The name of this hostel tells it like it is: located in the charming colonial town of Antigua, Jungle Party Hostel is the place to come to let your hair down. With two on-site bars as well as plenty of chill out spots with hammocks and bean bags, Jungle Party Hostel provides guests with the best of both worlds – a place to party, as well as to recover in peace the next day. There’s also a swimming pool and a rooftop terrace bar; head here for a drink at sunset to enjoy gorgeous views over the city and volcanoes. There are dorms and private rooms at very reasonable rates, as well as a restaurant, lockers, laundry service and WiFi.

Situated in the heart of Antigua, Tropicana Hostel is social yet also relaxed, and just as suited for solo travellers as groups of friends. There’s a bustling, always-busy bar, a decent restaurant, a small but cute swimming pool, and a roof terrace from where you can enjoy sweeping panoramas of the city. One excellent feature at Tropicana is the different activities they offer: their multi-day trek through the surrounding mountains is very popular with guests, and a great chance to make new friends. There’s a TV room with movies and games, and the rooms and facilities are clean and comfortable.

Hostal Antigua, Antigua

Hostel
3.8/5 (19 Reviews)
Its name may not be that creative, but Hostal Antigua is still one of the coolest hostels in the city. Smack bang in the centre of town, the selling point of this spot is the excellent atmosphere, which is lively and sociable, but not so wild you won’t be able to sleep. The cosy common space is a great place to meet other travellers and enjoy some beers before heading out onto the town, and for a small fee you can gain access to their sister hotel’s pools. Amenities are decent, with a laundry service, lockers, spotless bathrooms, an outdoor terrace, a good communal kitchen, and plenty of tour and transportation opportunities.

    • Hostel Fe, Lake Atitlan

    Hostel
    Map View
    Proudly describing itself as a party hostel, Hostel Fe is situated right beside the magical and mysterious Lake Atitlan – so close, in fact, that you can leap from the deck right into the water (just make sure you don’t do this at the end of the night!). There are fun evening activities throughout the week – most of which revolve around the loud and busy bar – so it’s a great place for solo travellers to meet new people. The usual hostel amenities are available and of a good standard, and anther perk is the sensational mountain views that you can admire from almost every room.
