This was an excellent hostel! The owner picked us up promptly at our bus station, and also dropped us off at the airport. The hostel also offers very cheap luggage storage during travel. Our stop in Guatemala included a free tour of the local market- where we ate the best food! We also were brought to a delicious pizza dinner... More

We stayed in a private twin room. The beds were comfortable. Almost all of the people we met at the hostel on our one night stay were friendly. The location is in a safer area of town.

It's secure, reliable, and efficient. What Quetzalroo is not: Very spacious or fresh. It's clean, but there are a lot of people in a small space and... More

It is with some shame I admit to having booked myself into the Western Camino Real when I first arrived in Guatemala, partly out of fear. I have no regrets about my three night stay spent relaxing by the pool, earnestly planning the next five months of my life behind a five star wall of security officials and attentive staff.... More

Quetzalroo is a great little hostel with friendly and helpful staff. It is run by a family who got into the backpacker hostel business after some backpacking travel of their own.
