgling fountain. Perfect before setting out to discover the delights of Antigua. more

My whole family found this colonial hotel to be ideal. It was secure, private, peaceful and friendly. My family felt safer in this hotel than other ones during our stay, especially with our daughters of 11 and 5 years old. It also provided a secure parking lot for our rental car. The entrace is secure, especially because it is not... more

A perfect place to stay in Antigua. 2 blocks from the central plaza, and an easy walk to everything in town. The hotel kindly sent a driver to pick us up at the Guatemala City airport. Behind the large wooden door fronting the street, we entered a lovely garden oasis, with plants, flowers, and haging vines surrounding a central fountain.... more

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer from 84-86 in Guatemala. While my stipend was too low to afford the Aurora as a volunteer, I have always stayed here over the years since my PC experience. It is my favorite hotel in Antigua, and I've stayed at many. Now if there was a way to stop the busses honking their horns... more

Stayed here for a few nights in the summer of 2006. Great place. Very friendly people. We had to get up at 5am to make our flight from guatemala city to Tikel and the night staff had a simple bagged breakfast ready for us. In the evening, the garden is a great spot to kick back on the lounge chairs... more

The Aurora is the oldest hotel in Antigua. The spacious rooms (ours accommodated 4 comfortably) are built around a beautiful courtyard with a fountain in the center and shady verandas on all sides. A continental breakfast (fruit plate or fresh-squeezed OJ, toast with butter & jam, tea or coffee) is served on the veranda; for an additional cost, other options... more

Stayed a week for vacation and volunteer work. A+++ Charming small hotel. Square grassy courtyard, bubbling fountain, surrounded by rooms - open air halls with orchids trailing along the edges. In bloom with many varieties of roses, orchids, and other flowers. Previous reviews are right on target. Central location. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, clean, and well maintained. Breakfast was simple... more

Conviently located two blocks from the central square, this affordable hotel was a pleasure to stay at. The well maintained central garden is surrounded by large very clean rooms. The tasty breakfast is served outside in this delightful flowered garden. The rooms were well equipped with all the necessities. Staff were friendly and spoke some English. We will definitely stay... more
