Yes Please! Hostel

A 10 minute walk to the central park. Close to restaurants and the cathedral of Hermano Pedro. The open space and patios in back are a big plus. There are two private rooms in addition to the dorm rooms. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful (I don’t think I met a single one who wasn’t at this hostel), soap and hot water in showers, shared kitchen. They sometimes host activities, i.e. they had a volleyball tournement between hostels

I had an unpleasant experience of losing my wallet. I was certain that it was stolen from my bag as I had the same bad experience of being robbed earlier in this travel. I was angry that there were no lockers in the room. I called the hostel management and also the police to investigate via security cameras. Police actually never came. The manager came. First he was a bit on the defensive side but after I have openly communicated how important it was for me to have their full support and empathy for my situation; he had changed more positively and provided full support. We watched the cameras together, could not find anything. He has offered me free stay until I sort myself out. After several hours, I had a feeling that I should unload all my backpack once again and check every single corner. And I was shocked to find my wallet in my big backpack. I was quite ashamed and happy at the same time. I immediately informed the manager with my deepest apologies. And he was not angry nor reactive; on the contrary he was happy and relieved. In the overall I was happy with the hostal management about how they managed the whole situation. And the manager promised that they would install lockers.

Very vibrant and well decorated. Has a large back garden with a pool and bar. Locals can buy a day pass to come use the bar and pool as well so it feels like a nice social place to meet other backpackers and locals. The private room is large and comfortable. I was able to arrange the acatenango hike through the hostel. It's a nice short walk into town and is surrounded by amazing bars and cafes but is just far enough from the main square that it's peaceful. Would definitely stay here again. You can actually see Acatenango and Fuego from the backyard. You can even see Fuego erupting. ALSO this was the first hot shower I had had in weeks. I was extremely grateful.

Honestly the greatest hostel I've stayed in. It felt like a hotel! I arrived in the early morning (with the night bus) and lovely Fatima was super welcoming. She lat me stay by the pool and later on there were some DJs playing, so it even became better 🤍 when I finally left the pool to check in, I saw the bed in the dorms is like a small private space and spacious ensuite bathroom, which made it very convenient. The staff was mega friendly and professional, and didn't hesitate to help me with random stuff (menthol cream, drying services to my bikini that refused to dry before the volcano hike, instructions and luggage storage), everything in a great mood and a big smile. Highly recommend 🌈
