We stayed for a few nights in April. Yellow House is a very nice place. We had never stayed anywhere that had shared bathrooms before, and it wasn't a problem--spotless. Breakfasts were great. The tour booking company in the front lobby is very competitive price wise, and convenient. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Me and a friend stayed at yellow house a few weeks back for two nights. The hostel is in a good location, and like the other reviews say they have a great breakfast included in the price. One down side was our room; we stayed in the private room just between the dorm/reception and the kitchen and were woken up... More

Room was clean & uncluttered with a beautiful balcony area overlooking the cobbled streets with fantastic views of the surrounding volcanoes. Staff were very helpful & friendly. Breakfast was an incredible feast , wide choice of food. Communal areas kept clean. A great place to relax & explore Antigua from. Would definitely return x

The Yellow House in Antigua is one of the best hostels in the world! Accommodation is comfy and great value and a massive buffet breakfast is provided each day! It also acts a travel agent and can organise all the attractions you want to do for you! They were very helpful for us especially when one of our urgent taxis... More

We stayed here for the better part of a month and it was incredible the entire time. The breakfast alone has a value of $40-50Q. It was definitely something we looked forward to every day and was so big that we only needed a small snack for lunch. Although the kitchen is small it has everything you need and the... More

We stayed in yellow house for 2 nights during semana Santa. The breakfast was incredible, including beans, potatoes, tamalitos, and a make-your-own Omlette station. We stayed on the second floor, right near the patio with great hammocks and views if the whole procession. The staff was helpful with setting up trips around the country.

We were planning a trip to Guatemala and came across the yellow house in the lonely planet guide. It's one of their top picks and easy to see why. We gave them our wish list of things to do and they booked everything. Great staff and tasty breakfast is included. Rooms, washrooms and common areas are super clean.
