Barbara's Boutique Hostel

I had a great stay here and honestly loved everything about it. The staff was incredibly friendly and always attentive to anything I needed. The rooms were very comfortable; I stayed in the female dorm and found it clean, pleasant, and well maintained. The facilities were very organized, and the atmosphere was peaceful and perfect for resting. The breakfast was delicious, and the location is very central, making it easy to get around. What impressed me the most was the bathroom—it was exceptionally spacious, spotless, and the water pressure and temperature were excellent. Everything felt very clean and well cared for. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

My favorite Hostel in Guatemala! There are so many things that made my stay so enjoyable: The incredibly well equipped kitchen, the roof terrace with Yoga mats, comfortable beds with lights, fans and outlets, the cleanliness and of course the friendly and helpful staff. Barbaras Boutique truly was the perfect hostel for me!

Sehr sauber. Schön eingerichtet. Ruhig. Gut gelegen.

Ich empfand das Personal überhaupt nicht herzlich (bis auf eine Ausnahme). Da kann alles super schön sein, aber wenn Herzlichkeit fehlt und man den Eindruck kriegt, dass der Job einen anscheisst, dann kann ich dieses Hostel so nicht weiterempfehlen. Zudem hat die Rezeption null Informationen betr. irgendwelchen Ausflugszielen oder sonst was. Ich bin jetzt in einem anderen Hostel in Antigua Guatemala und da ist das Personal aufgestellt, es gibt Infos über Shuttelbusse, Ausflügsziele etc. Und dann noch günstiger, und genau gleich sauber.

Amazing design, quality beds, really nice breakfast and super helpful reception staff.

Everything was perfect. I loved this hostel so much that I’ll be coming back before leaving Guatemala. It feels like a cozy home and it’s carefully designed down to every detail: water and coffee are available all day, the kitchen is very well equipped, and the bathrooms are stocked with lotions and creams. The staff was extremely kind and always ready to help with anything. It may seem like a small thing, but every time they saw me they greeted me by name, which I really appreciated.

The only suggestion I would make is to also provide free towels

This was my second stay at Barb’s. First time was in a private room, but this time it was in a dorm, as it was just one night before catching a bus. The dorms are very comfortable with really big lockers. The share bathrooms are clean. The chill out areas are fabulous with a book swap library. I would definitely recommend both the dorm or the private, depending on your budget. Barb’s is a little more expensive than most hostels in Antigua, but well worth the money

Nice comfortable quiet and really nice facilities

Lack of mosquito nets in front of the window

Very clean hostel and friendly staff. Enjoyed my stay even tho I was out most of the time. Very relaxing ambiance felt like home away from home. Highly recommend!
