Very well located. A pity the rooms are not what you may expect...
Pros:

Excellent location, literally next to the iconic arc of Antigua!

Cons:

Bathroom needs a full refurbishing: old tiles, faucets really old, shower not good, short in soap, shampoo...
The bed was good, but the furniture also needs improvement. The hotel needs to invest in the rooms!
