There are many great hotels in the Sucre area to enjoy- Sadly I would not recommend Villa Antigua. Despite good staff and a nice hotel- I was overcharged for my stay and when I reached out to Expedia to assist in this overcharge I was told the hotel was not willing to explain the amount. Very disappointed in this hotel and the unexplained overcharge. I'd recommend trying one of the many other local hotels.
Response from Commercial manager on Oct 8, 2023
Dear guest, Thank you for recognizing the nice hotel and good staff we have. Im sorry for your confusion about the charge. Our prices are rated in US dollars, to facilitate comparison by our international guests. On paying, most guests pay in the local currency bolivianos, like you did, and we apply the official exchange rate, already fixed for 12 years. When Expedia called us, it was clear that you calculated your supposed overcharge with another, incorrect rate. We checked the calculations before responding to Expedia that you had used a wrong and inexistente exchange rate.Disappointing that you publish this review, without checking the facts.

A boutique hotel close to all
This is a nice remoleded hotel. We reserved the suite because it said has a view but the reality is different is a nice and big room BUT TOO DARK AND HAS NO VIEW ONLY TO A WALL and the patio balcony with view was outside if the room. We downgraded in irder to have a toom with view. The furniture of the whole hotel is great and the breakfast really good. The heat is a problem since you have to request several times a day yo be turn on and they do it and after few hours is turned off until you ask again. The lication is great.

Dear guest, Thank you for your review. The master suite has its balcony, which lies behind the upper part of the facade. From the balcony you have a view over part of the city and the 2 characteristic mountains of Sucre. But we were happy to reaccommodate you according to your preference. Regarding the heat, in wintertime Sucre has normal day temperatures of around 20 degrees and night temperatures of less than 10. That´s why we only put on the heat in the night and during daytime only on request. Sorry, that it took a few hours, normally the central heating is effective within 15 minutes after the request. Great, that you enjoyed and extended your stay overall.

Great old building, nicely renovated
The room was a generous size with a good bed and nice furniture. TV was old, but that didn't bother me. Great views from the room and the terrace. Breakfast was basic but served in nice surroundings by friendly staff. Very good location, just a short two block walk to the central square. Overall, a very good experience.
From the terrace - the city's famous red-tile roofs and background hills
Terrace again, back the other way.

Not quite as nice as 3 years ago
We were surprised upon arrival at Villa Antigua that I had mistakenly reserved a room for 1 when I knew full well that my wife would be traveling with me. Recognizing my mistake I said I would gladly pay the difference. Upon checkout I was informed that the difference would be substantially more than I had estimated or later, upon examination, more than the difference between the Expedia posted rate for a double & what I had paid. No big deal but sort of leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Otherwise we like the hotel where we have stayed before. Indeed we got the same top deck room we had stayed in some 3 years ago. The hotel still has a nice feel to it, but was a bit barn like this time as it was scarcely half full. Plus the wear & tear of 3 years are evident & I would say that the owner needs to do a thorough pick-me-up. Little things: toilet seat loose, door btwn bathroom & bedroom off center and very difficult to close, the catch devise on the shades broken so shades couldn’t be kept open, shower curtain rod not properly fixed in place, the outdoor furniture need revamping. Little things. Plus like all but the best hotels a desperate need for more electric outlets – in today’s world we all have electronic devices that need charging. In Villa Antigua’s case all that would really be needed is to replace all single outlets (they all are) with double ones. Breakfast fine albeit not particularly notable

Feels like a new hotel
The Villa Antigua is a large building in a modern interpretation of colonial architecture, with really nice rooms. A terrace at the top provides great views of the city, and a garden in the back and inner courtyard provide lots of open space to spend time in when not in your room or out exploring Sucre. It is uncertain how new the hotel is, but everything looks new and sparkling clean, but at the same time still has many "new hotel" kinks to work out, like the dependability of cleaning staff, quality of breakfast, and which taxi company to rely on (not the one they currently use). Still a good choice in a good location for a worthwhile price.

A little treat in Sucre
I stayed for just one night in a single room before leaving the city. The hotel is a little out of the centre but this allows peace a quiet. It has a garden, terrace, courtyard and lookout. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom even had a bathtub and plug. Breakfast was good and the home made bread was a welcome change. Recommended for all who would like a little pampering in Sucre.

New Hotel in Sucre
We spent 3 days at this hotel in Sucre. It is barely 1 year old and is a very attractive adaptation of an old colonial mansion which has been completely rebuilt with the addition of a 3rd floor and roof top deck. The hotel is located about 2 ½ blocks from the city’s main plaza & is directly across the street for the entrance to the Museum of the Convent of Santa Clara. The rooms are ample in size & nicely decorated. Indeed the whole hotel is furnished with custom made wood furniture, which, while not exactly to my taste, is handsomely executed and gives a unifying sense to the hotel. The owner/manager is a Dutch born man in his mid 50’s who has been in Bolivia for over 20 years and has clearly built this hotel as a labor of love, Breakfast in served in a large room on the 2nd floor. While it is quite adequate – the usual coffee, juices, some fruit, bread & cheese, there is nothing special about it. Our room was on the top floor with virtually a private deck along side of it. We had our evening cocktails there enjoying the terrific view of the city. The staff was pleasant & accommodating, but since we speak Spanish we are not able to comment on their abilities in other languages.

Bien au calme
Hotel bien agréable à l'abri du tumulte de la ville où on peut se reposer dans un jardin bien agreable, sur la terrasse solarium ou encore près de la fontaine du patio. Dans ces 3 endroits sont disposés des tables et des banquettes. Les chambres sont très bien décorées et les salles de bain spacieuses. Le chauffage et l'eau chaude sont à volonté et très efficaces. Je recommande les chambres du dernier niveau, beaucoup plus lumineuse mais aussi où ont n'est pas perturbé par le bruit des pas de la chambre du dessus. Petit déjeuner suffisant. Accueil sympathique et professionnel. Bon WiFi

La estadia estuvo muy bien, aunque la habitacion que la reserva especificaba no era la correspondiente por que no tenia vista a ningun lado, estaba muy comoda y acogedora, el restaurant no atendia todo el dia por lo menos de noche no hay servicio y las recepcionistas muy agradables aunque el dueño una noche no me quiso dar la llave por no ser turista europea o norteamiricana y tener rasgos latinos, lo cual no me agrado mucho que digamos. el desayuno barbaro todo muy rico y abundante y tranquilo.

Son mezquinos con papel higiénico, luz,calefaccion
El hotel en general ha sido excelente pero algunos detalles como: Teníamos que solicitar mas de una vez que nos prendieran la calefacción pues no lo hacían naturalmente, y el clima estaba muy frío. Debíamos solicitar papel higiénico pues no tenían en cuenta la necesidad y no nos dejaban papel en el baño. Cuando volvíamos de noche, el pasillo hasta llegar a la habitación estaba completamente oscuro, y debíamos solicitar que nos encendieran la luz. La luz del baño del hotel era una miseria, al igual que las de la habitación, en la que además de ser luces muy pobres,tenían los focos quemados. Nos pareció una barbaridad que con el costo del hotel(que es relativamente caro si se lo compara con el costo de los hoteles en Bolivia), fueran tan mezquinos también, de cobrarnos por la solicitud de agua caliente.
