Guest Reviews
- Daniel (10/5): Excellent staff! - Had a really pleasant stay here. The staff were very warm and welcoming and went out of their way to help us book onward travel. Stayed in the private room with en-suite bathroom and it was perfect for our needs. Quiet and peaceful at night, comfortable bed, nice hot shower. Ideal!
- Suzanne (10/5): - The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable and helpful. The front desk staff, Brian and Guadalupe are simply wonderful. The room was very quiet and comfortable. We are grateful for their hospitality and looking forward to returning in January 2026! ❤️
- Suzanne (10/5): - The hotel is wonderful and the front desk staff, Brian and Guadalupe, are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent and the rooftop garden was absolutely amazing place to sit and eat. Looking forward to returning in January 2026.
- melinda (10/5): - Love this place . Affordable price , amazing and delicious Bfast . My friend even suggest cooking class for Bfast !! Staff are very hospitable. Convenience , located in the center and walkable to restaurants and places to explore
- Shannon (10/5): Comfortable hotel close to all the sites - We really enjoyed our stay at yellow house. They helped us organise 2 tours during our stay and held our suitcases while we were at thee lake overnight. The breakfast was very tasty too! The rooms can get a little stuffy, but we kept the door open while we were there and the fan was great at night.
- Isabel (10/5): - The yellow house was wonderful. The staff especially Gaby were so accommodating and breakfast was amazing!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Guatemala vacations - It was wonderful 😊
- Ramon (8/5): - Es un hostel con todo lo básico necesario. Cerca de todas las atracciones coloniales y con desayuno incluído. Un staff atento y amable. El único inconveniente fue que luego de hacer check out, dejé mensaje esa misma noche y llamé al siguiente día para solicitar del servicio de limpieza de cuarto, una buena camiseta de fútbol que dejé en la esquina de la cama, pero desapareció, o sea, me indicaron como que no estaba. Estoy segurísimo que la dejé y en donde la dejé en el cuarto entre las frisas de la cama, pero nada que hacer. Tuve que comprarla de nuevo. Por lo demás...el lugar es conveniente.
- Michele (10/5): - Staff super friendly, nice view of volcano from upper patio area. The room was a bit small with the 3 beds, but it was no problem as the beds were comfortable. No parking on site, but a parking lot close by. You can walk around to the grocery stores and the Market but Central Park is a bit further. The taxis charge about $5 to take you to the park and the tuktuk drivers about half that but can only take you to within a block of the park. The free breakfast is great, eggs, fruit, beans, bread or tortillas and breakfast potatoes along with coffee or hot chocolate. Don't forget to leave a small tip for the servers! The area was quiet for the most part & the hostel is also a travel agency, so many excursions around Antigua and further can be purchased through them. We would definitely stay again!
- Jason (10/5): - We really liked the view from our door of the cathedral and the mountain. You could also sit and watch volcan Fuego erupt at night. I really miss waking up to that view. I wish that on two of the days of our stay we didn't miss breakfast, but we had schedule a tour and had to leave early on our last day.
- John (10/5): - Great place to stay! Very clean! Friendly staff helpful with travel plans. Would stay again !
- Kayla (10/5): - Really good breakfast!
- Andrea (6/5): Meh - This place was just okay for us, nothing special. The room was pretty tiny but had cute, minimal decor. Shared (cleaned) bathrooms located on the ground floor so makes it inconvient if you have to go in the middle of the night. Breakfast was the best part, staff was nice. We got discouraged when asking for a better rate as we were leaving at 5:30 a.m and wouldn't be having breakfast. They didn't negociate at all so we decided it wasn't worth it (too bad because we also ended up buying our transport tickets from somewhere else instead of here). Ended up finding a way better place for half the price so I guess it was a blessing in disguise for us.
- Julia (10/5): So clean, friendly staff, great location - We actually stayed here twice, before and after a trip to Lake Atitlan. The staff are amazing, so helpful. We booked all our shuttles with them and they had a lot of other tours offered. This place is constantly cleaned, even the bathrooms. The breakfast is huge and varied and you can eat on their roof terrace with a view of three volcanoes. The beds were comfortable and each room we stayed in had a fan and screens in the windows. The rooms on the roof seemed to be brighter and nicer compared to the first floor rooms. The bathrooms are on the first floor, but the stairs are lit at night.
- Georgina (10/5): A perfect little gem - This hostel has everything you need. The staff were the friendliest ever. Breakfast is excellent with fresh fruits, eggs, beans, pancakes, real coffee and hot chocolate. The room was small but very nicely decorated with a comfy bed and gorgeous views. They helped us with booking transfers from the airport and to Lake Atitlan. We would definitely stay here again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The food and the service it was awesome! It was really nice and clean, all the staff were so nice!
