Really lovely and clean hostel in Guatemala City, located in a really nice area with restaurants and shopping centre near by. Lots of outside area to chill, only thing was the bathroom showers didn’t have locks just a curtain! But otherwise amazing place to stay.

Friendly staff. Quiet place. Showers and toilets super clean. The only suggestion is probably having lockers for bags. Denis is super kind and friendly always ready to help guests. Great location in Zona 10 sorrounded by restaurants and grocery stores. Easy access to the airport.

Great place to relax before the start of your trip in guatemala, or before the end of it/your flight. Don't expect a party/social hostel though, it's a very quiet and lowkey hostel. But, in exchange they have very, very clean dorms, privates and bathrooms. Water shut off b4 i left🥀 BUT all the staff is nice. Bkfast is sufficent (i would get more food outside) If you need help finding the hostel, google/uber "Casa Escobar". It's on the corner. Walk fwd and the hostel will be on LEFT. (Tiny sig...

Hm hm, this place is a no for me. I specifically stayed here because the 6 bed dorm had a en-suite bathroom but that was a LIE. My room was right next to the pool and we had the door open and this 10 year old girl and cleaning lady were running around and playing through the room. I was like noooo, is this your room? There’s no curtain in dorm thus a huge lack of privacy. 0 vibes with other guest, ppl were cold and rude. Breakfast is mid. No luggage storage. Overall, a no for me.

Super hostel proche de l'aéroport, idéal pour une arrivée ou un départ en avion. Agréablement surpris par le petit déjeuner. Serviettes disponibles gratuitement également, ça fait toujours plaisir

Für eine Nacht war es ok und man ist sehr nah am Flughafen. Länger würde ich aber auch nicht bleiben wollen. Ein Schild am Eingang, dass sich dort das Hostel befindet hätte uns die Suche in der Nacht erleichtert. Das Frühstück war auch kein Highlight.

There is NO SIGN out front, possibly for security reasons. My shuttle driver and I spent 20 minutes driving around and trying other spots before he called (my phone didn't have connectivity). This is a decent place for a night in GC while transiting, and I recommend it for that. Basic, functional, no atmosphere to speak of, and no communal gathering/sitting area. But, good breakfast in decent area close to airport.

Great value, great location. Both bedrooms that I stayed in only had windows to the interior hallway, but still, they were clean, nice, and good size. Would stay again!

+: near airport, intimate beds (sleeping in a cube thingy), spacious room, internet works well, warm water for showers -: nothing that comes to mind from a 1 night stay to get to the airport.

good location...hard to find due to NO sign outside, rooms so so, toilets too small, one bathroom has been out of service for weeks, lame breakfast, staff mostly clueless, gal who speaks English is awesome, mosquitoes, construction next door...pool area nice if it's sunny. You may like it.

Für ein Stadt Hostel ganz oke. War nur eine Nacht dort, dass war auch genug.

Local perto do aeroporto e em um bairro seguro, mas longe do centro. Banheiros sujos e velhos. Duchas são tanto para homens quanto para mulheres e portas não fecham direito. Quartos escuros. Cozinha meio suja.

Nice people, good facilities, safe location near Oakland Place Mall. If your driver can’t find it, tell them Casa Escobar is on the corner.

Goed hostel, alles was wel verzorgd. Heb hier maar 1 nacht overnacht en heel vroeg moeten vertrekken om mijn vlucht te halen. Er stond aangegeven met de kaart te kunnen betalen, na meerdere pogingen was dit niet gelukt en ben ik voor mijn laatste dag in Guatemala nog geld moeten gaan afhalen waardoor het verblijf redelijk duur was. Normaal zit er ook een gratis ontbijt in maar door mijn vroeg vertrek heb ik dit niet gekregen wat ik persoonlijk wel jammer vond.

Hostel is okay for an overnight stay or if you want a no-social-day. Pool is in a bad state. No vibes at all in the hostel. Breakfast is good !

loved this place. lots of space, cute pool area, plenty of toilets and bathroom areas always clean. great kitchen. beds were clean and comfortable. the air got a bit stuffy inside the capsule style beds so little fans would be great! Simple pancake breakfast is a great touch. location is safe and easy to find, but it's the posh area of town so not much for those that like to mix with locals and see the 'real' area. but I would definitely recommend this hostel for a stay before/after the airport.
