  Elegancia histórica en la zona 1

  Nos alojamos una noche al final de nuestro viaje. Es una casa antigua elegante que ha sido cuidadosamente restaurada. Su fachada suave, consistente con el estilo colonial, contrasta con la belleza que te espera nada más cruzar la puerta. La casa es realmente encantadora, tranquila y cómoda. Los propietarios y el personal son muy agradables. Nos alojamos en la habitación 1, que da a la calle. Una vez que la escuela terminó y pasó el bullicio del día, la habitación era tranquila y serena. La única razón para la calificación de muy bueno en lugar de excelente fue la presión del agua. Es una casa antigua, así que hay que hacer concesiones. Sin embargo, hubo que dejar correr el agua durante mucho tiempo hasta conseguir agua templada para ducharnos. Agua aparte, fue una maravillosa estancia de una noche y lo único que lamento es que no tuvimos tiempo para probar el maravilloso desayuno del que leímos y pasar una noche adicional en este precioso entorno. Nota: muchos guatemaltecos y otros viajeros nos advirtieron en contra de quedarnos en la zona 1 y nos aconsejaron cambiarnos a la zona 10. Si te gustan las áreas históricas y quieres estar cerca de los sitios principales de la ciudad y el mercado central, Casa Carmel está a poca distancia a pie de todo eso. Nos sentimos muy cómodas y seguras siendo dos mujeres que viajan solas y caminamos por las calles sin incidentes hasta el anochecer.

  Very nice guest house

  My dad and I really enjoyed our one night stay at this beautiful and small family run guesthouse. The owner picked us up at the airport at 6:00 AM and allowed us to check in early and even served us breakfast after we had a short nap. We were happy to pay the small $15 USD fee for that service. It was very nice and it allowed us to rest before beginning our day of sightseeing after a long overnight flight. The room (and the rest of the house) was spotless and the beds were very comfortable. They serve a very tasty breakfast with scrambled eggs with tomato and onion, homemade beans, plantains, toast, nice natural jam, fresh juice, coffee, and freshly chopped papaya and melon. There is a lovely garden in the back where we watched hummingbirds feeding in the flowers and trees while sipping a beer. The only drawback was a little bit of noise from the traffic but I sleep with earplugs and had no problem whatsoever. Overall it was a great stay! Muchas gracias!

  Colonial house in zona 1

  I wanted to spend some time in the city center in Guatemala City to have an idea about the city with my own eyes and chose to stay at casa Carmel. The guest house is in a beautiful colonial city, the room clean , breakfast good and walking distance from the parc central. If you don't want to totally skip GC, this guesthouse is a good pick.

  Home Away from Home...at Home!!!

  My cousin and I went back home to Guatemala (from the US) to start the process of clearing our grandparents' home in Zone 1. As "locals" we could have stayed anywhere, including our own home, but thought it wise and practical to have a separate space close by to which we could retreat at the end of each day. We were there for 10 days and Casa Carmel was truly our home away from home...at home. From the super convenient airport pickup to the suitcase they let me borrow for my trip back, the staff was incredibly gracious in every way (bless you, Sophie). The rooms were neat and comfortable. The cooked-to-order breakfast was a welcome start to each day and the greeting at the front door the perfect close to every evening (thank you Rosa and Sylvia). Perhaps the water pressure could be better and it'd be nice to get Wi-Fi in every corner of, but that is a minute trade-off for first-class attention and the willingness to accommodate our every need. It is also very common in the Historic District and a trademark of the beautiful traditional homes that have been classified as cultural heritage in Guatemala. I am happy to say that I will have an opportunity to return Sophie's suitcase when I stay with her again in October. See you soon!

  Una casa preciosa y tranquila

  Pasamos aquí nuestra primera noche en Guatemala, nos ofrecieron transporte gratuito desde el aeropuerto. Descansamos muy bien, la casa y alrededores estaban en total silencio durante la noche. Durante el día pudimos disfrutar del ambiente tranquilo y la linda decoración, los techos originales de madera fueron mi parte favorita. El desayuno fue bueno y abundante. El personal fue siempre muy amable y nos dio buenas recomendaciones para nuestro viaje. Desde allí pudimos visitar un par de museos y caminar durante el día por la Zona 1.
