Hotel Amigos

Really wouldn’t recommend the dorms if you want to get any sleep. They’re the most basic, most outdated rooms I’ve seen in central. They face straight onto a super noisy street that has both Americans having their first ever drink screaming at 1am and trucks blasting music at 6am. The view from the balcony was amazing though and as it’s so central, is really easy to get to loads of shops, bars and restaurants.

Love this hostel, has everything you need. The location is perfect, right in the heart of everything. You can book shuttles and activities all through reception. Staff are super helpful.

This is by far the worst hostel I have stayed at in Guatemala. The staff are outright hostile to people staying in dorms and to non-Israeli (because this is mainly a hotel run by Israelis). If you ask for anything in particular, they'll ask you to leave, even if it's in the middle of the night. The showers are a hole in a wall with little water pressure. They give you earplugs when you check in because the property is on a busy street. But no earplugs can tone out the amount of noise.
