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!
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.
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.
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
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! ❤️
Where to begin. My stay was in one of the rooms with an on suite bathroom, most of the rooms in this hotel have shared bathrooms just so you know.
The beds are extremely comfortable, the linens and pillows are exceptional. Everything is kept spotless daily. The hotel is small, but beautiful. There are sitting areas and flowers gardens to delight the eyes. Even one of the terraces you can have your meal on and way off in the distance you can see one of the volcanoes erupting erupting smoke while you enjoy your breakfast.
All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are buffet style and more vegetarian themed, but the one day we couldn’t be there for breakfast they supposedly had bacon.
I would certainly stay here again. Not one thing bad to say about the place during our 4 day, 3 night stay.
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!
El personal fue siempre muy amable.
La ubicación y los servicios en relación al costo me pareció muy buena.
El desayuno es riquísimo.
Recién llegamos de Acatenango y el personal se dio cuenta por lo cansados que veníamos, nos ayudaron a entregar antes la habitación y mientras proporcionarnos lugar para ducharnos y descansar
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.
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.
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.
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.
