This is by far the nicest hostel I stayed at in a tour of Guatemala (including Free Cervesa) in terms of cleanliness, excellent management by staff, great breakfast, and good vibes. Not too social, but a very relaxed place.

Really nice hostel in a good location. Private dorms and very good breakfast. Not too much of a social scene
