    These are really negative points, just think to consider that could strongly influence your stay. 1. I'm 189cm tall and found navigating the sleeping situation a bit awkward. I took up the entire length of the capsule. Maybe consider the bungalow for more space. That said, I was still able to sleep very well 2. The showers are centrally located like a typical hostel. Again, this is just something to be aware of, but it's fine and as I mentioned it is kept consistently clean

    The location was particularly good for me as it made Hiking Acatenango through Soytours very straight forward. A pick up point was close by and the hostal kept my things overnight for when I returned from the hike (I had booked to continue my stay with them) It was a quiet stay and I was extremely thankful for that as the hike was tiring! I especially liked the simple breakfast of watermelon hot drinks, and pancakes. It was plentuful and on time Azucena even prepared it 30 min early to accommodate my early morning wake up before the Acatenango hike. Thank you. The toilets, showers, and other communal areas are regularly cleaned. Towels are available for free too.

    Not an issue for us, but if it has been a hot temperature I think the glamping area could be too hot even with the fan as it acts like a greenhouse in the sun. There was some noise from the gym and music school but this was only during the day and did not disturb our sleep

    Friendly staff who let us leave our bags early after doing Acantenago. We stayed in the 'eco bungalows' Glamping and would recommend. It rained a lot during our stay and we kept dry. The communal outdoor kitchen is really nice and allowed us to meet with other travelers. The shower was one of the best I have used in Guatemala, good pressure and temperature.

    Owner and staff were very welcoming. Transit in and out of antigua was arranged for a fair price. Location is quiet and convient short walk to the main area. It's not a social hostel but a very clean and convenient one. I opted for the glamping dome. It was comfortable and clean

    Not a knock, but scrambled eggs with breakfast would have blown my expectations even more threw the roof.

    We rented one of the igloo pods in the back. I LOVED that it was in GRASS (open grass is hard to find here), and lots of natural light in the Igloo. Plazuela San Sebastián (across the street) is my new favorite park in the city. Also comes with fresh PANCAKES in the morning!?

    Only improvement would be some kind of signage outside so you can actually figure out which building this gem hides in.

    Nice, new modern hostel with great facilities, decent breakfast included and the most awesome hot showers i came across.

    I booked the Acatenango hike with them (which I highly recommend in and of itself) and they stored my unecessary belongings for that time and let me use their facilities again when I came back.... Even though I just stayed and paid for one night. Very friendly service :)

    Decent hostel in Antigua

    Wifi was ok, but kept dropping out in the dorm. Found the wifi to be better where the sofas are. Whilst the pods are nice, it appears the majority of them don’t have doors (mine did, but I asked for one with a door) they’re also not sound proof.

    Decent location but a little walk into the centre of Antigua, super warm showers which was very much appreciated after finishing the Acatenango hike. Breakfast is nice, unlimited cereal and pancakes. They offer a laundry service for between Q50-80 (weight dependent)

    Space style makes it special
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Single Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room

    • Submitted from a mobile device

    The dorms have these 'Japanese pods' which give them a real spaceship style. You can close the sliding door completely with a card and therefore wouldn't even need a locker. Every bed has a fan, light, charging, mirror, etc. Only downside is that the card makes noises to open and the sliding doors are quite loud as the whole 'box' is plastic. Coming home every night at 1am I'm pretty sure I woke up some people in my room with it. I realized that I've been actually lucky as most of the other rooms have no doors or curtains at the beds and people would put a sheet to get some privacy. Location is good: bout 5-10 minutes walk to the street market, to the square with street food, supermarket, ATM, salsa school, las Palmas bar etc. Bathrooms with hot shower, and kitchen with everything you'll need (no oven). ..all clean and spacious. Breakfast (fruit, instant pancakes with sirup, fruit, cornflakes and milk, coffee, tea) included. It runs out super quick and I learned the first morning that I have to actively tell the people working there that there's literally nothing left and ask them politely but vehemently for any food. Staff is friendly but lacks attendance from time to time. The 24-7 reception is great- giving you the possibility to explore bars and clubs and cone late or leave early for any tour or shuttle.

    All good.

    Great location. Staff very good. Beds comfy, like the idea of the pod type, but could be a little noisy due to cheap plastic, but ok, although no curtain at end so fashion your own! Hot showers, but limited space to put clothes. Kitchen well equipped, but only 1 chopping board. Good breakfast. Good place to stay

    The property is further from the main area of Antigua, but is really only a 20min walk away. Wifi was a bit patchy in the cabana area, but still worked with some drop outs here and there

    The cabanas are away from communal areas, meaning they are quiet and peaceful. The showers had great water pressure and were clean. They also let us store our luggage for a night while we did a trip to Lake Atitlan
