I went during low season and thankfully the room I was in had other travelers near my age that were also planning to do the volcano hike the same day. The vibe was chill and not many people around. The staff were nice and were there when I had a question or request.

The hostel is in a great location and it's very cute. The people who work there are nice and helpful. It's very nice they have someone there 24/7. I got a single room with private bathroom and my room was right next to the stairway. I was lucky because I had a meshed window in addition to the two small windows on the door, but the room still gets very stuffy because of lack of airflow. There is a fan but even at low it's very strong and blows directly at the bed, it would be hard to sleep like that. I couldn't keep the windows open at night because of sound and also didn't want to open the windows on the doors because of mosquitos. There is no window to the bathroom so when you take a shower all the steam just flows into the room and stays there so the room is a bit musty. The bathroom is moldy probably because of that, so it wasn't the most comfortable stay. You can also hear everything happening as clear as day, people talking, your neighbor hacking and spitting. I'm not sure there's much they can do about it since it is an old place. The value is a little off though. I moved to another hotel now that actually costs less than this room and it's 3 times the size, with high ceilings, quiet, and good airflow, so there are some better options out there.

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!
