It was my first time staying in a capsule and honestly it was a great experience. I loved how we each had our choice to turn on the fan, change the color of lighting, and had our own mirror inside the capsule! Honestly, I loved it so much l, I ended up extending for 3 nights. I would have given this hostel a 10, but I needed to change my dates a second time and they were inflexible towards that, which made me had to change all my plans all together. Other than this mild annoyance, from the breakfast, to the staff and overall concept of the hostel was great. Two things I would like to mention also is that the internet in the capsule wasn't always very functional and that you can apparently ask for a towel free of charge (I didn't know about this until my last night).

The million-dollar view from the top terrace where you can sit and drink your free coffee or tea, the charming patio with the tallest avocado tree I've ever seen. The very helpful staff. Comfortable beds. Full kitchen, library. My 3rd visit and I will be back!

This place is amazing, very clean and cozy. Fernando goes above and beyond for its guests. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom is clean. I was in a suit on the second floor, and even though the bathroom is shared, it's only shared with one more room. You have a view of the volcanoes. Also, walking distance from Antigua's historical streets. The breakfast was very simple (different kinds of cereal, pancakes, homemade jam, little toast, Guatemalan style frijoles or beans, fruits, coffee, milk, and tea). However, for the price, I guess this is fine. Thus, you have access to the kitchen and fridge in case you want to cook your own meal. I had a great experience overall. We will definitely be back!

All hostels in Guatemala

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Hostel is in safe modern area - lot of hipster coffee spots (one of them just next door), restaurants and also great modern foodcourt 1 min walking. It has quite nice terrace and kitchen. It is approx. 20mins walking to the city center. Overall, although accommodation was not ideal, for 1-2 nights it was okayish, taking account the fact, that it is hard to find cheap accommodation in safe zones in Guate City.

    The location was fantastic. Close to the airport and in an upmarket, safe area but only a 20 minute walk from the city centre. There are some nice restaurants and some shops nearby. The Hostel is in a secure compound with a garden and terrace where you can have an excellent breakfast. The room was basic but clean and good value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful. It's a great choice for travelers on a budget.

    Hostel is in a safe neighborhood and is actually cheap so I didn't expect much. However it definitely needs better cleaning cause I don't think our beds had their linen changed on that day cause we saw hair in our sheets and they had dust stains.

    I like Christian the manager , he is very helpful. The breakfast is basic but nice and sets one up for the day. People are friendly and accommodating. The showers are always warm. The bed sheets are changed every couple of days on request. The area are quit but safe and an ATM and shop are 30 m walk from the hostel. The kitchen is well set up for making own meals. As a budget traveler the hostel meets all requirements.
