Guest Reviews

• Alejandro8484 (7/5): -
• Elke (8/5): Little convenient gem right by the airport, loved the breakfast! - Great location right next to the airport, beautiful sunny terrace surrounded by plants, lovely staff and good breakfast in the morning - the oat pudding was so nice! The bathroom and room didn't have much equipment and felt very rustic but that made sense given the price.

• John (10/5): -
• John (10/5): - Clean, quiet and safe. Free shuttle to airport. Bed on the firmer side.
• Jonathan (8/5): -
• Abhishaik (7/5): - Great location, very clean, good breakfast Not value for money, room was really small with 3 beds crammed in and 1 wall fan, bathrooms were really small
• Alejandro (9/5): - La limpieza de la habitación Lo reducido del sanitario
• Linda (7/5): - very close to airport and free shuttle provided! excellent staff on reception small bathrooms with a weird set up
• Iñigo (9/5): -
• Michel (9/5): Séjour agréable malgré la sonorité du bâtiment. Bonne base pour terminer son séjour. Par contre pour découvrir Ciudad Gu - L’emplacement par rapport à l’aéroport. Propreté du lieu. La sonorité du lieux, peu d’isolation phonique. L’impression de déranger au moment du Check In ainsi que pour le petit déjeuner.
• Karen (8/5): Un bon endroit pour le transit - Le personnel, l emplacement, la décoration, les jeux, les oreillers Nous n avons pas trop aimé le petit déjeuner
• Galbis (6/5): Normal - Ubicación al aeropuerto y el servicio incluido de transporte al aeropuerto. Deben limpiar y fumigar bien las habitaciones.
• Madison (7/5): - This hostal had a good location. The hostal smelled steongly of cigarettes with many people smoking in the main areas. It was also strange that you could not bring bags into the reception area.
• Steve (9/5): -
• Sandy (10/5): -
• Ann (6/5): When looking for a modest-priced stay without my small dog-they do not take dogs-I would stay again. - The private room was very comfortable. The dormitory room, which I had to be moved to on the second day as my room was previously booked, had hard noisy mattresses but again was adequate. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The location is good. The entire place is clean and pleasant. There was a taco stand down the street where one can eat dinner. Transport to Airport at 2 p.m. was not free as advertised. Should be truthful and say it is 35 Q, not that that is exorbitant, just should be clear that there is a cost. Breakfast was mediocre but adequate. The second floor taps screamed after being turned off for some time.
• Veralisa (5/5): -
• Lina Andrea (8/5): Buen lugar - Las instalaciones son muy buenas y la ubicación es muy estratégica para estar cerca al aeropuerto.
• Flora (9/5): - Hostal très pratique car situé à 3 minutes de l'aéroport en voiture. Très pratique si on souhaite reprendre un vol pour Flores le lendemain matin. Service de navette. La navette à 4h du matin pour l'aéroport était gratuite ! Personnel sympa, salle de bain commune très propre
• Quentin (9/5): -
• Emelie (8/5): -
• Sunnywin2 (8/5): -
• Hannah (8/5): Great shuttle service and secure building - Great shuttle service to the airport at 4am! We had a cockroach in our room when we woke up
• Yelena (8/5): Well priced option near the airport - Close to the airport (we walked). Late check out. Relatively quiet..
• Mathilde (8/5): - proche de l’aéroport et hostel très propre. au top le bruit. une famille a hurlé pendant 2heures comme si ils étaient seuls dans l’hostel. j’avais mon réveil à 6h du matin et comment dire que j’ai très peu dormi. ce n’est pas de la faute de l’hôte mais j’aurai aimé que se problème soit réglé plus raapidement…
• Luc (9/5): -
• Antoine (8/5): - Pouvoir checkin tard
• Marco (10/5): -
• Nehru (8/5): Excellent value for money - Breakfast and service was great. I recommend staying at Guatefriends if youre on a budget. There was no fans or A/C in my room and it was a little too close to the entrance.
• Urrea (10/5): -
• Maria Elena (7/5): -
• rainer (7/5): -
• Nubila (7/5): De paso - Cerca del aeropuerto. El desayuno es rico. La información del shuttle gratuito al aeropuertos no fue del todo clara. La habitación no tenía luz natural. El café fue muy malo.
• Laura Daniela (8/5): -
• Suhasini (9/5): Excellent - Very close to the airport. Breakfast was great. Bathroom door did was in part repair. Hopefully it is has been repaired.
• Cedar (10/5): - Very convenient location near the airport. Nice vibe, good clean rooms, clean bathroom. Excellent breakfast and great space to hang out on the terrace. Host wasn't that welcoming at first but everything was then fine.