- Ronald (10/5): - We really liked the location which was very convent to explore Antigua. The staff were very personably. The had a great tour of the Alfombra's preceded by a workshop in which we worked with them to create an alfombra of our own. It was very fun and we all were made to feel like part of the family. The staff were also super helpful with booking tours and departure plans. The kitchen / cleaning staff were excellent. Our room was immaculate after we would return each day. The breakfast in the morning was super delicious.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - yellow house is a great budget hostel in antigua, with well-decorated rooms, kind staff, a great terrace, and delicious breakfast! there was a bit of noise as we stayed in the room right across from the terrace, but it quieted down around midnight. the breakfast is fantastic, and the property was very clean! the only real unfortunate thing is that we had to cut our reservation short (travel plans forced to change) and hoped to move one of our paid nights to a slightly later date, but were unable & just lost that money. otherwise, a wonderful place.
- Chris (10/5): - Fantastic. We actually arrive early and they were very hospitable and let us into a room since it was already cleaned and ready.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Friendly and Helpful Staff - Had a wonderful stay. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and can help with planning tours and transportation. It was great that they were able to help me by speaking English. The upstairs rooms are quiet and have a nice view of the mountains and town. The one I stayed in even had a television. The hostel is not a party hostel (which was great!), but there are drinks for sale and a nice cozy common area upstairs if you want to relax and chill out. The shared washrooms and hot showers were kept very clean and cleaned throughout the day. The entire hostel was actually kept very tidy and clean. The breakfast was really, really good (pancakes, fried potatoes, scrambled eggs, fruits, beans, etc.). Very happy with my stay.
- Yael (10/5): - Good place, quick and very clean. Great breakfast
- alli (10/5): - I love Yellow House and have stayed here many times over the past few years. It is absolutely the cleanest place I have ever stayed. The bathrooms are cleaned several times daily. The floors are constantly being swept. Breakfast is great, but note that it ends at 9am. I highly recommend a room on the roof/terrace. I don’t recommend the dorm room, which is a bit crowded and can get loud.
- Rachel (10/5): Can’t Recommend this Place Enough! - My husband and I spent some time at the Yellow House Hostel, and I cannot recommend it enough. The staff at the front desk are so helpful with recommending things to do and booking tours for you. The cleaning ladies make a great breakfast every morning and keep the place very clean. I think they clean the shared bathrooms like 30 times each day. Everyone was very friendly and it is in a great location. You can walk from here to just about anywhere you want to go in Antigua.
- Bryan (10/5): Super Recommend - Fantastic hostel with a great view from the roof of the volcanoes, super friendly staff, best breakfast in town.. I highly recommend!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Breakfast was AMAZING!! The ladies who cook it are friendly and the food is delicious. Also it’s free! The hostel is clean and the showers get nice and warm. We stayed in a private room, so not sure how the dorms are but the bed was good and the decorations were really nice! Also the front desk people are very helpful with suggestions around Antigua as well as getting around Guatemala. Great stay :)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean, close to key tourist spots, friendly staff
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good value, location. - A few blocks from Arco, clean room nicely decorated with comfortable bed, nice balcony common areas, actual hot shower. One negative I wish breakfast was earlier to accommodate early morning tours and transfers.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Best breakfast!
- Anita (10/5): Very pleasant hostel - Beautiful place with very helpful staff and great breakfast. Bathrooms downstairs are very clean. Beds are somewhat hard but good by Guatemalan standards. A great place to meet fellow travelers, since there are beautiful common areas to hang out in. The staff is very helpful in arranging transport, tours, side-trips
- Verified traveler (10/5): bueno - Great place. Good vibe, Superlocation. Excellent Breakfast.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best Place in Antigua - Garden Veanda overlooking the bustle below, views of erupting volcanoes ... great breakfast... clean, clean banos and rooms... great staff...Wow!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great value for the price - We stayed here 3 nights in the "orange tree room." I liked this room because it's at the end of the hall so people don't go back and forth in front of your room. The walls are thin however so be prepared to hear your neighbours a bit. Thankfully ours were quiet :) Bathrooms are shared but rarely seem to be full. Staff are very helpful. Breakfast is great. There is an open air lounge area with a couple hammocks and some comfortable chairs.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Stay Here! - Absolutely LOVED staying at The Yellow House!! Would recommend it if staying in Antigua!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A great base to explore Antigua. The staff could not be more friendly.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Yellow House is okay - This place is clean enough, quiet enough, bed is comfortable enough. Nothing fancy or special but for the price is fine.
