We stayed here three times whilst travelling in Guatemala. There are shared bathrooms for all rooms (we usually opt for private bathroom) but they were so clean we didn't mind! The staff are friendly and helpful, and the girls are always cleaning! Excellent breakfast included. Good wifi. Free water. Located opposite Cafe No Se, so there can be some pub... More

Already my third stay there and I still love it. In fact the attraction to this place is still growing. If you think of staying in the city of Antigua (highly recommended) some points which speak for EL HOSTAL B&B: - Centrally located (5 mins walk to Parque Central) in a safe area of Antigua - no problems of walking...

This place is amazing.. A five minute walk from Parque Central and opposite the best bar in town..( don't let that put you off, the street noise is minimal and there are rooms set further back.) El hostel is the cleanest place I've stayed, the staff are extremely helpful and friendly...you really feel as though you're part of a family.... More

Been travelling for 4 months now and my girlfriend and I stayed at their place for our first couple nights in Antigua before we moved into a student house and absolutely loved it! Really what made me happy about the place was how clean everything was, especially the bathrooms. Very impressive guys. Also the service was excellent and proffessional. Not... More

This is a very nice place in the center of Antigua. Don't be fooled by your 1st look at the map - you might think this place is a bit out of town but actually it is just a 5 minutes walk to the parque central. There are nice bars around the hostel which has free wifi and very clean... More

If you haven't spent much time in Guatemala, perhaps you can't appreciate the quality of these mattresses!! Haven't had such a good night's sleep ever in a hostel. Not to mention tasty *FREE* breakfast, spotlessly clean bathrooms (with REAL hot showers) and a friendly, multilingual staff. And they have two hammocks in the courtyard, free wi-fi, and there's a rooftop... More

Every review about this place is completely true and it's def worth staying here while you are in Antigua. The staff are really friendly and helpful, so professional. The breakfast is amazing and def worth the stay. The private rooms are great although the dorm rooms are not amazing as the bunk beds are a little wobbly and creaky and... More

I stayed here one night to break up a long bus ride and was pleasantly surprised with El Hostal. I called very last minute and the receptionist happily got me a dorm bed for q80.00. It is clean and quiet, offers free breakfast (sooo delicious) and they were extremely helpful when I was trying to plan my next trip. The... More
