the biggest advantage of this place is how quiet it is at night. no clubs or bars nearby. another plus is the shared kitchen where guests can store and prepare their own meals.

negatives were the lukewarm showers and minimal breakfasts (fruit, toast and jam). if you want to be closer to the center, enjoy full breakfasts and hot showers, you should stay at El Hostal. if you want peace and quiet and don't mind walking 10 minutes to the center and to all restaurants/bars, you should stay at casa bellona.

i'm also concerned that the owner doesn't have enough help, her only employee seems to be a cleaning woman who only cleans the bathrooms once a day (that i was aware of).

This is a small nice and charming place in Antigua.
Very quiet. The owner Danielle is sweet and friendly. The place is a bit far from the centre about 10 minutes walk, but that is a blessing as it gets really loud on weekends in Antigua in the center. The breakfast is simple and good. and the rooms are comfortable and the place is quite cheap :)

Very happy to have found this hostel, and the welcome there will make me return there again. A great place if you want somewhere quiet but within walking distance of the very centre of town, VERY helpful and friendly owners, a nice courtyard area with hammocks to relax in and overall, a very friendly place to stay.

The owners give the hostel such a personal touch that it is like staying with family and they are great with their advice. DVD collection, internet and a light breakfast as well, and also numerous cups of coffee. A great place to stay if you are looking for somewhere small, quiet and friendly.

Great place to stay in beautiful Antiqua Guatemala! Quiet and relaxed atmosphere. The owners are very helpfull made me feel at home...
