Beautiful hostel. It was a pretty location but i missed the privacy that most of the other hostels had for rooms with other people (it was like a big open room with beds all around the edge but no privacy curtains or addition spaces between beds). I enjoyed the beauty but there was some weird interactions with guys that worked or frequented there that made me a little uncomfortable as a solo traveler.

Great value for money. The dorms are decent, although they could be a bit more spacious. The backyard with the restaurant and pool has a great vibe. Special thanks to Pamela at reception - she was super friendly, cheerful, and very helpful. The only small downside was that the cleaning staff was a bit loud in the morning, as the walls and doors don't block much noise. Overall, I'd stay here again!

Incredible place to stay in Antigua! When you walk inside you see how huge the place really is! Many many spaces and areas to be, sit relax, swing, be by the pool , jump on a waterslide, join the co working room, eat at the restaurant or the huge one attached. Lots of options here and I loved the mellow atmosphere and options to relax. I loved the library too! Very reasonable prices! Great to meet people too!

I had a deep tissue massage while staying at the hostel. It was amazing and what I needed after my volcano hike. Service was great, very relaxing environment

First negative review I've written in 5 years of travel. The coworking space is shown in the listing photos as if it's part of the standard facilities, it's one of the first images you see, but it actually costs an extra $4/day, never disclosed before booking. That should be listed under paid extras, not presented as included. When I raised this miscommunication calmly at reception, the female staff member I spoke to was dismissive and unprofessional, which made a minor billing question unnecessarily frustrating. She should consider another industry to work in, outsideof hospitality and without people. The male receptionist, was helpful, but I was not impressed by how they handled this. I work in the travel industry, and handle cases like this myself, so I know the rules. Facilities overall felt dated and didn't match the photos, and I found black hairs in my bed at check-in (I'm blond), not a great first impression on cleanliness. The pool was a highlight, pretty nice, clean and well-kept. I only booked 3 nights and was glad of it. Would recommend Bloom Hostel instead.

Here’s a polished version of your review: I had the pleasure of staying at Socialtel Antigua with my friend, and overall, we had a great experience. The room was small but had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hostel offers excellent communal spaces, and I especially loved the hammocks, which were perfect for relaxing. The activities were a lot of fun. We joined the Antigua walking tour with Alejandro, who was very friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our questions about the city. The hostel was quite clean, and the Wi-Fi was excellent throughout our stay. The only downsides were that it was low season, so there weren’t many people around to socialize with, and the pool was quite cold. However, these were minor issues compared to all the positives. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We truly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is very active and has lots of social events for solo travelers and couples. They offer morning yoga, wine and painting and pub crawls. The restaurant was really well priced and the food was great. The staff was friendly and very helpful overall. Only thing we were a little upset about was the lack of an area for the pool. There wasn’t much of a seating space so it made the pool less enjoyable.

I had a wonderful experience at sociatel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and I was even treated to an upgrade when I booked a longer stay. Highly recommend the in-house massage with Maya too! She was amazing!

Frequently asked questions about Antigua Guatemala

When is the best time to visit Antigua Guatemala?

The best time to visit is during the dry season, from December to March, when rain days are few and temperatures are mild (highs around 25°C, lows near 12-14°C). April starts to see more showers. The rainiest stretch runs from May through October, especially June and September, with over 27 rain days each month and higher humidity. If you visit in late March or early April, Semana Santa (Holy Week) brings famous processions, but expect some rain. For reliably dry days, plan for January or February.

Which area should I stay in in Antigua Guatemala?

Stay in the historic center, El Centro, the compact heart of Antigua. It puts you on foot to the Parque Central, Arco de Santa Catalina, and the main churches and convents. For a quieter stay, the area around the Convento Capuchinas is still central and feels calmer at night. Most hotels, including Porta Hotel Antigua and Hotel Museo Casa Santo Domingo, are in El Centro.

What are the must-see attractions in Antigua Guatemala?

Start at Parque Central de Antigua Guatemala for the cathedral and colonial atmosphere. Cross the Arco de Santa Catalina, the city's iconic yellow arch. Climb Cerro de La Cruz for panoramic views. See the ornate baroque facade of Iglesia de la Merced, then visit Convento Capuchinas and Convento Santa Clara for a sense of monastic life.

What day trips can I take from Antigua Guatemala?

From Antigua, bookable day tours go to the Pacaya Volcano, the Iximché ruins, and Tikal by air. A shared tour also stops at Hobbitenango. Each offers a different side of Guatemala: volcanic landscapes, Maya history, and ancient jungle temples.

How many days do I need in Antigua Guatemala?

Plan 2 full days to see the main sights: Parque Central, Arco de Santa Catalina, Cerro de La Cruz, Iglesia de la Merced, Convento Capuchinas, and Tanque La Unión. With 3 days, add a slower pace or a hike like Pacaya Volcano, which needs an extra day. If you want to visit Tikal or Copán, plan at least one more day for the trip.
