Selina Antigua

The hotel is set back off the street so really quiet from street noise with a small waiting room up front. Super stylish, welcoming, friendly & eclectic design. The bed is comfortable but no window (a fan) and small for 2 people with luggage. The location is terrific 2 blocks from the arch. One small snafu - we booked airport shuttle for 3 - had misunderstanding with staff I meant afternoon & they booked 3am. We had to re pay and staff helped us get a seat on the shuttle we needed to make our flight so all is well that ends well but could be something to be mindful of when dealing with tourists who may not be used to using military time.

Spontaneous trip-So glad we found a last minute private room! The room was very clean, bed was comfy. Bathroom a bit small but very clean! Love the desk and small sofa. The best part was the view of the volcano. We had a 3rd floor room! Location is perfect! I usually stay in boutique hotels with my husband and this room definitely felt like it. The coffee/bar area is great too! Good drinks and WiFi! The next door restaurant la Esquina was awesome!

Great hostel in a great location. Easy to explore all of Antigua. Loads of facilities and places to just chill.

Beautiful amenities, only thing we didn’t like is that the shuttles were more expensive than in other agencies, and when we asked the staff about that the answer was that we will be picked up first. It was a lie, we were picked last.

Very good

This hostel is huge! It's really funky with a bar, eateries, pool, awesome outdoor area and staff who are friendly and helpful.

I was amazed by this place. Everything is so well designed and well maintained and the atmosphere is great! The dorms are super comfi with personal light and socket (even USB sockets!) Don't hesitate.

I had the deluxe room booked - and for the price (around $80) it was a bit disappointing. The room faces the street, and has a tiny balcony - therefore it is very noisy with traffic all through the night, and the exhaust fumes make it rather unpleasant if you open the doors to the balcony. Daily housekeeping was done, but on three of my 4 days only one of the two bins was emptied, the bathroom wasn't cleaned properly - I understand it's a hostel, and would have been happy with the lax service if the price would have been lower. You can get a better and quieter room for that money in Antigua. On the positive side, the communal areas were really nice, and the service was good, always somebody on reception who spoke fluent english and was able to help out with transport and tours. Also the concept of the chain is clearly pointed towards young travellers, in my mid forties I felt a bit misplaced.

I really wanted to give this hotel 5-stars but a few things fell short towards the end of my visit so I'm opting for 3 instead. For the positives: the hotel is well-located in Antigua, the prices are reasonable, the showers are hot and clean, the hotel looks really pretty and the beds are comfortable. In the dorm I stayed at, there was outlets around all of the beds, which is really convenient. I also liked that there was a female dorm, which is sometimes hard to find in hostels in Guatemala. Internet seems to be relatively fast. I was able to download a few Netflix episodes. However, there's a few things I didn't like. First, customers are allowed to smoke in the restaurant/bar area, which is really disgusting and unpleasant. Second, I booked a shuttle ticket at this hotel for Livingston in Guatemala. What they sold me was not a direct shuttle at all - it was a shuttle to a bus station in Guatemala City, where they gave me a ticket for a LiteGua bus to... Rio Dulce. Not Livingston. So it was really annoying because once in Rio Dulce, I had to pay an extra 150Q (about 30$) for the last leg to Livingston. It was also annoying because it was not a shuttle at all, it was just a shuttle to a bus station where I had to wait an hour to get on a bus. If I would have known, I would have simply gone to Guatemala City by myself and booked the bus myself.
