Absolutely loved this place! I was staying in a 6 person dorm, everything was so clean, modern, very convenient. The rooftop is really nice with a perfect view over the volcanoes! The people working in that hostel is very nice, very caring, I felt very welcome and comfortable. The location is simply perfect, very very centred with every commodities around it. The value for money for me was unbeatable!
The only thing that is lacking is a kitchen I think but then this hostel would be crazy good! (They let me use the microwave at the reception to heat up some water though!)

This place is very central, easy to find and to walk everywhere. I loved the colourful decor and how big the space actually was. The doorms are spacious, with lockers and fans, and individual sockets and lamps. I also appreciated the dark rooms, which made me have some good long rests. It is a quiet hotel with a silence curfew at 10pm. The place also has an amazing terrace to hang out and take in the views of Antigua. I also found the WiFi to be working extremely well in all parts of the hotel. They even have a co-working space. I really appreciated the cleaniness of this place, whith daily thorough cleaning of all spaces and toilets. It is such a great hotel for backpackers on a budget that I actually extended my stay by a few days.

Great value for money. Clean, spacious, and so helpful to have filtered water everywhere. The staff were always delightful and helpful.
The noise insulation of the building is not the best, as we could clearly hear the conversations of guests on the roof from our roof, but nothing a pair of earplugs can’t solve. This is also not even remotely a social hostel, which may or may not phase you! It’s also a tad annoying to have to ring the bell at night and wait for the front door to be opened, but it’s only at night and they’re very quick.

The location is amazing, right next to everything. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful (I don’t think I met a single one who wasn’t at this hostel), soap and hot water in showers, and a great terrasse at the top. The place is clean. There’s free pool access at the sister hostel too. I booked one night and stayed much longer
Small items. There is no kitchen, not even a fridge, and the beds are a bit hard. The wifi works great on the 1st floor, but can cut out sometimes on the 2nd floor and the terrasse.

Fantastic staff, excellent cleaners, new and quality management. They recently changed management an upgrade from previous management, and rest assured any previous concern have been ironed out. I also liked the ambition they have for the hostel improvements, including the construction of a kitchen. I extended many times here. Lovely area. Helpful staff. Thank you
No kitchen, but soon to be constructed. Only lockers with capability to attach a padlock on in some.rooms. think they have plans for this too

Nice courtyard area with seating. Water refill spots throughout the hostel. Colorful and light decor. Beds were comfy. Rooms felt clean and spacious enough. Location very central and near lots of restaurants. Staff are nice too!
If we’d wanted to store luggage during acatenango I think they said it would be 50 per person for the night, plus extra for surfboards, whereas other hostels don’t charge. But for the price of the hostel in general really good value and we would return!

i took the small single room with private bathroom. it was small and smelled a little mouldy. But when the windows were kept open, it was pleasant. Cleanliness was okayish. But for the price, it was amazing value for money, just one block away form the central park. Lot of eateries and coffee shops around. Very nice and helpful staff. A cool rooftop to sit and relax.
No fan is a concern, but i opened the windows during the night, and got quality sleep and faced no mosquito or noise problems.

Was spacious and clean. Had a whole dormitory to myself. Bathrooms were good. Staff were friendly. Overall a very good experience, but it was only for one night.
Non of these are deal breakers. Didn't get a tour of the facilities, but I checked in very late. The dorm doors have locks, but no key, and the windows were always open, and the lockers were the same, locks but no keys, so not great in terms of security for your belongs. The dorm windows looked into the courtyard so could hear everyone stalking and talking.

The hotel was near everything we wanted to see and do.A lit of restaurants nearby as well.The staff was amazing, very willing to help with everything. Room was clean and comfortable.No AC, but we were able to get a small fan that worked just great.
Our room price went up even though we booked months in advance due to new management, the new price wasn't that bad. Plus, all hotels nearby were expensive on holy week.

Great location, overall very clean, friendly and helpful staff. Very basic facilities at very affordable prices. Perhaps one of the lowest cost hotels/hostels in the city.
Interior bathrooms and bedrooms have little airflow. There are fans but it is warm, and worse, pretty humid and musty smelling. Also, I personally didn't need it, but I suppose no kitchen or common areas could be a negative.
