Volko Party Hostel

Great company

Bathrooms were awful even at the price. Basics like a soap dish In shower. Bit uncomfortable for female sharing with males with no privacy

I originally wanted to stay 1 night but ended up staying 8 Customer service Is amazing,knowledgeable and kind. Rooms are pretty comfortable, they had lockers (I travel with some paranoia as I go with my laptop)

Don't schedule trips to Pacaya volcano The company they have partnership with Is garbage. Tour guides won't explain anything about the volcano but instead Will keep pushing you to rent an overpriced horse ride or buy hiking stick. Besides of this, all's good

i liked that there was a kitchen, and that the location was very close to the town center. the staff was incredible and so kind, and the place was quite clean. looks cute and has a great communal terrace/garden space to take breakfast in!

communal showers were tepid at best, although the 4-bed dorm room private showers did run hot. the trade-off was that the 4 bed dorm rooms smelled a bit musty because the bathroom didn’t have a window. sometimes a bit rowdy at night but “party” is in the name so it’s to be expected

beds were huge and comfy in the large shared dorms. this is my third review for the same trip because i kept extending my stay because I ended up getting sick due to lack of sleep and overexertion, and the staff was more than willing to just let me extend. it was very easy and chill- it’s actually less expensive to do it over booking but i just did it in person because it was marginally easier. the upstairs restaurant is not owned by the hostel but you can go up there and have a coffee and use the space; it’s very cute and you can see sunset on acatenango and fuego.

communal showers tepid at best; also the reason why i got sick was because I couldn’t sleep because I was next to the bar (non-hostel-owned but sharing the same rent space) and the walls were paper thin and i could hear people loudly partying until 1 am. but i guess it still wasn’t enough to make me switch hostels

location was great; they were super friendly at the front desk and checkin was fast. the beds are huge in the large 9 bed shared dormitories- you either get bunk beds, or larger mattress in the center of the room. i got lucky and got a larger mattress with no bunk. very lovely space and looks cute! clean

my shared dorm was right next to the bar that they share space with (not owned by the hostel) and people came in there and partied super loudly until 1 and it was so unbelievably loud that i couldn’t sleep and then got sick as a result. I know that “party” is in the name but it’s a very lowkey hostel and was told that it’s not a crazy party hostel at all. and it isn’t- it’s just the bar next door is. if you value peace and quiet ask for a dorm that is not directly next to the bar.

Good and central location. Nice and helpfull staff, tours, shuttles. Cozy hangout ares.

Very basic hostel but nothing bad to add.
