What guests think
Across reviews, Hotel Genessis stands out for its beautiful courtyard and interiors, friendly and accommodating staff, and an included breakfast many call delicious, with guests also appreciating comfortable rooms, working air conditioning, and a rooftop offering memorable volcano views.
Its location is a quiet, residential stretch about a 10–20 minute walk from the main square, which some find convenient by day but less appealing to walk at night. On-site amenities are limited, and a few guests felt there were not many comfortable common areas to linger. Cleanliness is generally praised, though isolated reports note pests or housekeeping lapses, and a few guests experienced billing or communication challenges. Expect a charming stay with simple amenities.

This hotel is amazing! It’s only a 10-15 minute walk from the main plaza. The area is nice and quiet. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the price is a lot cheaper than staying closer to the plaza. The courtyard is stunningly beautiful with all the plants and flowers. I have never seen anything like it. The rooms are very spacious and clean. There is a rooftop where you get a beautiful view of the city and the volcanoes. Don’t think about it twice and book it!

First off, the property is absolutely beautiful. However, there is nothing at this hotel. No restaurant or bar. Breakfast was ok but you only have the choice of one thing. It is about a half mile to the town, but on those streets it seems farther. There is nothing (but a sourdough baker which was good) around. This wasn't the only hotel I stayed at in Antigua so I can compare and there was no comparison. I had to ask to have my trash taken out (which is awful when you cannot flush toilet paper in the toilet). I also had to request for a clean towel and when I asked for a glass of ice the person acted really put out. The saving grace was Caesar, the front desk clerk, who helped us when needed. Sorry, I wanted to love this place.

The property is clean, beautiful and well kept. The staff are attentive, though communication was a slight challenge with my poor spanish speaking ability. Overall really nice people there though and we made it work. Its a little bit of a walk to the town center--about 15 minutes, but this made the property really quiet, which was nice. Having AC was a huge plus. And the garden was really gorgeous. Breakfast was included and was very good. It has a rooftop but no real hangout area up there. Still cool to be able to view the city though. The front desk arranged a safe ride to the airport for a reasonable price--about $35 USD. Would recommend

We loved our stay at Hotel Genessis! The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, the pictures don’t do it justice. This hotel was one of the highlights of our time in Antigua. Staff was very friendly and helpful and available 24/7. The breakfast made to order each morning was absolutely delicious. The rooms were beautiful, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The beds were soft and the air conditioner worked wonderfully. There is also rooftop access with amazing volcano views and the interior of the hotel is just breathtaking. The hotel is a little outside of the center of town at a dead end street, so it’s very quiet. The location is still convenient and you can easily get to the center of everything in about a 15 minute walk or 5 minute Uber. I would definitely stay here again and was only disappointed that our stay here wasn’t longer!

There were bedbugs we could immediately see when we checked in. Based on the language barrier I could not get a refund on 2 nights paid (240USD). Of course I reached out to expedia for a refund. Due to the language barrier, customer service could not get a n immediate answer.

The hotel is very pretty and the pictures show that. But it's several blocks away from the main square which means walking over the rocky streets which we did several times a day - or renting a taxi or tut tut. The morning breakfast was nice with coffee so you don't have to travel. The beds were not too comfortable and I would give it an overall 6 out of 10.

Service from this property is top notch. Staff is so friendly and kind. Free breakfast is included. I was able to check in early and they held my luggage after check out and allowed me to stay on the property until my shuttle came later in the day. Internet was extremely slow in my room. The area can also be a little sketchy. I was ok leaving the hotel during the day when it was light out but I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking in that area at night. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to the Central square park.

Location
Set about a 10–20 minute walk from the central square on a quiet street, the area feels peaceful but a bit far for some, and one review felt uneasy walking there at night.

This hotel is amazing! It’s only a 10-15 minute walk from the main plaza. The area is nice and quiet. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the price is a lot cheaper than staying closer to the plaza. The courtyard is stunningly beautiful with all the plants and flowers. I have never seen anything like it. The rooms are very spacious and clean. There is a rooftop where you get a beautiful view of the city and the volcanoes. Don’t think about it twice and book it!

Easy to check in and out, very much a minimalist quiet spot away from the town center, but great value for its price.

The hotel is very pretty and the pictures show that. But it's several blocks away from the main square which means walking over the rocky streets which we did several times a day - or renting a taxi or tut tut. The morning breakfast was nice with coffee so you don't have to travel. The beds were not too comfortable and I would give it an overall 6 out of 10.

First off, the property is absolutely beautiful. However, there is nothing at this hotel. No restaurant or bar. Breakfast was ok but you only have the choice of one thing. It is about a half mile to the town, but on those streets it seems farther. There is nothing (but a sourdough baker which was good) around. This wasn't the only hotel I stayed at in Antigua so I can compare and there was no comparison. I had to ask to have my trash taken out (which is awful when you cannot flush toilet paper in the toilet). I also had to request for a clean towel and when I asked for a glass of ice the person acted really put out. The saving grace was Caesar, the front desk clerk, who helped us when needed. Sorry, I wanted to love this place.

The property is clean, beautiful and well kept. The staff are attentive, though communication was a slight challenge with my poor spanish speaking ability. Overall really nice people there though and we made it work. Its a little bit of a walk to the town center--about 15 minutes, but this made the property really quiet, which was nice. Having AC was a huge plus. And the garden was really gorgeous. Breakfast was included and was very good. It has a rooftop but no real hangout area up there. Still cool to be able to view the city though. The front desk arranged a safe ride to the airport for a reasonable price--about $35 USD. Would recommend

Reservé el hotel por su valoración del sitio, sin embargo estaba muy lejos de ser un 9.6, no es un mal lugar, tiene una buena ubicación y la gente es muy amable, sin embargo el tamaño y las facilidades de la habitación se quedan cortas para ese punteo, le daría un 7.5 de valoración

Service from this property is top notch. Staff is so friendly and kind. Free breakfast is included. I was able to check in early and they held my luggage after check out and allowed me to stay on the property until my shuttle came later in the day. Internet was extremely slow in my room. The area can also be a little sketchy. I was ok leaving the hotel during the day when it was light out but I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking in that area at night. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to the Central square park.

We loved our stay at Hotel Genessis! The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, the pictures don’t do it justice. This hotel was one of the highlights of our time in Antigua. Staff was very friendly and helpful and available 24/7. The breakfast made to order each morning was absolutely delicious. The rooms were beautiful, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The beds were soft and the air conditioner worked wonderfully. There is also rooftop access with amazing volcano views and the interior of the hotel is just breathtaking. The hotel is a little outside of the center of town at a dead end street, so it’s very quiet. The location is still convenient and you can easily get to the center of everything in about a 15 minute walk or 5 minute Uber. I would definitely stay here again and was only disappointed that our stay here wasn’t longer!

The courtyard is gorgeous & obviously the main draw to the hotel. The location is also very walkable & relatively quiet at night. The staff has ok. Overall, I found the rooms to be dark, drab and a little bit depressing. I can’t quite say why I didn’t feel like they were cleaned well. Lastly, the breakfast was not great & they kept insisting on only putting out eggs with pork in it (I don’t eat pork so sucked for me). My stay was ok but not great… nothing like how IG portrays it!
