What a gem in San Pedro. We couldn't get enough of atmosphere there. Room was clean, night sleep excellent. Shared bathroom was not a problem at all as we rarely met anyone there. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Dining area is out of this world - so pretty and relaxing we could spend hours there. Food was delicious. The selection of breakfasts was rich and each one of them was tasty. Drinking water available at all times. Price performance is excellent.

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!

I had a very chill stay here. It’s near the party hostel so you can definitely hear music until around midnight but it didn’t personally bother me. They have a well equipped kitchen that most people stay here use so it was also easy to meet other travellers. The rooftop terrace was a cozy place to hang out and eat breakfast with a view. I used the laundry service which was same day service.

Situated in San Juan La Laguna and with Volcano Atitlan reachable within 25 km, Chirris Hostel features a tour desk, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. Some units at the property have a patio with a mountain view.

Andrea, the owner, was exceptionally attentive, helpful and conscientious. In addition to being an amazingly cozy and inviting atmosphere, she also explained her larger vision of reducing environmental impact (particularly on trash and water usage) and training local women as employees at a fair wage. Could not give a stronger recommendation for this hostel!

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.

    Love love loved this hotel!!! Simply stunning. Great location. I didn't want to leave. The hotel is covered in greenery and it feels like you're in the jungle. There are lots of birds (and hummingbirds) around and it's so peaceful. The vegetarian restaurant is great. The bed was really comfortable. There's nothing I'd change 😁it really exceeded my expectations.

    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.

    The hostel is run by 2 lovely guys that are happy to help with anything. For breakfast you have two options to choose from and everyone comes together in the common area so it's easy to meet other travellers. The showers are hot and the toilets flushable. I also liked that the dorm didn't have bunk beds. The hostel is in a good spot to get to all the other places for yoga, soundbaths, etc.

    This place is the bomb.com. I met the most incredible humans here, had an excellent breakfast included in my stay every morning, and felt like I was in a laid-back garden oasis. Erick is goofy and keeps the energy fun and light-hearted. The rooftop is lovely and there is always a yoga class available up there most mornings for a cheap price. This was my favorite hostel experience yet. Bathrooms and showers were always clean. Beds were comfortable. 10/10 would recommend staying here.
