Chirris Hostel

San Juan La Laguna

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!

Mandala’s Hostal

San Pedro La Laguna

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.
