    It was a fairly nice stay, nice place. Thoroughly enjoyed the hotel, its perfect location and my large room. The staff were superfriendly and provided help...

    The staff were extremely rude, didn't expect that coming.

    The hotel is in a good location, only a short walk to the center of town. The rooftop patio provides nice views of the area. Some guests mentioned that the staff was friendly and helpful, especially the cleaning team. the rooms are basic and have poor lighting. the access system with the doorbell ringing loudly and constantly at night is a major issue, disturbing guests' sleep.

    Had a chill time at Why Not! The location is perfect for exploring Antigua, and the rooms are clean. Just a bit noisy at times, but the rooftop views are worth it!

    noise insulation

    Noise insulation isn't great. Conversations from the roof were easily heard in my room, which can be annoying. The building had issues with moisture on the walls, which contributed to an unpleasant odor, although a dehumidifier was provided to help. Accessing the front door required ringing a bell at night.

    friendly staff
    ideal location
    limited shade
    street noise
    lack of kitchen

    The location proved ideal for accessing local attractions. The staff were notably friendly and helpful. The lack of adequate shade on the terrace limited comfortable relaxation, and noise from the nearby street occasionally disrupted the peaceful atmosphere. The absence of a kitchen for cooking was a downside.

    great location
    lack of kitchen

    great stay but room lacked a kitchen

    The location was perfect. I could easily walk to all the main attractions. The cleanliness was excellent, with daily thorough cleaning throughout my stay. I particularly enjoyed the spacious dorm with its individual lockers, fans, and lights for each bed. It's ideal for solo travelers looking to save while enjoying comfort. The reliable WiFi allowed me to do some light work .

    The lack of a kitchen was a downside for me.

    Why not has a perfect location for exploring everything nearby. My bunk bed mixed dormitory room had a private shower, super convenient. The terrace had amazing views, even if it lacked shade. The laundry service was also a lifesaver, affordable and efficient!

    fine views
    clean dormitory
    noise disturbances
    lack of kitchen
    amenity updates

    The rooftop deck offers amazing views of the volcanoes. The cleanliness of the mixed dormitory room was excellent, with fresh linens and accessible lockers. While the lack of a kitchen was a bit inconvenient, the pastries available were delicious and a nice treat. Some noise from the street was occasionally disruptive, and a few amenities could be updated for better comfort.

    friendly atmosphere

    perfectly positioned for exploring antiquity and local flavors

    During my stay, I found it easy to walk to many of the main attractions like the fine Cathedral de Santiago, just a short stroll away and the lively Plaza Central Park nearby, making it an excellent base for exploring beautiful Antigua.