• Mariella (7/5): - Nicht weit vom Flughafen; Gepäckaufbewahrung; Flughafentransfer wenn gewünscht; für eine Nacht ok Man fühlte sich ein bisschen wie im Gefängnis: Man kam beispielsweise nicht aus dem Hostel raus und hinein, ohne an der Rezeption zu fragen, ob sie einem die Tür öffnen könnten (dient natürlich der Sicherheit im Hostel, ist aber etwas ungünstig wenn niemand da ist und man 3h morgens zum Flughafen fahren muss!!!) Allgemein ist die Umgebung etwas gruselig und trotz der Sicherheitsvorkehrungen im Hostel habe ich mich nicht sicher gefühlt - ich war froh, dass ich nur eine Nacht bleiben musste
• Carol Viviana (9/5): Estratégico- Excelente - La cercanía al Aeropuerto, es un hospedaje estratégico cuando tu vuelo es al dia siguiente, cuentan con transporte gratis hacia el aeropuerto, y en nuestro caso con Desayuno Incluido muy delicioso
• Alena (7/5): It was good. - Proximity to the airport. It was clean. Breakfast was simple but tasty. Pick up from the airport not included and took for ever, should have called uber, would have been cheaper. No help with dragging a heavy suitcase to the third floor. No communication at breakfast time, felt awkward. It was pricey for what you get.
• Christophe (8/5): Proche aéroport - Hostal très proche de l'aéroport, 10 mn à pied, safe, je suis arrivé vers 22h15. J'avais réservé une chambre individuelle histoire de pouvoir être plus tranquille. Toilettes et douche séparées, mais disponible Très simple mais efficace. Bruyant du à la proximité de l'aéroport, dès 04/05h00 ça réveille, mais je m'y attendais même si ça surprend.
• Patrícia (9/5): - Têm serviço de transporte até certa hora sem qualquer custo e um pequeno almoço incluído. É pertinho do aeroporto por isso perfeito para ficar uma noite. O pessoal foi sempre super simpático!
• Sagi (8/5): -
• Lillian (9/5): -
• Florence (7/5): -
• Frank Alexander (7/5): Estuvo bien pero los valores incrementaron por supuestos taxes y su cambio de moneda fue más alto. Mal porque nada conco - Es cerca del aeropuerto y facilidad de traslados Hicieron el cambio de dólar más alto por lo que el valor del hospedaje subió considerablemente, cobraron unos supuestos taxes.
• Eduardo (9/5): Walkable to the airport. Large spacious room with great shower. - The location is unbeatable. The private room with a shared shower was big, all good stuff :)
• Lilie (6/5): 1 nuit suffise largement juste pour prendre son vol ou arriver tard. - La proximité avec l’aéroport et le ramassage gratuit pour vous y emmener si vous êtes chargés . Les autres touristes qui ne respectent pas le silence entre 22h et 07h alors qu’il n’y a aucune insonorisation
• freytag (9/5): - Ganz besonders die Nähe zum Flughafen, wenn man ankommt oder wegfliegt. Das Personal war nett und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück war ganz OK. Das Zimmer war klein, aber sauber und sehr zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Auch das Licht war gut. Bad und Toilette sauber -
• Claudia (10/5): - Limpieza comodidad ubicación No te dejan comer en la habitación
• Alejandra (9/5): - Amabilidad y respuestas oportunas
• Nahuel (10/5): Recomiendo - Muy lindo hostel y cómodo. El personal súper amable y predispuesto Lo único malo es que cierran la puerta de salida de 00:00 a 7:00, te dan un número de teléfono para que llames y te abren al puerta. Estaría bueno tener una forma autónoma de poder salir.
• Belén (9/5): -
• omer (10/5): -
• saghir (7/5): - Close to the airport Free transfer to the airport A little loud
• Katerina (10/5): - Everything was perfect, morning shuttle for free was amazing, the staff was so nice, friendly and helpful 😉
• Matous (10/5): - It was all great, amazing service. They helped us purchase painkillers when we needed them
• Kimberley (10/5): Excellent location to the airport - Lovely room with comfortable mattress and quality bedding . Walking distance from airport- fast 5G WiFi for zoom calls. Nothing.
