Si the place is very clean but it’s far from glamorous Very well located but my only issue was the paper thin walls Someone’s phone was ringing in their room and it woken me up as it felt it was in my room So if you are young or on a budget . I would recommend it If comfort and luxury is important then skip it

Comfortable hostel

The bedroom was a good size, clean, geographically good location and had friendly staff. Unfortunately the hostel was not far from a bar that was pumping music till late. However the room had a new tv thay could connect to Netflix, youtube etc

The Guatemalan decor and ambience was nice. Location was good but the access was poor. No on-site parking, as the hotel is down a narrow alley. Had to pay extra for parking. Also, even though they accepted credit cards, they wanted a 7% surcharge! Nowhere else in Guatemala have I experienced this.
