Located on a safe street in a safe part of town, the hostel is simple but clean. Staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast was decent, and there's a good kitchen and internet. It's close to the transmetro, so easy access into the center of town. Guate gets a bad rep, but we found the city has a big focus on... More

When we arrived (at 9pm at night) they charged us $20US each which I thought... More

The room was fairly clean and basic. There was a locker for which you might want to bring a basic lock. Security didn't seem to be an... More

I had a terrible time here, but I can see the advantages for others. First, the location is great. It's safe to walk at night, and there are a lot of restaurants and bars to frequent in the Zona Viva. It's relatively clean, there's one computer with internet access, and a living room with t.v. If you're young, traveling with... More

The Hostel is quite friendly, multi-lingual, inexpensive, and it has free airport shuttle if there are three people in your group or you are staying... More
