AJESHWAR, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

this was the perfect place to stay for one night before an early flight. It was clean, basic and had a very reliable free airport shuttle running hourly from 4am-midnight, or for a small fee if you need it between midnight and 4am.
Helen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

This is an incredibly tiny hole in the wall hostel. But it's clean, the tiny rooms have everything you need. And of course - it's walking distance to the airport.
BARBARA, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice place to stay one night, on way in or out of Guatemala. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Hit water. Small room but adequate for a short stay.

10/10 Excellent

Very friendly staff. Got picked up from the airport. They were kind to accommodate my early check-out time which was 3am due to flight. Very nice and homey place
Jacquelynn, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

close to airport

very close to the airport, only a 10 minuet walk. Not much else around. I only had one night there as I had a layover.
Fiona, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Super easy great staff. Came in late and left early. Quiet and safe as a woman traveling alone.
Jordan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place to stay! Highly recommend!

Staff were efficient, kind, welcoming. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and well kept. Stayed in a dorm, other guests were polite and quiet. I felt safe and secure in the compound and in the rooms. Breakfast was great and just what I needed at 7a before I left for the airport. Coffee was great! Thank you so much! Would definitely stay there again.

Good deal
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Better than expected service after hours

This hostel helped me out when my initial booking fell through in the middle of the night. They picked me up on short notice at the Aurora Intl Airport and I got a nice private room with a shower bathroom that was not shared. The breakfast provided was large and filling, and they helped me get my luggage to the Antigua shuttle. Very nice people and I would stay here again.
Jennette, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It was generally fine. The shared bathroom was coed and not very private so I didn’t love that and I didn’t really go around the area, but it doesn’t seem like there’s much as you’re just near the airport and that’s the convenience of it. The people were kind and it’s a really good place if you want to be near the airport
Sheila, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Super close to airport

I arrived around 9:45 and they couldn’t locate my original reservation. They said they couldn’t find me and didn’t have my reservation. After looking she found the reservation I had made almost 2 months ago she said it was their mistake. Even though they didn’t have my type of room available they were able to accommodate me with another room. After that everything was perfect
Krystal, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Hot rooms. Cold coffee

Extremely loud all night. Doors slamming…. No soundproofing. Room hot and stuffy. No fans. Breakfast was really poor and not ready when indicated. Cold coffee
