This is the best hostel I’ve stayed in during 6months of travel. There’s a lovely courtyard with hammocks an aesthetically attractive and comfortable seating area, excellent kitchen facilities. Everything is spotlessly clean and the staff are exceptionally helpful. I stayed 3 nights - wish it was longer!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very good hostel with rather new facilities and dorms with curtains. Good showers. Safe location but not too close from the historical center

    The location was fantastic. In the heart of Zona 4, around the corner from a foodies paradise. Safe and clean neighborhood. This is a good BUDGET option but isn't like the pictures..

    Great location for night before flight, comfy room and bathroom and so lovely as someone who’d been staying in cheap hostels for months! Quite liked the fact that you can only Uber eats for dinner too :))

    Hostel is in safe modern area - lot of hipster coffee spots (one of them just next door), restaurants and also great modern foodcourt 1 min walking. It has quite nice terrace and kitchen. It is approx. 20mins walking to the city center. Overall, although accommodation was not ideal, for 1-2 nights it was okayish, taking account the fact, that it is hard to find cheap accommodation in safe zones in Guate City.

    The location was fantastic. Close to the airport and in an upmarket, safe area but only a 20 minute walk from the city centre. There are some nice restaurants and some shops nearby. The Hostel is in a secure compound with a garden and terrace where you can have an excellent breakfast. The room was basic but clean and good value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful. It's a great choice for travelers on a budget.

    Great stay! I had to spend a night in Guatemala City before my flight and Novohostel was perfect! Lovely staff, good breakfast provided. Located in a gated street so I felt very safe. I was also allowed to order food to my room, with help of staff which was great as I was very tired! Thankyou :) Also, I would recommend getting an uber to and from the airport if you can as it is much cheaper than the white taxis (I paid 100GTQ for Uber vs 700GTQ for taxi outside airport)

    Hostel is in a safe neighborhood and is actually cheap so I didn't expect much. However it definitely needs better cleaning cause I don't think our beds had their linen changed on that day cause we saw hair in our sheets and they had dust stains.

    I like Christian the manager , he is very helpful. The breakfast is basic but nice and sets one up for the day. People are friendly and accommodating. The showers are always warm. The bed sheets are changed every couple of days on request. The area are quit but safe and an ATM and shop are 30 m walk from the hostel. The kitchen is well set up for making own meals. As a budget traveler the hostel meets all requirements.

    Great location, this place was extremely clean and I felt safe the whole time. The gentleman who runs it was incredibly friendly and drove me to the airport for very cheap. Also this hostel is for an incredible cause and amazing value for money. I would absolutely recommend people to stay here.

    nice rooftop with open kitchen. Pretty Safe sourroundings with small Shop, Coffee place and Restaurant Close by. The capsule was spacious and gave privacy. Super cheap price and booking in short notice possible. At night it was about 15 minutes with a Taxi to the airport. You can book a Taxi trough the Hostel but Uber is cheaper.