• Brackett (10/5): -
• ChloeD98 (7/5): - Près de l'aéroport, navette inclus (selon certaines heures)
• Elise (9/5): - La réceptionniste est adorable, l'emplacement près de l'aéroport est très pratique, les navettes gratuites proposées aussi, ils offrent du shampoing et gel douche, je recommande vivement Un espace cuisine pour manger gratuit et faire un sandwich pourrait être apprécié, la décoration pourrait être améliorée mais sinon tout est parfait selon moi
• Amisadai (9/5): - Muy buena ubicación
• Yolanda (8/5): Cerca del aeropuerto y servicio en el hotel - Cerca del aeropuerto En realidad precio calidad está compensado
• Samuel (4/5): - Close to the airport and clean
• Cecilia (8/5): Limpio, tranquilo para una noche, buen alojamiento por el precio y ubicación. - El hostal se ubica en muy cerca al aeropuerto, la zona parece tranquila, aunque no caminamos alrededor porque llegamos por la noche un poco tarde y salimos temprano en la mañana al aeropuerto. Reservamos una habitación doble con baño privado, todo ok, muy limpio, las camas estuvieron bien para un alojamiento de este tipo. El desayuno está incluido, huevos, pan, mantequilla, café, sencillo pero puede ayudar con el hambre por unas horas. Te llevan gratis al aeropuerto, la movilidad sale cada hora, eso me pareció muy útil. Pero también puedes caminar al aeropuerto, está muy cerca. En realidad todo estuvo bien con nosotras, solo pasamos una noche.
• Lara (6/5): - -Nähe zum Flughafen -sauberes Zimmer -gratis Shuttle -Personal war unfreundlich -Zimmer hatte kein Fenster
• Miriam (7/5): Modest hostel, simple and served the purpose for one night in between travels. - Had a dorm room to myself which was very convenient. They also waited for me to arrive as I came around midnight , which was great. Property was clean, all very simple. They send a nice message before trip begins which was great to get oriented for arrival. I thought it was a bit overpriced considering how simple it was. But ended up being nice to have room by myself.
• Kenneth (9/5): - Excellent choice if you want to stay close to the airport for an early flight. Great free shuttle service to the airport.
• Katherine (10/5): -
• María Verónica (8/5): -
• Kimberley (10/5): Friendly, great value for money - This is a very nice place to stay, walkable in 10 minutes to the airport or they offer a shuttle. Very comfortable bed with quality bedding. Traditional GUATAMALA breakfast included. Strong 5G WiFi. Also stored my luggage for 2 dollars per day whilst I went to Flores. Very nice experience. Walls are thin but this is standard in central/ South America
• Laura (10/5): - Everything was perfect. Spacious rooms, warm showers, great location so you can from to or from the airport in no time. Very friendly staff and delicious breakfast. I wod stay again anytime! All good.
• Didier (9/5): -
• Leslie (7/5): Great for a quick stay by the airport. - Great location especially for a quick overnight from the airport. Within walking distance. Reception was a little less than enthusiastic. We were given the wrong room initially but was sorted out quickly and no fuss.
• André Joseph Audet (8/5): -
• Carlos Andres (10/5): Super - Muy cerca al aeropuerto y te llevan gratis si tienes vuelo Que los camarotes no tuvieran cortina individusl así sería un poco más privada la estancia.
• Marin (9/5): -
• Wolf (8/5): - Hice una reserva con bano privado y no había bano privado
• Rosas Solano (1/5): - Nada el lugar muy pequeño y muy malas las instalaciones y la atención pésima la muchacha muy grosera y nada atenta terrible experiencia!
• Mohammed (10/5): - L'emplacement proche de l'aeroport et la navette proposée gratuitement à partir de 04h du matin
• Sylvie (7/5): - Très correct. Personnel très aimable et aidant Déjeuner pourrait être un peu plus savoureux et équilibré... Au lieu de pâtisseries sucré, ce pourrait être un fruit, et un peu de quelques choses dans les oeufs... pas besoin d'en avoir autant.
• Diego David (7/5): -
• Eric (7/5): -
• Christine (10/5): An excellent value stay near the airport. - Very close to airport. Bed was comfortable. Relatively quiet neighborhood for a good night’s sleep. Staff were all pleasant and friendly. Pick up from airport for 35Q was a great help. Breakfast and coffee was very good. Minor things like only one bulb in our overhead light made for a dim room. I’m sure if we said something they could easily remedy but we were only staying a night.
• Erika Sofia (10/5): - Excelente cerca del aeropuerto, muy cómodo , limpio, muy amables y con servicio de traslado al aeropuerto
• Lynn (10/5): - Really friendly and helpful stuff, All very clean and comfortable. Stayed here two times for one night for be close to the airport as I was flying in and out. The area is safe but not really nice if you want to see the city, only good for be close to the airport. The breakfast is simple but does its job and fills you up.
• jonathan (8/5): -
• Mami (8/5): Good for one night - They offer free shuttle, also walkable (10 minutes). Great price. Only one bathroom on the single room floor. I stayed there beginning of February, and inside of the room was very cold. There was only one restaurant nearby.
