“I had a terrible experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2009

Good:
- Really close to the airport
- Free shuttles to the airport
- Computer and internet access (even though they say that your first 20min is free)
- Free Breakfast (which I didn't actually have because I left at 4am for my flight)
- Cable TV with lots of channels

BAD:
- Stoner receptionist
- 22% tax (10% hospitality and 12% something else)
- Bathrooms only superficially look clean (there were empty shampoo packages, dust, and random debris here and there)
- BED BUGS! I am positive that they don't wash their sheets or clean the place that often. My boyfriend and I both got bites and I developed a rash on my legs and arms around these bites.

This place could be a great hostel. Its such a shame that it was so terrible. I really don't recommend you stay here. I travel a lot and always stay at hostels but this is the worst experience I've had at one. Even if I didn't get bug bites I would still say that this is one of the worst hostels I have been at.

“Great Stay at Hostal Los Volcanes”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2008

I stayed in Dec 08 for a week. Had a room with private bathroom. Room was clean, had daily maid service, breakfast was included, and had cable TV. Shower had luke warm water at best, but it was tolerable especially with the cool weather in Dec. Limited parking inside the property. Must supply own shampoo and soap bars.

Staff was extremely courteous, attentive, and helpful. Hotel is literally a minute by car to the airport. Free shuttle service to and from the hotel. Amazingly, jet plane noise was not that bad. There is a small mini market and restaurant within 200 feet of the hotel. Very security-oriented establishment-must be buzzed in from the street side.

I would definitely return here without hesitation. It is very cost-effective, excellent staff, extremely convenient to the airport, and is only 10 minutes away by car to the main area called Zona Viva. Definitely need a car or taxi to get around from the hotel to downtown Guatemala or to a supermarket, etc.

  • Liked — Its value, proximity to airport, and courteous staff
  • Disliked — Not too many eateries or other establishments within walking distance

“Beware of Huge Bugs-Hostal Los Volcanes”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2005
4
people found this review helpful

I booked their "deluxe" single in late April, 2005. I was met at the airport as promised but when I looked around the room after check in found several huge "water bugs" in my room and even more in the shower. I called the only person I could find who was able to kill most of them. Needless to say I did not sleep well. It was too late at night to try to leave and find a taxi, especially since I was in a quiet neighborhood and didn't know where the main roads were located. Instead of the supposed to be included breakfast I was whisked off to the bus station. I will obviously not stay there again.
