San Rafael 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!

Lovely little hotel very close to everything. helpful staff. superb courtyard to rest weary feet. def recommended.

Our stay was amazing, everyone there is fantastic and helpful ❤️

This is a beautiful boutique hotel. Very safe, friendly staff, perfect location. Would come back.

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?

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

Wonderful experience. Everyone was so nice. The room was great. The location is perfect. The breakfast was delicious. Everything was so close and convenient. Thank you

I cannot imagine a better place to stay in Antigua. A few hundred yards from the famous Antigua Arch, the staff was above and beyond expectations 24/7. They found us a Mayan tour guide for the city walk and the next day out to the Iximché Ruins, we saw an actual Mayan ritual by people doing their way if life - ie not a show for tourists. There weren’t any there. Back at Hotel Rafael, Ray and his partner built a little piece of perfection from excellent breakfasts, indoor ponds, and scores of candles. Amazing atmosphere. And amazing art decor.
