The Purpose Hostel

one of the best hostels I stayed in during traveling Central America. This hostel felt extra homely and the staff were so friendly and happy to help out with any questions we had. Although there's no organized events at the hostel it was easy to socialize as everyone staying there was very friendly and chatty. Also a bonus that you get a great view of the volcanos from the rooftop.

Literally the loveliest hostel ever. Met so many lovely people, rooftop is perfectly cosy and peaceful with nooks for everyone. Every member of the staff here were so lovely and the place is always immaculately clean. Receptionists helped me with all my questions. Super homey, super recommend.

We had a brilliant stay at Purpose Hostel. The property itself is lovely, and the rooms are so spacious and much nicer than the photos online. Room had a wall fan and a plug in fan, both were great. The roof terrace was a favourite with an excellent view of the volcano. The hostel was clean all the time and unlimited drinking water, tea and coffee. Hot showers too. Recommend for anyone staying in Antigua!

Stayed in a private room which was nice, clean and quiet. The staff are super kind and friendly. I didn't love the shared toilet /showers, as there's only shower curtains for privacy.

Nice folks. The staff was extremely helpful. A safe space for a quiet place to sleep. Will come again.

Great stay! Can only recommend!!!

Best hostel I’ve stayed in in a very long time. It’s run by women and I’ve never felt so safe and at home while travelling. The place is incredibly clean, honestly the cleanest hostel I’ve ever been to. The views of the volcano are also the best in Antigua, which makes it even more special. But the best part is the staff. They really make the whole experience, so kind, welcoming and you can feel they truly care. I actually extended my stay, came back again, and would 100% return.

Perfect peaceful hostel for pre or post Acatenango hike. Quiet but still social if you’re looking to meet people. The staff was so helpful and kind. Beautiful rooftop and common areas to hang. The kitchen was super clean and organized and had every appliance you could think of or need. The staff washes your dirty dishes for you which is so nice! Only complaint is the showers didn’t stay hot after a few minutes despite the hostel advertising hot showers but what can you expect. Would stay aga...

Nice place to Stay. Great Host.

pire expérience ! je n'y retournerai jamais ! je devais y passer 3 nuits et apres la première j'ai book autre part ! je ne recommende pas

I only stayed here for one night, before my Acatenango hike, but I really loved it. The hostel had everything you need. Dorm bed was comfy. Rooftop was lovely, great views! Staff were sooooo friendly, happy to keep my luggage in a locked locker while I hiked and full of very patient with my many questions and full of helpful advice. Highly recommend!

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in! Such a lovely calm vibe, beautiful rooms, comfy beds with curtains, very clean, amazing view from the terrace (they have yoga mats!) One little thing that I missed was a better kitchen for cooking- there's no sink and just a basic camping stove, but therefore you don't have to clean the dishes yourself.

This was a great hostel, I wish I could’ve stayed longer! The terrace was beautiful! So great to hang out at night:) very peaceful! The beds were comfy and the staff was so friendly:)

The owner (I think?) is one of the loveliest women. She gives great care and attention to everyone staying there. Very helpful and caring. I love the rooftop area! If I come back, this is where I’m staying.

Amazing hostel and amazing stay. The staff are incredibly nice and go out of their way to help if there are any issues or you have any questions about anything. They helped me find the location of my next accommodation as well. The rooftop is so worth it. Would 100% stay again, choose the 4 person dorm, worth it!

Really really nice hostel. The staff are super helpful and always making you feel welcome and letting you know what's going on in the City. They provide lockers to keep all your items safe as well as a lock and have a nice little shop that you can grab stuff from whenever you need. It's not super loud and perfect if planning to do the hike

The hostel was okay overall, but the facilities are starting to show some wear and tear. While the stay was acceptable, the value for money isn’t very competitive compared to other hostels in the city that offer more modern, comfortable spaces at better prices.

So nice! Would recommend

This is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in! The staff is amazing, sweet and so helpful. The beds are nice and the rooftop is really cool. Not the most social hostel, but it depends what you make of it, I met some really cool people here! Felt really safe as a female solo traveler!

Lovely spot, and staff, was just surprisingly expensive. Roof top lounge area was really nice & kitchen was well equipped.
