I just returned from a week long stay at Posada la Merced in Antigua, Guatemala. This hotel served as a base for my activities throughout Guatemala. I was in a four bed room that had it's own private bath as well as a desk and wardrobe. The room was pleasant. To set expectations, the bathroom was on the small side... More

I stayed at Posada La Merced for two weeks in May with my volunteer group. My first impression of the hotel was very good. The front door is locked at all times so it is secure, the staff were very friendly, the rooftop patio had great views and the little garden on the way to my room was very cute.... More

Wednesday through Saturday of Semana Santa (Holy Week before Easter) in Antigua are a sight that rocks Central America, and the place to see it best, in my opinion, is from the Posada La Merced. It's near La Merced church, the yellow and white frothy architecture that is much photographed, along with it's ruined convent adjacent. Posada LM has 2... More

I brought a Mission team of 7 people with me to stay at Posada La Merced March 17-19, 2013. The staff was very helpful and treated us like "family". We truly enjoyed our short stay there; the rooms were clean and quiet, the staff excellent, and Jorge went all out to make us comfortable! I plan to contact Jorge, because... More

I stayed at the Posada La Merced twice on my recent visit to Guatemala. My first visit was for two nights, March 14-16. The hotel sent a van to pick me up at the international airport and took me straight to the hotel. The staff there were great, Jorge and Jimmy both went out of there way to make sure... More

We found this to be a fine hotel, at a very reasonable price. We had a large interior room on the ground floor, and there were no noise problems. The front desk was friendly and helpful, and able to arrange tours and shuttles. The location was on a street that seemed to be pretty quiet, but was within walking distance... More

The location is great, away from the main hustle and bustle. Right on the doorstep of La Merced and stunning views of Volcan da Agua from the rooftop. Rooms could do with a fan in hotter months. There's no breakfast but Fernando's nextdoor make the best coffee (look out for Micha the cat that sleeps on the cashier - too... More

Lovely guest house not too far from the central square. Bonuses: there is free filtered water available, and one is allowed to use the small kitchen to store food in the fridge or to cook simple meals : )

Very nice hotel. A little loud at.night but a wonderful staff that is very helpful!! Worth the money overall. We had a room in the front patio which could have been the cause of the noise.... However the beds were comfortable and Internet worked great!!!
