“In my opinion, this hotel is a prime choice. Its location, mere steps from the jade museum and main square, is a huge advantage; plus, the rooftop views of Volcán de Fuego are spectacular, especially during breakfast. For a comfortable stay in a historic setting, it's easy to recommend, given the service.”
