Cons:

WORST hotel experience of my entire 6-month trip.

I stayed at Why Not Hotel in Antigua for two nights and I barely slept at all. There were loud parties both nights that went on until the early morning. I politely asked the people partying to lower the volume, but they completely ignored me and continued making noise ALL NIGHT.

I then went to the receptionist for help. His exact response was: “I already tried telling them, it doesn’t change anything.” So don’t expect the staff to solve any issues.

The walls are EXTREMELY thin, the beds are FAR too small for two people, and the Wi-Fi barely worked during my stay.

To make things worse, they refused any refund despite the terrible experience.

DO NOT stay here if you are planning to hike Acatenango or Fuego. Getting proper rest before such a demanding trek is essential, and this hotel COMPLETELY ruined that part of my trip.

Without a doubt, this was the WORST hotel I have stayed in during six months of traveling.
