Posada La Merced is an absolute oasis in the middle of Antigua. We were so pleased with our rooms as well as the great service we received from all the staff. Gail (the owner) is a lovely woman and she has created a comfortable, quiet and relaxing environment within her hotel...just what you need after a day of exploring the... more

I can honestly say that there was nothing I liked about this place. Except maybe the part where I checked-out, never to return. From the outside, the place looks quite nice and historic. However, the minute we got to our room I knew we were in trouble. Most of the rooms only have windows onto the central patio- which means... more

What a lovely hotel! A little oasis of peace, tranquility in a central location in the lovely city of Antigua. Clean, central, safe, beautiful courtyard, lovely roof terrace, helpful staff, self catering kitchen. We stayed in a group of 13, so had various types of rooms including triples, quads, doubles, all from which there were no complaints. I stayed at... more

I have spent two weeks in Antigua, an awesome city, and have stayed at a lovely villa found on vrbo, and at Hotel El Convento, rated on this site. Posada La Merced is neither in terms of luxury, but it is an excellent budget choice. It is located a block from La Merced. The rooms are basic but clean and... more

This little hotel never disappoints me. It is consistently a wonderful place for business or pleasure. The owner (Gail) and the staff are wonderful. I got really sick one day while there and I had enough care to see me through the next time I get ill! They helped me celebrate a birthday and are generous in spirit. I will... more

My Girfriend (now fiancee!) and I stayed at the beautiful pousada as our first stop in Gautemala. They offer a very useful pick up service from the airport. The rooms are very clean and the pousada is very well located. What made the stay so special was how amazing the owner of the pousada was.(Gail) She helped us organise a... more

A charming, low-key inn, Posada La Merced is a friendly and inexpensive choice in Antigua. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the garden atmosphere in the main areas were quite lovely. There is also free wireless internet and a kitchen to accomodate long-term and/or short-term needs. The rooms are small, but the bathrooms are TINY (Our sink and... more

I was lucky enough to be dropped off here years ago when I was helping with a humanitarian mission. Since then I have stayed there many times--all with fantastic results. I have found the front desk people to be as helpful as any hotel including multi-star hotels. The hotel is more of a home when helping the guests and I... more

The Posada was booked for our group ( just finished a mission trip) for a long weekend, as the group had stayed there a year before. Not having a great deal of experience with accomodations in Guatemala, I have to say that the Posada was a lovely surprise. The neighborhood is not that great, but it is not far from... more
