Yes Please! Hostel

The hostel is modern, the staff was very friendly and helpful. It has a kitchen that you can use and place to store your food. I stayed at the private room, that was spatious and comfortable. The bathrooms are shared but they are perfectly distributed, very practical and clean. Parking space is available infront of the hostel and there is a private lot close to it (not property of the hostel). The social areas are beautiful, with a pool, garden and sitting places to enjoy and relax. Good internet connection. The hostel has a do not disturb after 10pm policy which was great for people to respect others. The location is good. 5 blocks from the central park.

The rooms are not isolated so you can hear everything around you. So if there is people talking you will hear it.

I had an unpleasant experience of losing my wallet. I was certain that it was stolen from my bag as I had the same bad experience of being robbed earlier in this travel. I was angry that there were no lockers in the room. I called the hostel management and also the police to investigate via security cameras. Police actually never came. The manager came. First he was a bit on the defensive side but after I have openly communicated how important it was for me to have their full support and empathy for my situation; he had changed more positively and provided full support. We watched the cameras together, could not find anything. He has offered me free stay until I sort myself out. After several hours, I had a feeling that I should unload all my backpack once again and check every single corner. And I was shocked to find my wallet in my big backpack. I was quite ashamed and happy at the same time. I immediately informed the manager with my deepest apologies. And he was not angry nor reactive; on the contrary he was happy and relieved. In the overall I was happy with the hostal management about how they managed the whole situation. And the manager promised that they would install lockers.

Dorm room I stayed in did not have lockers.

Too many israelis

Honestly the greatest hostel I've stayed in. It felt like a hotel! I arrived in the early morning (with the night bus) and lovely Fatima was super welcoming. She lat me stay by the pool and later on there were some DJs playing, so it even became better 🤍 when I finally left the pool to check in, I saw the bed in the dorms is like a small private space and spacious ensuite bathroom, which made it very convenient. The staff was mega friendly and professional, and didn't hesitate to help me with random stuff (menthol cream, drying services to my bikini that refused to dry before the volcano hike, instructions and luggage storage), everything in a great mood and a big smile. Highly recommend 🌈

Maybe the price, but it was good worth for money

Very vibrant and well decorated. Has a large back garden with a pool and bar. Locals can buy a day pass to come use the bar and pool as well so it feels like a nice social place to meet other backpackers and locals. The private room is large and comfortable. I was able to arrange the acatenango hike through the hostel. It's a nice short walk into town and is surrounded by amazing bars and cafes but is just far enough from the main square that it's peaceful. Would definitely stay here again. You can actually see Acatenango and Fuego from the backyard. You can even see Fuego erupting. ALSO this was the first hot shower I had had in weeks. I was extremely grateful.

We stayed another night and lost our private room which was fine. We moved into the dorms and the beds were not very comfortable and they squeaked when you rolled over. The bell for backpackers coming in late was right on the wall outside the room so that woke me up twice.

Garden and a pool area with a bar was cool. Very sunny and chill area. Dorm with 8 beds and private bathroom was the best room in this hostel. Shower with hot water. All very clean and new. Small lamps/lights in each capsule style bed. Very private. Even if the window was open the whole night, it was not cold at all in the dorm and there was a fresh air all day/night. There was not noise from the bar during the night. Free drinking water. Nice and clean kitchen. Fatima from the reception was very helpful and friendly! All the staff. They can order shuttle for you at the reception. I came back to this hostel after couple of days and stayed another 2 days. I liked it there.

Wifi was not working very well. They show prices in usd on booking page, but you cant pay the same amount in usd in cash or by card. 5% extra fee for card payment and not the best exchange rate. Staff was not talking english. Not problem at all for me, but some clients had problem with some basic needs at the reception.

nice staff, socialising atmosphere, simple but very nice design of the hotel, rooms (had a single room) and facilities, comfy bed, a lot of space in the room, the backyard with the pool area really is a beautiful green oasis with a relaxed atmosphere - you wouldn't think you are kind of in the middle of Antigua. But you need to like music since the bar plays music from 10am-8am. Hostel is close to everything in town which is important since walking takes a bit of time due to cobblestone in the whole old town. Busy at day time, but quiet at night time (from 10pm onwards), so you can get a good night sleep

Please install some hooks in rooms and bathroom area, there is nothing to i.g. dry clothes, hang toiletry bag. Kitchen also could need some improvement, like: sharp knifes, toaster, kettle

Our room was very comfortable. If you leave your door open, you might expect the adorable hostel cat to come in. :) The common areas are nice, including a kitchen. The garden is beautiful and has a pool (in which outside guests are also allowed, but it's never really busy). You can even see the Fuego volcano eruption from the garden!

The WIFI is very slow. There are 4 toilets in the hostel from which only 2 can lock, and during our stay, 1 of them was out of order, so there was basically 1 toilet for multiple dorms and private room.

I really liked the Pool. It was very beautiful! The bathroom was clean as well. Overall the facilities were very clean. One night they had Taco night! The price was okay :)

I did not like that they play such loud, commercial music on the Pool. I was looking forward to relaxing, but with such loud music, it was difficult. They could use some more chill music, or look into more tasteful playlists!

Shared kitchen with 2-piece hotplate, microwave, toaster oven. Friendly staff. Clean. Spacious. Beautiful pool and garden area with lots of lounge options. Light and outlet beside each dorm bed. Quiet evenings.

Minor things but, The music by the pool during the day is bad. Very clubby, techno, not relaxing. It doesn't fit the vibe of the place at all. Also, the fridge is VERY cramped. They should do a fridge clean out then organize it by room or something so that they know when a person has left food behind. There should be some kind of labeling system.