- Jay (8/5): Great little hostel - Great little hostel. Perfect for the price. It is not a party place and you will need to be quite in the common areas after 11pm. Breakfast was great! Clean rooms and shared bathrooms. Easy to walk to and from day or night time. Safe and secure
- Verified traveler (10/5): Comfortable hotel - great breakfast - Very nice hotel, about 10 minutes walk to main square. Our room was on the second floor at the back and it was fairly quiet but rooms at the front would probably have been quite noisy. Very good hot shower, kept very clean - staff always seem to be cleaning. Nice breakfast included. Highly recommend.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly staff, they also run a travel agency out of the front with great prices. Would definitely stay here again
- Marina (10/5): First hostel ever - I was so impressed with this place. They keep the place extremely clean, the staff is very very friendly, free breakfast and great location.
- D (10/5): Nice rooms in a quiet part of town - Nice rooms. Very helpful staff. Hot water showers. Good breakfasts. Located on a quiet street, but still close enough to the sights.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Room with volcano view - We had a private volcano view room. The view as amazing. It had its own terrace area outside with a table and chairs to enjoy breakfast. The hot breakfast was great - freshly prepared omelettes with other hot items and coffee. The staff where helpful in arranging transfers and providing advise on what to do and see in the local area.
- aterosin (10/5): Perfect in every way. Really! - The staff, the laundry service, trek reservation, breakfast, cleanliness, perfecto. Things to improve: it’s called the Yellow House: please paint the outside Yellow so we can find it. Please light the stairs at night. No bano on top and going down at night is dangerous. More pillows in the community area. Those chairs are hard. Give the women the larger shower banos. We have makeup! Thanks for considering.
- Trisha (10/5): Best place I stayed in all of Guatemala - Pros: Very friendly staff who all speak English, extremely clean, delicious included breakfast every morning, close to all the major attractions & restaurants, hot water for showers, beautiful terrace. Cons: I stayed in the dorm room which faced the main road, and while it's not a big deal for me, I feel it's worth mentioning that it can be very loud with people and cars going by frequently. Ear plugs are a must if you need quiet to sleep.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very happy - Amazing everything. Too bad rooms don't have their own bathroom, but we were able to shower and go to the toilet with no problem. They were always clean and maintained.
- Miguelito (10/5): Best choice in Antigua - Excellent place to stay. Staff is awesome! They all speak English, and will help you with anything that you may need. Highly recommended!
- Trevor (10/5): Great place in Antigua! - From check in to check out it was a great stay. Staff were friendly and helpful, the place was always clean and the breakfasts exceeded expectations. We only booked a shuttle to Lake Atitlan through them, however it looked like you could make arrangements to do just about anything. Would recommend it to anyone.
- Carlos (10/5): Excellent Hotel - Friendly people, the breakfast was great, the room was very comfortable and clean.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing hostel and staff - My first time in Guatemala and as we arrived to Antigua, we had the private room located on the top floor with our own little lounge area. Check in was smooth, Cecelia helped us plan an itinerary for the rest of our stay in Guatemala. Marisol helped arrange tours for us. Both were super helpful, sweet and great to talk to. Exception staff, free breakfast daily was delicious and shared bathrooms were kept immaculate. Very much enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to everyone!
- Stan (10/5): Great value - Would definitely recommend staying here. Delicious breakfast. Nice rooftop chill area. Wifi was out for 1 day while we stayed but it might have been out of their control.
- georgios (6/5): Decent Cheap option - The room was nice, the hostel was at the edge of town, but nothing is too far in Antigua, you can walk from one end to the other very easily. The breakfast was freshly made. Unfortunately my room was across the corridor from the kitchen and laundry and I was woken up quite early in the morning.
- Pip (10/5): Nice hostel, great breakfast - Has a nice comunal rooftop with a killer view of the volcanoes and hammocks. Breakfast is really nice, the staff cook your eggs in front of you. The location is ideal for having a look around Antigua.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Hostel with good location and friendly staff - Small hostel, located in walkable distance to many sights in Antigua. Friendly and helpful staff. Was quite loud at night since thin walls allowed you to hear other guests. Cozy outdoor lounge area. Great breakfast! Hostel offered many tour options for outside the city.
- william (10/5): Great! - The staff here are wonderful. They are very personable and helpful. I stayed in the dorm area and the price is the cheapest in Antigua that I could find. There is a terrace area with fantastic views and hammocks for relaxing. Breakfast is free and excellent and the location has good wifi.

