Although I’d read conflicting commentaries about this hostel, I still decided to go to there. I have
to say that I liked it from the start, and for the week I spent there, everything was really good:
cleanliness of the room, friendliness at the reception, the breakfast. Only the laundry service was
“hard” to find, but there are enough ‘lavanderias’ in La Antigua anyway. For the price they
charged me, it was fantastic!

At only Q50 a night for a private room, this seemed like quite a good deal. The room was nice enough, but certainly basic. And there was free wifi. But that's about it. There is only a single bathroom to service the entire hostel, so using it was certainly never a pleasant experience. Our room had a window metres from the main area, so we were kept awake constantly. I also highly suspect they didnt change the bedsheets from the previous occupants.

After we realised that there were nearby hostels for the same price, with significantly better services, we quickly moved. I definitely suggest browsing around first! (And always try the beds first)

This was the only hotel I stayed at that wasn't in a guide book. A street hustler convinced my Israeli friend that we should take a look. Everything started out fine- rooms were good enough for the price. However, when I left for lunch I went to wash my hands and discovered there was no water in the downstairs back bathroom. I informed the manager, who was very skeptical for some reason. That evening, I tried it again, but there was still no water. The shower worked, so my friend went to take a shower. When he got out, he rested his hand on the sink and the whole thing fell off the wall and almost smashed his foot. As if this wasn't bad enough, later that night the hotel staff demanded we help pay for the repair. My friend asked to speak to the owner. Supposedly she drove by and told the front desk girl she changed her mind and we would not have to pay. However, the other guy working the desk who is also their handyman continued to demand we pay. At one point he even threatened to call the police, to which we replied that we WANTED him to call the police. He refused, of course. After much arguing, we left and the hotel refused to refund the money we had paid for the rooms.
