Hostal Macarena

It’s okay, but it should be cheaper for what it is. The rooms are uncomfortable, the breakfast isn’t good and doesn’t include coffee (which is crazy considering there’s literally a coffee shop inside), so it feels like it’s set up to make you buy coffee separately. It also always surprises me when towels, blankets, etc. aren’t included. Booking tours through the hostel isn’t very convenient either. Overall, it kind of felt like they were trying to find ways to make guests pay more.

The breakfast that the hostel serve really small and basic in addition the hostel doesn't serve free coffee in the morning like he said. We left at 6:00 am and ask to get packed breakfast and the hostel didn't agree and said that it's our problem although we ask one day before

Very nice hostel, friendly staff and nice cafe (which was great to hang out in when it was raining!). Free breakfast is great & they even do a packed lunch if you go to Tikal early. Cats are cute! The dorm beds were spacious and comfy, but one bathroom between 8 is not great. Also you don’t get much sleep as people are getting up all through the night for Tikal tours. Unfortunately the place is hugely overpriced just for a dorm bed even though it is nice. Also got charged so much for laundry

El hostal está muy limpio y el personal es amable y servicial. Las zonas comunes son muy oscuras y poco equipadas. El hostal no ofrece ningún tipo de actividad interactiva y los tours son más caros que en las agencias. Me sentí muy decepcionada con el desayuno, ya que mi elección del hostal dependía principalmente de este, que consiste en huevos revueltos y una rebanada y media de pan (ni siquiera dos), lo cual me parece una miseria, y además el café no está incluido.

Although the staff was really attentive, I didn’t particularily enjoy my stay at Macarena. The hostel also has cute cats - but not so cute when also using the kitchen area: sleeping on the plates in the shelf, eating food out of the bin or playing with a cockroach next to you cooking… Moreover, the kitchen was badly equipped and very dirty. Also there is a ban on consuming outside alcohol, which rather backfired and lead to people partying and drinking IN the dorm room until 3 am…

Upon arrival I was told the hostel didn’t have running water so they sent me to a nearby hotel that I shared with other unfortunate guests. The next day I repacked and moved into the hostel (which threw a wrench in my Tikal plans). I was put in a bed that had 3 ft of black mold lining the wall next to where I was sleeping on the bottom bunk. The room was damp and snelled of mildew. WiFi is spotty. On the plus side, staff was nice, and breakfast was good.

Clean hostel but unfriendly staff!

Horrible. Tenía que estar 5 noches y salí huyendo a la tercera. No entiendo los buenos comentarios. Las habitaciones son extremadamente pequeñas. Estás demasiado cerca de tus compañeros de cuarto y ni siquiera caben las maletas. El personal parece que te está haciendo un favor por hacer su trabajo. El desayuno está escaso, pero aceptable, pero el café se paga aparte, por lo que te acaba costando como un desayuno de la calle. Sucio. Los baños son los que utiliza todo el hostel. No recomi...

Ants in my bed. Could get breakfast because it was 6.58, not 7, shower was not working properly

Definitely think this place was overpriced for what it was. Beds were comfy but the rooms were very small. Could barely open our bags. Definitely not a social Hostel there are no sort of activities or social spaces ( except two couches), would not recommend if solo travelling. The kitchen was never cleaned and left in a dirty state every day.

Il fait très chaud et l'air climatisé est en marche seulement de 7 PM à 7 AM dans les chambres. Cependant, le personnel nous a accommodé à quelques reprises. Personnel très gentil. Ils peuvent réserver un taxi vers l'aéroport à votre place. Déjeuner correct (mais gratuit!). :)

It’s a nice place but a little pricey. Good for 1-2 nights max.

Nice hostel! Good beds with curtains and AC. Cute garden area. Breakfast is good too. I did have 2 fighting cats in my dorm, no clue how they got there :-)

Cute little place with comfy beds

Good place, good location, can be cleaner and the air conditioner can be better. But overall a good place to stay.

Frühstück inbegriffen. Da ich kein Kaffee trinke, habe ich stattdessen nach einem Tee gefragt. Die Dame wollte diesen verrechnen, das hat mich sehr enttäuscht. Sonst war das Personal sehr nett und kompetent.

Great laidback hostel at a convenient spot in town (although when staying anywhere on the island you will be close as a walk around the isla is only 15 minutes or so). Some showers have great pressure and warmth (even though some don't, I kept using the last regular one, the big one on the end didn't seem as nice). Staff is great, towels and laundry for reasonable prices. Minor point for the AC being off during the day, which makes the rooms quite hot when returning after a day of sightseeing.

I loved here! The lockers are proper lockers for big pack packs, very private bunks with proper curtains and lights, clean, very kind and local people attending the hostel. It wasn’t a social hostel but I enjoyed the food and the chill spaces they have.

Great location. We had spacious lockers to store our stuff. AC was definitely welcome. Free breakfast was included! Two lovely cats, especially the grey one was very cuddly. Not the most social hostel I would say.

Really enjoyed my stay at Hostal Macarena in Flores. Everything was good overall and the staff were very helpful. Great coffee and cookies. It was lively enough that meeting and connecting with other travellers felt easy. I had the takeaway breakfast both days—nothing special, but it did the job. Location is great, although Flores island is so small you can’t really go wrong wherever you stay.

I found a live cockroach in the room and when I told the staff they told me that we could have entered it in one of our tours outside the hostel. This doesn't make any sense and I found it disrespectful since it's taking away all the responsibility and giving it to someone else.

The staff were extremely helpful and helped me book tours to Tikal and Yaxha when I arrived even before I could check in. They also have breakfast to go if you have an early morning tour. The common areas are nice, beds are comfortable and rooms are clean

Great hostel in a perfect location on the island. Giving them extra marks for being so kind and understanding about the nightmare bus journey that I endured to get to Flores. Would be nice to have a few more sinks and mirrors for those needing the shared bathrooms, but that aside, it seems like the best option in town.

They have big lockers in the rooms along with locked doors into each room plus someone at the front desk. This place was great overall. Awesome location, good people. Was relatively quite too.

The hostel has nice staff and a super cute cafe next door with really good drinks. The kitchen was being renovated therefore no idea how it usually is. Beds comfy, rooms have everything you need. Bathrooms shared (depending on what room type you book) and warm water. All in all a good hostel but not much of a chill out hangout vibe even though they haves cute little garden and some hammocks on the roof mini terrace. Recommend comparing prices of tours.

Very comfortable stay. Nice relaxed environment. Not the most social hostel in the area but near other social areas and hostels so it’s a perfect balance. The coffee shop connected is amazing!!

Property is good value for money, although a fan on in the rooms during the day would be great. staff are excellent as is the cafe it is attached too!

Nice and clean hostel. Free breakfast and they even prepare a lunch box if you are leaving early.

Muy limpio todo y muy agradable el hostal. los gatos eran super lindos y cariñosos ♥️

Really nice hostel to keep it calm but still talk to some people. The don’t have activities to get to know others, though they can book you tours and shuttles. The free breakfast is really good, the rooms are nice as well and bathrooms are decent and clean. I liked the little garden to sit there in the morning and they have really sweet cats. I can recommend staying here to have a nice time
