I think the title says it all. I was supposed to stay 4 nights but left on the 2nd. I have been working in the tourism industry for more than 10 years and have been a backpacker for nearly 20, this hostel really reminds me of what backpacker were like 20 years ago.

The last time that I was in Antigua Guatemala I have the luck to stay a few days in this hostal, and I have to say that the experience was unforgattable. Great view of the city and amazing bartenders. If you are looking for a great time thi is the spot. Hope I see you soon again.

This place is great. Awesome view on the terrace and great staff that get you whatever you need anytime. The place is in a good part of town that's close to everything. Rooms are clean and inexpensive. Hot showers and 2 for 1 drinks keep me coming back everytime I'm in Antigua.
