Passionate travellers ourselves, we make sure that you are really comfortable. We give you space, privacy and fresh air in all our dorm rooms and private rooms. In our shared bathrooms you can expect real, hot showers and plenty of sinks, too. You do good and support our local community simply by sleeping! And if that is not enough for you, you can get involved, roll up your sleeves and connect directly with our community.

Filtered water, coffee and tea is available for you all day. You can enjoy the best view of all 3 volcanos and all over Antigua from the Roof top Garden. There are several common areas for you to relax, hang out, play and connect with fellow travelers. And if you have to do some work, we have desks with comfortable office chairs for you as well.

The Purpose Hostel also serves as training facility and community skill center, connecting people to learn and grow together. All team Purpose is learning sign language to also include our deaf community members and guests.

Of the four hostels I stayed at in Antigua, this was by far my favorite. Cozy common areas and a nice rooftop space. Comfy beds, large lockers for bags/ personal items, a small kitchen & fridge for food. Staff was all so friendly & helpful! I will be back and am looking forward to staying here again

Great staff, view from terrace, and everything else was good! If I had to give any feedback: the shower situation was okay as it was hard to place my clothes with the hooks outside the curtain and bathroom being exposed
