Hotel Genessis

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!

Nice hotel, small and comfortable. However, they have opportunities in terms of cleanliness.

Our tour group selected this hotel- as usual, a good combination of a reasonable walk to the main square but set apart from the commotion. The rooms center around a courtyard with beautiful plantings and tables set up for conversation. There’s a spiral staircase leading up to the roof from the second floor. Good for volcano viewing! No elevators that I noticed. Coffee, hot water, cold water and lemon pound cake all available 24/7. The room was attractive but the only natural light was from the picture window in the sleeping area- not very private! No bedside lamp, which would have added some light. Bathroom needed more space, maybe a shelf, to store toiletries. Breakfast was good, with traditional local options and the usual eggs, meats and cheese. This is a good place to get laundry done- they charge by the pound, it’s very reasonable and it’s done the next day.

This is a lovely hotel near the city center. There are many restaurants nearby. We had dinner at an Italian place called Sour Dough, and it was delicious. The courtyard is a lush display of plants and flowers with tables spread around it for breakfast dining. There was coffee, tea, and cake for the guests to enjoy throughout the day. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were lovely and shampoo, conditioner, and hair dryer were available. There is a roof top terrace, but the climb up and down is steep. The only thing I would suggest to this hotel is to have Kleenex in the room, and provide a place in the bathroom to put toiletries.

Beautiful place will be visiting again

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 ******* for a refund. Due to the language barrier, customer service could not get a n immediate answer.
