Kitchen could have more utensils

Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are clean, staff is really nice. Rooftop has an incredible view to the city. It’s not a party hostel but you can meet a lot of nice people there.

They don't have a proper kitchen. Hope that changes in the future. There is no AC in the rooms, I suspect it will be a bit hot in the summer. The beds need to be renewed, but they are not as bad as the look

Best staff, inclusive hostel (sign language), very nice and helpful, great atmosphere. Would stay there everytime again

Toilets often get clogged or easily, even without paper.

The staff are amazing. They were always approachable and friendly. They also gave many useful suggestions. I also received a Christmas card from them for staying around the Christmas period! Location is good as it’s not far from the plaza but tucked in a quiet street.

Maybe a little pricey but it’s expected in Antigua,

Super cool little hostel. Really well run with great staff and cheap beer.

Staff were absolutely amazing. Not just helping when you asked but going the extra mile to do more than you asked for. Lovely building, great roof terrace with superb view.

I like everything! Especially the staffs, they are so helpful

The location is good, the hostel is clean, everything is good ! What impressed me the most is the staffs! Thanks so much to Sory , Miller, José & Tatjana and Sylvia and others I didn’t know the name ! This is the most organized hostel I’ve ever stayed! I travelled during the Protest time of Guatemala, also my flight has changed, because of the fantastic staffed, I managed the travel essy during the roadblock time!

One staff was a little impatient, perhaps having a bad day, felt rushed and judged when expressing adesire for the proper bed and room for optimum joy and comfort.

Lovely cleaning ladies, love the plants and atmosphere is supportive of many varieties of activities, private or group. A SHARING bin would be gr8, take clothing, leave clothing or any iteitems!

All was great.

Wow this hostel is the perfect place to stay. All of the staff were outstanding in their politeness and kindness. I was unfortunate enough to be ill during my stay and I was very well taken care of and offered tea and hot water bottles. The staff, especially Tatiana and Soli went above and beyond with support and advising me on a doctor to see. The hostel was also exceptionally clean, the cleanest I have ever been to! Also, free tea and coffee whenever was a big bonus.

Irregular pressure showers with irregular warm water, dark and a bit uncomfortable to change clothes before and after, small kitchen without running water, small dorm rooms

Terrace view amazing, super friendly staff! Clean and good shared spaces

Stayed in June 2022

The Wi-Fi did not work in our room which was really annoying (it was supposed to!). We appreciate the staff trying to fix this issue although it was never fixed.

Very clean and comfortable, and in a good location! Staff were very helpful!

This is the best hostel we’ve ever stayed in. The staff are all so wonderful and helpful, the hostel is immaculately clean and they even wash your dishes for you after you cook! The rooftop area is incredible for watching Fuego erupt in the evenings with an even better view than the rooftop bars in town.

especially the friendly staff and the rooftop :)

Booking advertises this hostel saying that the price includes all fees and taxes but it doesn't! so my hostel bed for 2 nights although advertised as 230Q came to 280.60Q, this adds up if you're backpacking!

Really nice hostel with very friendly staff and a great kitchen and rooftop!

Stayed in December 2021

Toilets and showers were tiny (knees touching door when sitting!). No dry area where you could comfortably change your clothes. Bedrooms were open (no keys). Wifi was very dodgy and the networks would fill up quickly leaving no space for you to connect.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff - booked Pacaya tour through the hostel. Large lockers. Beds had curtains and hanging pockets (loved this). Lots of water, coffee and tea available. Great roof terrace. Quite far out of the centre - quiet area.

Everything was great starting from the first moment I entered the hostel! The staff is very, very helpful and welcoming, the rooms a clean and make you feel like home. The terrace has an amazing view over the vulcanos and the city and there is free water, tea and coffee! I would definitely recommend staying with them! :)

The Purpose Hostel is simply amazing. So beautiful, comfortable and clean, with a wonderful staff. I wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else in Antigua.
