Base Camp Hostel Antigua Reviews

Loved the chill vibe at Base Camp Hostel. The staff was super friendly and helpful with suggestions for restaurants, activities and shuttles. The breakfast was delicious and served by the sweet woman who keeps the place clean and comfortable. Great location - close to Central Park and many other attractions.

The orivate rooms was cosy, but the dorm had really really bad beds. The lady who made the breakfast was super nice and you felt welcome.

This hostel was clean, cozy and quiet. Breakfast and kitchen facilities were provided, as well as lots of common space. There are only a couple of rooms so it didn't feel crowded or over-full. The only problem was that a fellow guest had to let us in as there was no staff present. Luckily the other guest found us a key that another guest had left. Apparently the receptionist was on vacation and had locked the phones away so we couldn't even call the managers. Overall though, a nice place!

I found Base Camp Antigua to be a great place to stay. It´s kept exceptionally clean and the woman who does the cleaning can also cook a mean breakfast. Although not directly in the center of the city it is less than a five minute walk to the main square. I´d highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and relatively low key place to stay while in Antigua.

The three story bunk beds are a little difficult to navigate, but were very comfortable. The Guatemalan lady who cooked us breakfast was absolutely lovely, with a bit of early morning Spanish lessons thrown in for good measure. A nice hostel.

Great place! The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. The décor is adventure/Tibetan/ski-lodge... in Guatemala. There are some nice common seating areas, and the wi-fi is decent. You are bound to come across other interesting travelers, especially if you stay in the 6-person dorm room. And there is a travel agency (for booking shuttles to Guatemala City, Lago de Atitlán, etc.) right next door.

Nice, small hostel. Good crowd of people, although the non-paying guests were a concern. Despite the small number of beds, could get very noisy as there is so much wood and no soft furnishings. Twin bed room had a window onto lounge but no glass, so also very noisy. Bathroom and shower cubicle definitely in need of a good clean. Kitchen is great, and liked the large amount of living space.

Great place, if I return to Antigua, it will be for sure my home!

I arrived at Hostel Base camp with a reserve, but the staff told me they were wrong and had no place: and had no alternative. It 'been a great disservice, but luckily I found another place in a much nicer hotels and cheap.

Unfortunatly, my room had been double booked - apparantly there are 2 hostel sites who do not necessarily communicate. I was able to have a dorm bed, which was OK (I booked a single room), but I should have been advised there was a double booking before I got there Staff lovely

This was the second time this year I spent time at Basecamp, Antigua and I think it is a fantastic hostel. Its got a big and well equiped kitchen and also a spacious common area good for meeting people, both important components for any hostel. The hostel also offers kickass guided tours up the surrounding volcanoes, not to be missed if your into a little more action on your vaccation. / Cheers!

The location was in a safe and in a central location of town. Very fun and helpful staff.

The staff Gabriel is pretty friendly, but I think the management got a problem. When we arrived the hostel, there's no staff in the hostel. We called number of the hostel from HostelWorld, but it's not answered. Thank God that there're 2 guests inside and they opened the door. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do in the raining night.
