I can't stop praising this place – truly an amazing hostel, practically in the center of town! Everything was great. The staff are wonderful and always available if you need anything. The owner, Tom, is incredibly kind, communicative, and full of helpful travel advice. You can really tell he cares about the guests and wants everyone to have a good experience. Highly recommended – one of the best hostels we've stayed at in Guatemala!

“Classic, clean and pleasant hostel, great host!”
Kasa Kiwi is a delightful, classic hostel. The owner/host, Tom, was very helpful, and if you are an English speaker you'll appreciate the ease of communicating (all-Spanish is typical). Very clean and well run. Nice!

“Great value for money”
For the price, this was great. Really helpful, Friendly owners who organised excursions for others and gave advice about transport. I actually got a double bed in my dorm room which was comfortable. Bathroom facilities were outside downstairs and basic but clean. Social vibe and great location in Xela.

“Decent and basic. Has the potential to be much better.”
The kitchen is nice (but would be nice to equip with some basics such as oil). Dorm is spacious with plugs and tables/cupboards for each bed. Atmosphere is nice. Good location. Hosts are nice (but often not present).

Very friendly staff, location is great, close to cafes, food stalls, restuants and bars, plus rooftop has a great view. Private rooms are good value for money.
