Meilleure expérience dans la ville
Pros:

Chambre avec salle de bain privative superbe ! En haut de l’hostel, sur le rooftop avec vue sur les volcans. Bel espace, rangement. Très bel établissement dans le centre d’Antigua et pourtant assez calme, possibilité de laisser gratuitement des bagages ce qui est rare à Antigua

Cons:

Eau chaude plutôt tiède

Pros:

La habitación era súper amplia. Buena ubicación. Hermosa la terraza.

Cons:

No había enchufes suficientes para las personas de la habitación. Sería bueno si tuvieran algún servicio de café o bebida para disfrutar de las vistas de la terraza.

Pros:

Spacious Dorm, I had a lovely, dark, quiet area. The roof top was also super with great views. It was also kept very clean.

Cons:

Louis, night staff was great, friendly and some English. The girls in the day not too helpful/friendly & unfortunately no English, very hard at a Hostal when one needs information. There is no Tour or travel info up, surprising. Plus no kitchen, not even a kettle for tea. Maybe they can change this?

Cons:

The room had a lot of moisture and mold. Some bugs kept biting me at night but I could not find them, maybe bug beds? Woke up with 5 bites in my face + other 4 in my body (seems unlikely for it to be mosquitoes?)

Also the room was not quiet you could listen to all the conversations in the hall and I was woken up at 1am by people arriving to the hotel.
