Found this place to not meet our expectations. While it's on the cheaper end, we found its actually similar to other hotels that are much nicer for a private room. The pictures are deceiving. No social feel at all, the grounds are very run down and just had a sad/dull feel. . The private room and bathroom was stained, the bathroom was a wet bathroom and had a damp odor. The breakfast was very lackluster. Location is off a main busy road at the end of town. Still walkable but definitely not central.

“Calm hostel where it’s also easy to socialise”
I felt quite comfortable in the hostel. They are very communicative and can arrange a shuttle for you to/from the airport at any time of the day, for 350Q. The breakfast is a nice plus, it’s pancakes, fruit, milk and cereal, as well as coffee and tea, as much as you want. You can also get through them shuttles to different places like Panjachel or El Paredon and book the Acatenango tour (I liked it, well priced, nice guides, good cabins to sleep in, just the sleeping bags were a bit too thin and therefore it was cold). The shower has good water pressure and hot water which is a great plus. They also have a nice garden you can chill in and because of the breakfast, it’s quite easy to socialise. The staff is always helpful and they also have a large kitchen to cook in.

“Great place to stay on Antigua”
Lovely little hostel. The capsule beds are super comfortable, great lockers for storage, each has a curtain with a light and sockets. The garden area is nice to relax in. Kitchen is great, with filtered water. The breakfast is amazing in the morning and the staff cannot help you enough.

“Comfortable Stay with amazing hosts”
Really friendly and welcoming hosts! They did everything they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible. They even organize shuttles and offer free dancing classes, which was such a nice touch. I really enjoyed having small chats with them, and communication was absolutely perfect.

Staff were lovely and always available to assist. Dorm was clean and quiet. Off a main road but quiet due to location of dorm at rear of hostel. Breakfast included. Thank you ladies.

Sent out clothes to laundry, specifically asked for them not be tumble dried. Received the laundry back tumble dried. Most of our clothes is ruined now. We ask for some sort of reimbursement of damages. The employees told us that the owner refuses to take any sort of accountability, and makes the employees pay it out of their own pocket

This hostel was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they even let me move to a lower bunk when I asked and the whole place has a very chilled vibe. The dorm room is quite basic but it has everything you need and it's very good for the price.
