Okay property, beautiful views, and good location to walk to shopping. Very basic room, no tv, no ac, little lighting, no fridge, no microwave. I had issues with my room locking and hot water, but staff helped to correct.

Location was close to everything. Rooftop was beautiful and the workers were friendly
I lost my tablet and the worker found it and held it at the front desk..place feels very safe as there are cameras every where. Book your hotel transportation and tour directly with them as it is cheaper

Amazing staff, super kind and sweet. Very accommodating and always have a smile on their faces. Most do not speak English but will happily accommodate you if you don’t speak Spanish. They are constantly cleaning and are just overall amazing!
Also the hostal is beautiful and has an amazing rooftop that gives a great view of all three volcanoes and the city, when the weather allows it.

Can't beat it for the $$
Found this a very pleasant place to stay. The location is great, there is a rooftop deck with views of the Fuego Volcano erupting in the distance and the staff were very kind. The rooms are basic but comfortable and there are lounging areas with bean bags if you just want to chill somewhere. Highly recommend!

Property was in a centrally located area downtown. Didn’t have to walk far for anything–food, snacks, souvenirs, site seeing. Room was very clean. Only thing is the walls are thin and can head upstairs. Stayed in a private room/private bath. Would stay again

Location was great and staff was friendly. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
They didn’t clean my room the first day even though daily housekeeping is promised. Also hot water and WiFi were not good.

Great location and good cleanliness
Great location and clean bathrooms. I visited in the low season so not over-crowded. Room was warm and there were no windows or option for fresh air, which was fine due to the season but I imagine it can be rough in the warmer seasons.
Staff is nice and friendly. Unfortunately they could not provide keys for the lockers in my room.

Had to ring the bell to get inside, they made sure everyone going in where from the hotel. Made us feel more at ease with our stuff inside.
Make sure you know some basic Spanish, they don’t speak English. Very kind people tho :)

Nicely decorated rooms. Simple but expedient furnished. Nice roof terrace with amazing view.
When the chairs on the roof terrace are moved, it is very noisy in the rooms under the terrace. Hot water in our room didn’t work, so we used the common bathrooms.

I had a single room and it was a basic accommodation but served my purpose. Convenient to everything and considering this was very quiet. Loved the rooftop. You were unable to have the window open and close the blind which was not an issue because it was cool. If it were warmer I think it would be a problem so a fan might be helpful.

Not bad
No sound proofs at all. You can hear people giggling and chatting even late at night and very early in the morning. I couldn't have a good sleep even single night. If you are looking for somewhere quiet for a good sleep, take another options please. Other than this, not bad.
