This hostile feels like a small boutique hotel. The space is amazing and communal. It’s super clean. The way the dorms are arranged gives you so much privacy w/ mattresses are super comfortable. Bathroom/shower - wow! breakfast was delicious and bar opens at night spins great music & yummy cocktails. The staff clearly care about their job because they’re hanging out giving people information and going above and beyond the call of duty. It’s no surprise Maya gets booked out way in advance!

I LOVED this hostel!!!! The atmosphere wasn't really a party but it was so social and so fun. We went to the free salsa class and it was a highlight of my trip! The beds were SO comfy and they give you two huge pillows. My only complaint is the top bunk was very difficult to get into! Showers were nice and hot as well. The staff was so friendly and I had the best time here! Get the banana pancakes for your free breakfast- quite literally the best breakfast I've had in my entire life! Cannot reco...

Die schönste Unterkunft meiner Reise :-) war hier leider nur eine Nacht, aber selbst im 14-Betten-Dorm war es super angenehm, wunderschöne Waschräume, alles sauber, super viele Sitzmöglichkeiten draußen, Wasser-Refill und sogar eine Küche, große Locker für den Backpack, super Frühstück, sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal – und eine sehr gute Lage! Winziges Manko wäre vielleicht die fehlende Dachterasse :-)

Not worth the money. The breakfast was good, but I would choose a different hostel in Antigua next time. It wasn’t very social and there were mostly couples. I also had a horrible experience with a staff member at check-in, which affected the rest of my stay and made me feel uneasy.

This hostel was fantastic! Best shower of my life after the volcano hike! Hot water. Three lovely dogs too! Stayed in both a dorm and a private room and both were amazing! Great location. Would return here!

Ich war nur eine Nacht da und kann daher lediglich das Zimmer und die anderen Räume bewerten. Das Zimmer hatte kein Fenster und war dementsprechend sehr dunkel, es war direkt gegenüber von der Bar und innerhalb des Außenbereichs, weshalb man von draußen alles hören konnte. Und ich muss sagen, dass ich mich nicht wirklich willkommen gefühlt habe. Abgesehen davon ist die Anlage schön, die Gemeinschaftsklos- und Duschen sind sehr sauber und schön gestaltet.

Booked a room with a private ensuite and even after showing my reservation to the staff, they told me I did not book a private ensuite. I had already paid cash by the time they showed me my room. They refused to refund me or provide different accommodations. I was a bit shocked by the staffs unapologetic and cold response. As a solo female, this did not make me feel safe. Do not recommend.

Good hostel, especially for after Acatenango. The beds are really comfy and the breakfast is great! Was not much going social wise when I was there bit after Acatenango that was fine for me.

This hostel is very resort-like, which is a great vibe! It’s a beautiful building with a yummy breakfast in the morning. This is definitely a more chill hostel which is great for relaxing before Acatenango. People do get up early for the volcano hike & other activities nearby, so if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs.
