We were super glad we found this place! After arriving in Antigua, we discovered over and over of Antigua hostels being infested with bed bugs(!), but NOT this place=) We did a very thorough check of the beds here (because of our first bug experiences in Antigua) and they were definitely clean (no evidence that they ever had bugs).

great place for the price. quiet, clean, good working facilities, and a nice little roofdeck with a decent view of the surrounding volcanoes. we found it to be in walking distance of the main city square and most of the city, with lots of nice restaurants/bars around that area in general. (btw - we traveled in July 2011).

$5 a night for a dorm bed, plus a Hot shower! On demand hot water that does not run out! Though they have five or six private rooms, it is hard to go wrong for dorm beds that are five bucks. Private rooms are a steal as well, $25-$35 a room, but the showers are better in the dorms. Book... More

By Guatemalan standards it is worth 4 stars, by US standards 3. But it is nice and clean, has a, friendly and capable staff, offers dorm rooms, singles and doubles with private baths. A rooftop patio is a delightful spot to relax. Nice decor too. Two blocks from the central plaza. Wi-fi plus a computer in the officina. Good value... More

In early November of last year I stayed at this hostel and boy could I have stayed longer! When I first arrived I was greeted by genuine smiles from the front desk staff and they never wore off the entire six nights I stayed there. The 12-bed dorm room was spacious, with lockers for each guest. The two dorm bathrooms... More

I stayed at this terrific little hostal for just two nights and wished I could have stayed longer! The staff is very friendly and helpful at the front desk, giving directions, recommendations, looking up things, etc. My room was very clean as was the entire hostal. The shower was hot, my bed was comfy, and the wi-fi was mostly good,... More

This is not a party hostel which is ideal if you're just passing through Antigua with a shuttle to somewhere else early in the morning. The staff was nice, they didn't speak English like many of the reviews here said but hey, it's latin America, learn some Spanish.

Great hostel, excellent service, doorman at night very reassuring and friendly, close to everything. Best location and close to supermarket and markets. Blender in the kitchen perfect for fresh fruit smoothies - just add rum to them to enjoy roof terrace in afternoon. Thanks all!
