Quetzalroo was hands-down the best hostel I've ever stayed in. We were picked up from the airport by Manuel's (the hostel owner) sister Anaisabel. We took a shuttle organized by the hostel to Antigua (about $15 per person) where Manuel's brother Marcos gave us a thorough tour of the city, complete with a visit to a hole-in-the-wall restaurant with extremely...

This was an excellent hostel! The owner picked us up promptly at our bus station, and also dropped us off at the airport. The hostel also offers very cheap luggage storage during travel.

My wife and I recently used Quetzalroo to organise a 6 day tour of Guatemala for my family and friends that were visiting us from the UK. We were blown away with their level of support and friendly service for our group, who´s ages ranged from 13 to 60 years. They took all of the stress out of planning the... More

What Quetzalroo is: A safe place to stay in a not-so-safe city with a friendly staff that will go out of their way to accomodate you and help you along with your travels. It's secure, reliable, and efficient. What Quetzalroo is not: Very spacious or fresh. It's clean, but there are a lot of people in a small space and... More
