Great place to stay! Staff was very helpful, and the bar was a cool spot with great views. It was so much cleaner than other hostels I’ve stayed at and the location was prime.

What a little hidden gem. My room felt like a treehouse, with squirrels and birds right outside in the giant avocado tree. The place feels new, and the value for money is excellent. Waking up surrounded by nature was a beautiful experience for me.

All hostels in Panajachel

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

It's probably one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Beds are comfy with full curtains and lockers to store your bags in before checkin or after checkout. And possibly the best staff that honestly make you feel welcome from the very moment you enter.

Recommend this hostel without any hesitation. It's social, clean, owners are super friendly and helpful, the beds are confortable and have curtains. There are chillout areas on the balcony and a super nice rooftop terrace. The location is super central and you have plenty of shopping and eating facilities for any budget close.
