Posada Don Diego, in Antigua Guatemala

Posada Don Diego, coffee and hotel for budget-minded travelors to Antigua, Guatemala

If you don't want to spend a bundle, this basic posada offers a safe haven for the visitor to Antigua Guatemala.

Favorable Location for a hotel in Antigua

This posada is directly across the street from La Merced church, one of the attractions of colonial Antigua Guatemala.

Antigua is a tad dark and unoccupied after about 8 pm, so it is good to be close to the center. Here you are within walking distance, down a principal street, from the main square.

Fancy it is not

Do not expect the Ritz. Instead the place is small and cozy. This is not a huge pension where hundreds of travelors hang out.
The rooms are spartan but clean. Hotwater is readily available in the shower, which is across the hall. Antigua itself is so pretty you will be outside wandering around all day and in bars at night. So all you really need in a hotel is a safe clean place for recuperating overnight. That's what the Posada Don Diego offers.

It's clean

No cockroaches, no bed bugs, no filth.

Bed linens were clean. The owner-operator himself evidently remodeled this house into the pension.

Carlos Roberto Castillo is a pleasant person and justifiably proud of the work he has accomplished.

A small patio has greenery so you realize you are not in some modern concrete bunkhouse.

The dog was fenced off but seemed to beg to be petted and hugged. No cats in sight and the dog did not roam free.

We stayed here two nights while doing panoramic photography of the Sta. Clara cloisters in Antigua.