- Verified traveler (8/5): Eyellow House Antigua - Very clean, centrally located, the mattress was hard great staff and great breakfast. overall it was a great stay
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best hostel experience - Amazing staff, wonderful breakfast and location. I've never seen a cleaner hostel. The upstairs covered lounge is delightful. I can't wait to return.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect location, clean comfortable rooms - We loved our stay here, the staff at Yellow House helped us organise a tour to Acatenango and Semuc Champey/Tidal, it was so well organised and all the accommodation and transport was perfect. The breakfasts are filling and yum, the rooms are nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. Definitely recommend staying here!
- Keith (10/5): - Good short stay, value for money.
- Keith (8/5): - Good breakfast, good value for money, will stay again.
- Joe (10/5): - Best brrakfast so far on my trip in Central America, including Mexico. Great value and place kept very clean. Great preasure on showers and yes there is hot water. Staff was also great and very helpful. Only one flaw which is the lack of powerpoints in the room.
- Ana (10/5): Great hostal. Great location and staff is so nice. - Staff is so helpful and pleasant. Quiet hostal in a great location in Antigua.
- Lesley (8/5): - A good budget choice and as described in many reviews. We found the double room with view to have a very comfortable bed although it is very small so you have to be organised with your stuff. Super clean everywhere. Nowhere to do your laundry yourself however but laundry services provided. Beware of the deals the staff organise as these are not always the cheapest option; we shaved Q100 off a quote for a taxi to Guate airport by shopping around. Respectful quiet clientele. Beautiful view of El Merced from outside our room and the bells wake you in the morning.
- Jim (10/5): Great place with great staff - Had the pleasure of being here for Semana Santa and participating with the staff in the celebrations. My 4th stay at Yellowhouse and look forward to the next time.
- Steven (10/5): Yellow House gets an A+++ - I recently stayed at Yellow House with my family for Semana Santa last week. This was my first time staying at a hostel and I wasn't sure what to expect but Yellow House was quite impressive. My family had 4 private rooms and the accommodations and service are a great value at this price point. The breakfast is awesome! Fresh fruits, pancakes, potatoes, beans, pastries, fresh juice, coffee and eggs your way made a big impression on my family. We started our morning right with this breakfast. Also, the wonderful women that run this place are great! They were so nice and friendly to all of us and made us feel at home. Can't say enough good things about Yellow House!!!
- Tammy (10/5): Fantastic stay - Loved the Yellow House, the rooms are cute and the whole place is very clean. They do an awesome breakfast too. They are also great at organizing tours and shuttles.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Very clean but not very sound proof - The bottom rooms are very noisy. You hear everything! Other than that, it is very clean and nice. Breakfast is awesome. Location is great!
- sam (10/5): Good hostel good price - Excellent place to spend a night, very good value for money. Staff are friendly and booked transfers for us, they speak English. Be aware the rooms are small and bathrooms are shared- no problem for us as no queues and everyone very respectful of noise levels so got a great nights sleep.
- Virginia (10/5): Always great - Been there a few times, and it never disappoints. Their breakfast is EPIC. The rooms cozy (a bit small maybe if you have a lot of luggage). The view great. The common area very comfortable. The staff is incredibly nice. Bathrooms are constantly cleaned. The wifi is fast. Also, their rates for shuttles are cheaper than some that we've seen in other places. It may be slightly more expensive than the same hostels in the same category, but it's worth it!
- Harry (10/5): Super friendly, clean hostel - I returned to Yellow House because I was so impressed with my last visit. The staff are very friendly and helpful with organising tours/activities. The whole hostel is spotless, especially the bathrooms which is a massive bonus. The breakfast is famous from Peten to Monterico:) only slight criticism is the lack of space and storage in the private rooms. Would definitely stay here again
- David (10/5): Great location, nice accommodation, fantastic staf - The staff were always very helpful from the beginning and are all so friendly. They provide all the different tours with great prices and it is in a great location.
- Ron (6/5): A very well located hotel. - We stayed in the hotel just one night and took an early morning shuttle to the airport. The rooms and shared bathrooms are very clean. However the rooms are not very well decorated and are of block construction giving the feel of being in a bunker. There is also a noise issue because the block construction, which is common in Guatemala, does not block external sounds and conversations and footsteps in other rooms are easily heard.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Clean and relaxed - Staff was wonderful, guests were very nice, tooftop terrace was cozy and relaxing. Dorm room was clean, simple, and bathrooms were SUPER clean, and showers were fantastic. Highly recommend!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very nice place !! Very good breakfast - The staff was very nice ! The breakup really good. It was clean. In a good location ! Amazing place
- Kevi (10/5): I recommend the Yellow House - The location of the Yellow House is excellent. The breakfasts are hearty, delicious and healthy. The place is very clean as well with beautiful flowers around. The travel services are professional and very helpful. I would definitely stay there again. I would recommend the place to anyone who doesn't mind sharing a bathroom.
