Hostel Casa Jacaranda Reviews

yeah, this was a good place, very friendly and helpful staff. Location is good too. maybe a 5 minutes walk from the cathedral. Lots of places to eat, drink or to just visit close by. Breakfast was also good. 3 choices, and if you're super nice to the cook, she'll perhaps give you extra helpings :-)

Relaxing hostel, friendly staff. I had many long discussions with Manuel late at night about life for the indigenous people. The staff cook you a beautiful breakfast as early as 7am if you have morning plans. You can relax in the hammocks in a serene garden or watch movies in the TV room. They will book shuttles and tours for you even late in the evening. I'll come back.

Friendly staff, great breakfasts and extremely clean. Also, the garden is really nice!

Breakfasts are indeed excellent here with three filling options - definitely the highlight of my stay. There is also a pleasant outdoor area. The lowlight was the staff talking in loud voices in the kitchen starting at 6.30am - sleeping in was not possible!

Great place to stay in Antigua - easy to find on the north end of the city center. Very accommodating staff. Breakfast was excellent, bathrooms were nice and clean. Good value for the money, would definitely recommend.

Nice relaxed atmosphere. Stayed twice & this is not a party hostel which was a relief. Breakfast is excellent with 3 different choices, huge portions which set you up for the day. Ladies in the kitchen are lovely & helpful. There's always someone pottering about fixing something, gardening (the garden is a lovely bonus to relax in) & cleaning. Extra keen on security to the point door is locked all day. I felt like a naughty schoolgirl creeping in a 10pm after dinner, ringing the bell get in.

Clean with friendly staff. Not a very social place, but the garden is a great place to relax and time out for awhile. We missed breakfast everyday because we were up too early hiking but it looked great.

Le personnel est gentil, l\'endroit est bien situé. Manque un peu de propreté dans les chambres et la salle de bain.

We had a wonderful stay at Antigua. We can recommend this place.

Great week at a beautiful hostel. But be prepared to wake up every morning at 4 AM to the sound of a Rooster!

This was my second stay in Antigua. We stayed in a private room, which was back in the LOVELY courtyard. The breakfast that is included in your stay is PHENOMENAL! I would recommend it to a friend, definitely.

Hostel Jacaranda is a great place. From the outside you would never guess, how lovely it is inside. This is so true for most places in Antigua. What I enjoyed most was the welcoming feeling we get at this hostel. The owners Anna Maria and Rafael are so nice and helpful. Their staff is fabulous, especially Manuel who gives off such a beautiful energy. I was impressed with the fact that Manuel knew almost everyone's name. Talk about about feeling at home in this hostel.

Super caring, nice and helpful staff, good free breakfast. There's a garden; the walls are painted cheerfully. However, feels like a rather quiet hostel, not like a very social place as far as meeting other travelers is concerned. Another downside is that there are no lockers.

The included breakfast was the best I have had in all my travels!

Excellent staff while being there! Very respectful and polite, i´ll definetly go back soon!

What a nice place. And the free breakfast was delicious! Thanks to the staff for being so friendly and helpful. I'll defintely be back and will recommend this one to all my friends.

it's very secure. staff keeps door locked ALL day, no exceptions. they will come and open door for you. hot water, free breakfast, wi-fi, clean toilets. 3 blocks from market, 3 blocks from the famous arch with all the touristy stuff. great place! no on-site restaurant, but a good restaurant across the street. I'd def stay here again.

The staff was very helpfull in arranging trips and advising transport to our next stop.

Amazing breakfast! Helpful and friendly people and the garden is a real asset. Would definitely go back

People were great there. Only complaint is that it´s 42 steps (I counted the other night) to the bathroom. A bit inconvenient in the middle of the night. Great breakfasts, wonderful staff.
