I liked everything- the staff at the front desk I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman who received me at the hostel in the morning. I had run into issues with my flight out of Guatemala at 5 am and returned to Guatemala City feeling anxious and sad and the way he helped me settle down, offered me breakfast (although I was only checking in at 3 pm that day), got a room cleaned up earlier and allotted me so I could have some rest. I will not forget his help all my life. I found my dorm clean, the kitchen is well equipped and clean, the breakfast is good, the place is in a good location. I slept well the bed was comfortable

One of the best hostels I have stayed at, ever! The rooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable, there are two rooftop terraces with views of the surrounding city and volcanoes, as well as hammocks, and a kitchen and chill areas downstairs too. Location is great -- right beside a main church and about 10-15 from the central downtown square. Lots of good little restaurants around (there is an amazing crepe place called Luna de miel that we visited multiple times), and you're close enough to walk up to the mirador in about 25-45 minutes depending on your speed. The breakfast is legendary (one of the best hostel breakfast I've had in 50+ countries of travel) and changes a bit every day -- freshly made fried or scrambled eggs, INCREDIBLE beans, tomatoes, potatoes, fresh fruit, bread, and then some kind of carb like oatmeal or pancakes or french toast. It is so filling and feels very healthy and balanced as well. Staff is AMAZING. Gaby, Brenda, Andrea, Juan Pablo María and Lily were folks we saw every day and they were so friendly and helpful every time we spoke. I know we also interacted with other lovely staff whose names we didn't get. You're just guaranteed excellent, friendly interactions and help from the people who work here. We came back three times and each time it felt like coming home. It definitely sets a high standard for any hostel or hotel. We'll look forward to returning again one day!

We had a really nice stay at Mazaryk. The rooms are extremely clean and comfortable for a great price. It’s quiet and out of town but not too far walking distance. The kitchen was great to cook your own meals in and there’s a nice terrace to chill and watch the sunset on. Really friendly staff who went above and beyond. Thanks again Fernando, Fernanda and Jose :)

Everything was great to be honest. Superb design and facilities, not only practical but beautiful. Staff over the top: one amazing girl at the reception took care and disinfected a wound I had a few times. The owner, whom I talked to, was very kind and polite. I could have stayed at my friend’s house this night but I really wanted to try this hostel, which I didn’t regret. I post tips and other stuff from my trips on the IG profile kilometravel_blog, in case it helps you!

All hostels in Guatemala

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Hostel is in safe modern area - lot of hipster coffee spots (one of them just next door), restaurants and also great modern foodcourt 1 min walking. It has quite nice terrace and kitchen. It is approx. 20mins walking to the city center. Overall, although accommodation was not ideal, for 1-2 nights it was okayish, taking account the fact, that it is hard to find cheap accommodation in safe zones in Guate City.

The location was fantastic. Close to the airport and in an upmarket, safe area but only a 20 minute walk from the city centre. There are some nice restaurants and some shops nearby. The Hostel is in a secure compound with a garden and terrace where you can have an excellent breakfast. The room was basic but clean and good value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful. It's a great choice for travelers on a budget.

Hostel is in a safe neighborhood and is actually cheap so I didn't expect much. However it definitely needs better cleaning cause I don't think our beds had their linen changed on that day cause we saw hair in our sheets and they had dust stains.