- Christopher (8/5): Impressed! - I'm not a fan of shared bathrooms and hostel type accommodation and have to say our private room was great. And the bathrooms except for one occasion were always remarkably clean! The grounds were washed even after they cleared away breakfast! The plants and comfy seating was great. The internet worked mostly and at times was slow to upload pictures. Bring your own towels otherwise you have to rent them! Shuttle prices and bottled water was competitive and they have free water if you have a container. There is hot water in the showers. Great place to chat with other travellers. Ended up with a great vegan breakfast as they had enough options which was much appreciated!
- Marilyn (10/5): Great little hostel! - Keep in mind this is a hostel and not a hotel. Expect shared baths (but never a long wait for a shower and always hot water) and budget travelers. Staff was VERY helpful at the front desk. Great breakfast each day. Our room was small but we didn't spend a lot of time in it. Our room was toward the back and fairly quiet; I'm guessing those facing the street had quite a bit of traffic/pedestrian noise. It was a little further out from the main plaza but near lots of restaurants, shopping, and La Merced Cathedral and a short walk to anywhere. We never felt unsafe in the area.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Clean but very noisy - Can hear noises all night and vey noisy after 5 am, I will never stay there again.
- Kamila (10/5): Really clean and comfortable room! - The room was really comfortable and clean. It has a roof tarrace which is a great spot for the evening chill out.
- Jerry (10/5): Great place for the money - Everything is great except having to use community bath. If you are on 2nd floor, you must come down long stairs to use restroom. I'm a senior and did it, but not fun at 3 a.m. However, going back, but this time first floor. Wonderful staff and 5 star comp breakfast.
- Lucy (10/5): - The yellow house is a wonderful hostel and it has the most delicious breakfast. I highly recommend this place.
- erica (10/5): - Really nice spot! Super warm staff, great breakfast and comfortable bed.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Bright, cheerful, right in town - Great atmosphere, good location, wonderful breakfast and the staff is very helpful. Near market and sights.
- Kelly (8/5): Casual comfort - The Yellow House is nice. Friendly guests, good breakfast, nice views, relaxed atmosphere. The room was small, but yet comfortable. The downside is no bathroom on the second floor so at night you have to navigate narrow steep stairs. The staff were helpful. There wasn't much in the room for storage or to unpack. Wouldn't stay too many nights. There are better places for the price with nice closets and private bathroom.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean, hot showers, great breakfast, nice rooftop terrace - would go back any time
- Michaela (10/5): Very clean, comfortable, safe, friendly hostel - This was my second stay at Yellow House Hostel and I have just rebooked to stay again! Even though the bathrooms are shared they are kept spotlessly clean! And there's always a fresh clean towel to dry your hands. The top terrace is perfect for views of the mountains and Volcan Fuego and hanging out in a hammock. Breakfast is good and changes a little each day, although service can be a little slow if you have to catch an 8am shuttle. All the reception staff are very friendly and welcoming. They also have good knowledge of English. It's a great place for a quiet night's stay on 1a Calle with just a few mins walk into the center of Antigua.
- Jim (10/5): Yellow House - My 3rd stay at Yellow Hoise. I received a nice warm greeting from all the staff. They keep the hostel spotless and breakfast itself is worth the stay. I'd recommend Yellow Houae to anyone looking to visit Antigua either for a couple of days or a couple of weeks.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice stay - Good breakfast, comfortable room, but a little noisy as people returned to their rooms after a night out.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly, helpful staff. Very welcoming. Safe, secure, beautiful, and clean. Walking distance to many cultural attractions.

- David (10/5): Excellent hostel for so many reasons - Fantastic hostel. My favourite in the last 5 weeks of travelling central America. The breakfast is amazing and we could even watch a volcano erupting from the roof terrace. It good place for meeting people or keeping to one's self. The cleaning staff are amazing. The receptionists are very helpful. Thanks!
- neil (10/5): Triple room best in central america - Best hostel in Central America, hot water in the showers, great breakfast, lovely staff, spotless room (triple) comfy beds. Antigua is expensive compared to most places, but this was definitely worth the money.
- Joanne (6/5): Basic clean and friendly hotel - This is a basic hotel and you have to share very clean bathrooms. However, the location is great, the included breakfast is substantial with cooked eggs, tomatoes, beans, potatoes, bread and good coffee. It is very reasonably priced and the staff are friendly and helpful. You can organise all your tours and activities at the front desk.
