The rooms in the hostel are fitted with a flat-screen TV. At L´Aurora Inn hostal rooms come with a private bathroom with a shower.

Museo de los Niños Guatemala is 3.2 km from L´Aurora Inn hostal, while La Aurora Zoo is 4.7 km from the property. The nearest airport is La Aurora, a few steps from the hostel, and the property offers a free airport shuttle service.

Where to begin!!! This place is amazing! First of all, incredibly affordable, you really get a lot for your buck! While it is listed as a hostel, the premises were beyond my expectations. The room had its own bathroom, the linen was very good quality, crisp, sparkling white ánd neat. It felt luxurious. The staff..made this place 5 star! They were efficient, incredibly helpful ànd friendly. I observed they treated each guest with care and genuine interest in our comfort. the free breakfast and coffee all day was a delicious added bonus! Special shout out to Juan Pablo, Edgardo and the ladies..they are true professionals in this industry! They went out of their way to make my stay Amazingly comfortable and relaxing!! They run this place like a well oiled machine!!! Thank you greatly!

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.

    Great location, very short (maybe 3 minute) walk from the airport. It felt safe both in the afternoon and in the mornings. Easy to get an uber as they hang around near the airport. The breakfast was delicious, plus they start serving earlier than usual so we were able to eat before our early flight which was great.

    Location can't be beat for before a flight -- 5 min walk door to door to the airport, felt very safe and secure. Staff was lovely, responsive and helpful when we had multiple bus delays getting to the hostel, and waited for us to get there. Bed was comfy and shared shower/toilet was good. We didn't get to try the breakfast or really check out any other facilities because we had to leave (walk to the airport) at 3am. In terms of pricing I think this is one of the better value for money you can get in the area!

    This hostel was perfect for simple traveling. The staff were super helpful. Juan from reception made sure that I arrived safely from shuttles and arranged reliable transportation for me. He was responsive and easy to communicate with. He assured that I had everything I needed and was so happy to help. The hostel is new, clean and has everything a backpacker would need. The location was very safe and close to everything else. I recommend.

    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)

    If you're looking for budget accommodation and don't have many expectations, this will do. The capsules give you a bit of privacy and the breakfast is delicious. From what I could experience in two days, the location seemed safe enough.

    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.

    All your needs in one small place (towels, microwave, water boiler, tv, etc). Very worth the price, great location - very safe. 10 mins from airport!
