At the hostel, rooms are equipped with a patio with a sea view. The rooms are fitted with a coffee machine and a shared bathroom, while some rooms also boast a balcony. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge.

Fantastic vibe, with lovely hosts that will do anything to help. I loved the fire camp at night with sometimes Travellers play song music, loved the traditional temascal steam bath, and outdoor sort of dorms, allowing for fresh air, calm, confortable with plenty of room. Plus the view is amazing and healthy as it’s surrounded with organic fields. It’s only a short walk distance from the city centre and fresh 7q cononuts ;)

Mandalas Hostal is situated in San Pedro La Laguna and has a terrace. Free WiFi is featured.

A kitchen with everything you need and a dining area.

Great view of lake Atitlan and the surrounding mountains and volcanoes!

Everyone that works there is super cool and friendly, and makes you feel like you belong and are welcome. There is a bathroom on each floor and I never had to wait for it more than a couple of minutes. Hot shower. Really comfortable bed! And the layout of the room (private) was way cuter than it looked in the pictures. Even though you can hear all the nearby parties, it doesn't stay loud late at night because everything in that area shuts down pretty early and it isn't on the main strip, and the hostel itself is super chill. The rooftop hangout spot is a lovely and super comfortable place to relax with a view of the lake. The wi-fi works well, the staff will help you plan anything you want to do and answer all your questions, and I felt super safe.

I had an amazing in Chirris Hostel in San Juan. The hostel is super small and cosy, the common kitchen and space are so cute, it feels like home. I stayed both in the private room and then the dorm is also perfect, , only 3 beds and spacy, so this is the perfect option if you want to save some money. Everything is super clean and convenient. Andrea and Marta are adorable people, they help you out with anything and are so kind. I 100% recommend staying here for your trip to lake Atitlan!

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.

    The staff were lovely and helpful. I got a private room which was small but comfortable. The breakfast was very yummy, I highly recommend trying the homemade peanut butter on your yoghurt bowl. Great location and very good food.

    We stayed in one of their private rooms for 3 nights and we appreciated the great location in San Marcos, as well as swimming in the lake from its own beach and doing a enjoyable yoga class on the platform overlooking the lake. It's a hostel run with volunteers so they had little local knowledge but plenty of smiles to give us

    Honestly it was one of the best hostels I have ever been to. Its a little bit away from the city center (about 10 min walk) and therefor is really tranquil and calm. Theres a rooftop from which you have great view. It was really clean thanks to Eric. He is an amazing guy. He is always giving his best to meet the needs of all the people, as well as cooking breakfast for everyone in the morning. If you need any advice on what to do or what to see in San Marcos or at the lake in general you can always ask him - you‘ll get the best advice.
