So close to everything, they clean and tidy all day, secure, rooms are very clean but must say quite tiny - the rooftop kitchen and dining space make up for this such a lovely space, looked after our bags while went up the volcano.

Be careful when you book through Expedia. Expedia charge you for a room for 2 people and at the hostal you receive a hospital bed for one person for the price of $45.98. Expedia pay for this bed $13 to the owner of the Hostel and take the rest apparently for service (booking online). People from Expedia lie to no end and never accept that they overcharge you. My experience with Expedia was the worse I ever had.

Management and staff in this hostal are not honest. For 3 single reservations of $13 each, we received a bill of $105.00 Expedia and the staff at this hostal refused to refund the money overcharged to our credit card.

Rickety noisy fan
The couple who owned/worked at the hostal was amazing. They helped us book all the shuttles and excursions and let me use their phone for local calls. You could buy a cheap beer and sit up on the veranda to drink but only until 9pm. The fan in our room was really rickety and kept us up all night. The bathroom was a tight squeeze and the room was really basic without windows. Overall it was ok and what you would expect for the money.

Great Value
We really thought Hostal Antigua was a great budget option! We have no complaints, and we had hot water, a comfy bed, and there is a kitchen to use if you want. The staff are lovely, and friendly!

Akzeptable Budget-Unterkunft in Top Lage
Das Hostel liegt nur 2 Blocks von der wunderschönen Plaza Antiguas entfernt. Alle anderen Sehenswürdigkeiten sind ebenfalls zu Fuss erreichbar. Erwähnenswert ist der schöne, wenn auch kleine Innenhof und die Dachterrasse von welcher man einen guten Blick auf die Vulkane hat. Das Zimmer ist zweckmäßig und relativ klein. Die Sauberkeit entspricht lateinamerikanischem Durchschnitt. Da das innenliegende Bad durch das Zimmer entlüftet wird sind in beiden Räumen Schimmelflecken zu sehen. Warmwasser vorhanden, allerdings nur eine Temperatur. Alles weitere war o.k. Die Betreiber sind sehr bemüht und hilfsbereit. Touren / Transfers können über das Hostel gebucht werden. Es gibt einen Zusammenschluss von Hotels, so dass man am Schluss sowieso meist beim gleichen Anbieter landet… Direkt nebenan befindet sich eine Bäckerei. Ein Supermarkt ist 3 Blocks entfernt. Antigua ist ein Muss auf jeder Guatemala-Reise, wer keinen großen Luxus braucht findet hier eine akzeptable Budget-Unterkunft.

Tranquilo y cerca de todo.
El hostal está a menos de 10 minutos del Parque y el Arco, es pequeño con una bonita terraza con vista al Volcán de Agua. Mi único comentario es que cierran el acceso a la terraza y cocina a las 9pm lo que limita el acceso a la comida guardada en la refrigeradora y cenar tarde, pero pedimos en recepción que nos abrieran el candado en la madrugada pues teníamos un tour y no hubo problema; solo que esa no sería la idea. Por todo lo demás, la atención y el aseo estuvo súper bien.
