We were very fortunate to stay in the beautiful Master suite. The Cloister operates like a true B&B,You are given a key to the entrance gates. No door keys to the rooms, which was great after having to worry about our valuables in previous hotels! The 7 rooms all have fireplaces and are very tastefully decorated with local textiles and... more

The Cloister is definately a little oasis. A beautiful place in the centre of Antigua. The staff are great. The rooms are fantastic. The courtyard is very chilled out. The only thing wrong with the rooms is that none of them have locks or safes. This leaves you nowhere to lock up valuables. Our visit was marred by our encounter... more

I felt that this hotel was a home away from home. The staff made us feel like one of the family. Their kindness and generosity was a welcome introduction to the spirit of Antigua. Rolando was particularly friendly and helpful. Catalina made wonderful breakfasts to order and Barbara was a wecoming hostess. We well return. Thank you all for a... more

The Cloister is a great little hotel tucked under the arch in Antigua. We had a small room, tucked way in the back corner. It was very private (unlike the rooms around the center courtyard), with a little fireplace that was set up for us with wood every evening. It was romantic and private, but with a great location in... more

This charming, seven room B&B featured a delightful, well trimmed courtyard with small pool, colorful flowers and birds. The rooms were spacious, high ceilinged with fireplace and both matromonial and double beds decorated with local indigenous weavings, prints, statuary, with tiled floors. The breakfasts were limited in choices but ample, pure water was brought to the room daily and beds... more

Just returned from two weeks in Antigua. I stayed at The Cloister, a remarkable 16th century old colonial. It has been completely redone and has seven special rooms. My room was exceptionally large (considering I was staying alone) with a fireplace that was set every night. The room was attractively decorated and spotless. Most of the rooms are spaced around... more

My husband and I are very familar with Antigua and have stayed in many beautiful hotels within Antigua. The Cloister Bed and Breakfast is the most tranquil. The Cloister is a well run home with a gracious hostess. The staff is exceptional with impeccable timing. We had a breakfast of our choice, in the place of our choice, every morning.... more

This was my third trip to Antigua, but my first stay at The Cloister B&B. The B&B was recommended by our Spanish Language school, Proyecto Lingüístico Francisco Marroquín [PLFM, excellent school]. There was a student discounted rate of $500/wk at The Cloister. The Cloister is a small B&B with ~6-7 rooms around one large, and one small courtyard. The staff... more

"The Cloisters" B&B in Antigua Guatemala is lovely. Large, airy and comfortable rooms, big tastey breakfast, nice bathrooms, and all housed in a traditional colonial. Most of the rooms are located around a tranquil courtyard where complete with beautiful gardens and overstuffed chairs to enjoy a good book or relaxing moment. I never met the owners, but the staff was... more

We have stayed at The Cloister twice and found it to be a superb, wonderful experience! We had a huge room with fireplace and returned each evening to find the fire laid and ready to be lit. The breakfast was excellent and we were able to have it served wherever we wanted--in the dining room or right outside our door... more
