Hostal Guatefriends Hostel

Excellent service, rich food, comfort, safety and cleanliness. Very good location for those who have to take a plane or want to rest after a long trip. Super recommended.

Friendly atmosphere, helpful hosts, near airport if you are travelling. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Lovely staff. Very welcoming. Great prices for a lovely room with your own bathroom. Offer a free shuttle service from the airport. Gave good advice to us as travelers not accustomed to the area.

Nice cute bed and breakfast, the breakfast was great and it was very helpful to have Ruth come pick me up at the airport! Gracias amigos — just a little note Wi-Fi was a little finicky that’s all.

Good hostel if you have a flight early in the mornings (there is free shuttle) otherwise pretty average. Good Wi-Fi though.

Clean and tidy place. Excellent attention on the part of the owners.

Excellent experience, the place is very cozy, clean, the staff friendly and the breakfast is delicious. Super recommended.

The lady charged us much more money than the room cost. Just for being foreigners.

The woman who run the hostel is very attentive and drop me to the bus station in the early morning. From where I took the bit to go from Guatemala City to Lake Atitlan. The room and the shower are tidy and it's a good place for solo traveller to stay there for one night and then go to Antigua or lake Atitlan. Safe!

Very cozy rooms according to the price, meals and clean.

Wonderful place to stay! Warm hospitality, very clean, very comfortable beds, shuttle to the airport, breakfast, and a lovely enclosed patio with Wi-Fi access. What more could you want?!

Clean place and very friendly staff. Could improve the breakfast.

Close to airport. Not the most talkative staff. But does the job for flights.

Clean friendly, close to airport, nice shuttle service, we had private bath, thanks!

Ruth and crew are wonderful and the fact that they will pick you up and drop you off at the airport for free (don't forget to tip for excellent service! ) is amazing. Being so close to the airport can be both an advantage and disadvantage but for me the price is right. I will be back.

Loved the ease of being right by the airport. Bilingual service was homey in a good way and everything seemed perfect for a quick stay overnight before heading home.

My very first stop in Guatemala. From airport pickup to the stay, everything was perfect.

Lousy service, very expensive for what is offered. There are better options.

Ruth is a great host, and the rooms are cozy. We had a late evening flight and upon arrival she was very quick to pick us up, very convenient. Breakfast was nice and filling. Would highly recommend for anyone arriving at Guatemala City that wants a quick airport escape.

Very happy for the great service they offered me, they deserve the 5 stars, thank you very much for everything, so for those who are interested in staying in a place where they feel like at home I recommend Hostal Guatefriends that will be waiting there with the BR Open years.

Manager is very sweet and will make breakfast/dinner on request. Hot water. Nice beds. Free ride to airport (which is VERY close) Only thing I didn't really appreciate was how around 9pm my friend and I were joined by a 50 year old man in our shared room for the night. I guess that is the nature of hostels but we had hoped they wouldn't put a man with two 22 year old girls traveling alone. But maybe that is just me.

Nice rooms, excellent service. Good prices.! I loved it :)

This was a great experience for my family. Libertad, the owner and manager, is a warm and kind person who wants you to enjoy your stay in Guatemala. The hostal is clean, bright and secure and she includes a nice breakfast. It´s located within walking distance of museums, the zoo, artisanry market and the airport. Nevertheless, for your safety and convenience, take their free shuttle to and from the airport. Libertad can also help you plan a trip and then take you in her 10 person van or car. If it´s outside of Guatemala City her knowledgable husband will come along, but they do only speak Spanish.
