La Vieja Terraza

Hostel

😠 I'm not the type to complain and I tend to go with the flow but wow, the rooms were terribly unclean even for me. The room I stayed in had no windows so it was quite gloomy and dingy and there was a septic odor coming from the bathroom that could not be masked over by one of those floral odor eaters... People often mention tour, good, stay, recommend, travel, agency, night, minutes,

    I was approched by a man name.John i believe and he helped me to my place and told me about his company i was happy and he also arranged my bus to el salvador. I thought everything was fine until i went on the tour to acatenango and discovered that it was such a low grade tour. It was going to be raining so i wanted to change my date but they did not let me so i had to hike in the rain and freezing cold! Made the experience much worst also the sleeping bags and the top of the mountain are not ever washed just sprayed down, they smelled horrible! Almost made me vomit but i had no choice but to get into it because it was so cold. The experience was terrible, look at the weather first before you.book the tour bc they wont let you change. Aslo i found out through the driver to el tunco that they charged me $10 extra smh. So by trying to support a local buisness i get ripped off smh would not reccommend this company, there are plenty of other companies with the same tours and for cheap, el tunco should be no more than $40 max.

    A very nice reception guys. Welcoming and attentive. Central place, close to the cooperacion espanola where i was working therefore the location did seem to be perfect. Havent stayed more since the place wasnt very clean (i change my bed for the leat dirty after discovering that sheets were dirty, not with stains that you cannot get out after wahsing, no - the once that stay cause you havent washed the sheets after the previous guest). Also, no kitchen facilities and the night security guide would watch loud tv during the night.

    We had a very comfy private room upstairs with a window for only 150 Q. There is a night balcony area to relax. The bar upstairs didn't bother us at all, as at about 10:30 pm ever night, it turned completely quiet so we could rest well. The only kind of downer was the communal bathroom. It didn't seem like they cleaned it in the 3 days we stayed there and we'd always have to bring our room key to use the bathroom which was a bit annoying. Also it didn't have any soap. But for us, that was rather minor issues. I'd definitely recommend, good service, Juan is very nice and chill!

    그 호스텔에 이야기라기보다, 그 호스텔에 앞에 자리한 여행사에 이야기 이다. 조금 황당한 일을 겪었다. 짧게 말하자면, 그 여행사를 통해 투어 바는데, 새벽4시에 베이스캠프에서 아카테낭고 화 산을 올라가는 초반(출발후 5분경)에 내 ସ제가 생겨서 낙오가 Thanks for watching (3-year-old)s. 20-year-old snowflake snowflakes. 이후, 여행사에 이런 일을 격었다고 전하고, 투어를 다시 보내주기를 희망하였으나, 받아들 여지지 않았다. 가이드가 내가 느려서 그랬다는 되풀이 했다. Thanks for watching, snowflakes. The travel agency is located in front of the hostel. I experienced something a little absurd. To cut a long story short, I went on a tour through that travel agency, but in the early stages of climbing Acatenango Volcano from the base camp at 4 am. (about 5 minutes after departure), there was a problem with my bag and I was left behind. When I took control (3 minutes), the group was nowhere to be seen. I tried to find my group for about 20 minutes, but couldn't find them and returned to base camp. Subsequently, I reported this incident to the travel agency and requested that they resend the tour, but this was not accepted. The guide just repeated that it was because I was slow. Those who are slow or need the protection of a guide should be careful. More than a story about the hostel, it is a story about the travel agency located opposite the hostel. I experienced something a bit absurd. To summarize, I did a tour through that travel agency, but in the early stages of the Acatenango Volcano climb from the base camp at 4 am. (about 5 minutes after check out), there was an issue with my bag and it stayed behind. When I took control (3 minutes), the group was out of sight. I tried to find my group for about 20 minutes, but could not find them and returned to base camp. I subsequently reported this incident to the travel agency and requested to be booked the tour, but it was not accepted. The guide simply repeated it was because it was going slow. Those who are slow or need the protection of a guide should be careful.

    Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience in Antigua. La Vieja Terraza truly offers a unique blend of a friendly environment, top-notch Spanish classes, and exceptional travel agency services. If you're looking for an unforgettable stay and an opportunity to explore the best of Antigua, this is the place to be! I highly recommend it to anyone looking to create lasting memories in this beautiful city.

    We didn't stay in the hostel but they organized the tour for Acatenango. I recommend it very much. Super prepared and kind guides, the meals were very good. They kept our luggage for us for the night on the volcano and this really helps because I had read that not everyone does it, in fact I saw many people making the climb with 70 liter luggage. When we returned to town the following day they allowed us to shower. I recommend it very much.

    It is a place with a nighttime atmosphere, you cannot sleep with people smoking and passing by everywhere, the beds and bathrooms do not seem to have any love for cleanliness, if you go with children I do not recommend it, and if you like the atmosphere like that Yeah.

    (Translated by Google) We take two services with this company and the truth is that we are super satisfied. Very good attention from the guys, they explained everything we needed very well. We had agreed on a trip from Antigua to the airport in a shared bus and they sent us a private one. We recommend them. Thank you! (Original) Nosotros tomamos dos servicios con esta compañía y la verdad que estamos super satisfechos. Muy buena atención por parte de los chicos, nos explicaron todo lo que necesitábamos muy bien. Teníamos pactado un viaje de antigua al aeropuerto en un bus compartido y nos han enviado un privado. Los recomendamos. Gracias!

    (Translated by Google) Excellent place, good price, hospitality, security with cameras, no entry time limit, rooms on the second floor with a view of the water volcano, bathrooms with warm water, on the 3rd level intimate bar where you can drink until 11 but you can keep asking drinks and take them on the second floor terrace or your room. (Original) Excelente lugar, buen precio, hospitalidad, seguridad con cámaras, no limite de hora de entrada, habitaciones en segundo piso con vista al volcán de agua, baños con agua tibia, en 3° nivel bar intimo donde tomar hasta las 11 pero puedes seguir pidiendo bebidas y tomarlas en la terraza del segundo piso o tu habitación.

    I'm not the type to complain and I tend to go with the flow but wow, the rooms were terribly unclean even for me. The room I stayed in had no windows so it was quite gloomy and dingy and there was a septic odor coming from the bathroom that could not be masked over by one of those floral odor eaters. Sure the bar on the roof closed its doors at 11pm but the music and patrons continued to make noise until the wee hours of the morning. The dude at the front desk also ended up charging us a little more than we agreed on at the beginning and me, not a speaker of Spanish, I felt taken advantage of. You could do better almost anywhere else for the price. Perhaps the only good thing to say about my brief 2 night stay was the place has a pretty good location. And I liked chatting with some of the people who tended the front desk. Also, caution, bed bugs galore. But then again bed bugs can be most anywhere so that's not much of an issue.
