Lovely hotel within easy walking distance of the main attractions of Antigua. Our room opened on the beautiful courtyard with covered walkways surrounding. Nice simple breakfast each morning. Great value; would love to stay here again!

Only stayed here one night as we changed our travel plans. The setting of the rooms is beautiful, all surrounding a gorgeous courtyard and the room we were given was by far the biggest we had throughout our time in Guatemala. Everything within the room was nice, but it just felt like something was missing. The staff at breakfast were quite rude and too busy to assist us, and the inclusive continental breakfast required lots of questions on our part before any bread appeared. The staff seemed far happier trying to get you to order additional items that had to be paid for. We had originally asked for an early breakfast so we could do the 6am Pacaya volcano tour and were told this would cost an additional 4USD per person. Given the cost of ther hotel and the type of breakfast served, providing some fruit and bread at 5.30am certainly would not justify the extra cost.

We also found the room quite noisy as groups of other residents would congregate in the seating area outside our window and chat loudly, oblivious to the other guests staying in the rooms.

The Aurora is a perfectly satisfactory hotel but in my opinion does not justify the high ratings. We subsequently move to the D’Leyenda hotel which was superior on every level

Really nice hotel at reasonable prices. Friendly staff and a lovely courtyard.

This is a lovely hotel in a great location -- just a few blocks to Central Park. The street it's on, 4th Calle Oriente, is in the high-rent district, with some of Antigua's pricier shops and more chic restaurants. I've stayed here twice and enjoyed it both times. The rooms are large, the place is clean, and the bathrooms are roomy. There's a lovely courtyard, and the front gate stays locked at all times (they buzz you in). There's also a parking lot. The continental breakfast is a bit meager, so if you want something more substantial, go down the street to Dona Luisa's, the best breakfast in la Antigua (and very affordable). Be aware that the rooms that face 4th Calle can be very very loud, since the road leads directly out of town, so you might want to ask for something in the back.
