    Cheap so you get what you pay for. The woman who runs it is very attentive and flexible. Rooms are fine, shower is more warm than hot. Located on the main street so a bit noisy but convenient with 10 min walk to main square etc.

    I don’t like writing poor review but I have no choice to prevent same victims like us. We made a reservation here for 3days on 17th, 19~20th Feb because we had a plan to go to Acatenango on 18th. First day was okay and we put our luggages in the room because the staff said she would move that luggages later. The problem was happened on 2nd day. We came from Acatenango tour near 12pm on 19th. At that time, the staff said she needed to clean up the room so we decided to wait at the garden. At that time, I and my wife saw that our luggages put at the same room. That’s why we thought there was no reservation on 18th. Anyway, we checked in again after she had finished her work. After then, we left our room two times. Once, we went out to have lunch and did laundry and went out again to get some groceries near 6pm. And it might be near 10:30pm. When I tried to go to sleep I found out a number of ants on the storage. They tried to get my yogurt so we were surprised and told to the staff. She cleaned up the ants by towel and might say we shouldn’t put sweet things in the room because of the ants. We thought it was quite strange because anyone can eat something sweet at the hostel room. Anyway, we threw away the yogurt and checked whether more ants were ther or not. Unfortunately, we found out a number of ants again from the storage to the corner of the room. It was just unbelievable. Besides, we finally could discover the body of a cockroach at the end of the line of the ants. My wife screamed out and lost her words. We called her in again and just showed what happend in this room. And it was much surprised what she said the cockroach must had come with us from Acatenango because there was nothing when she had cleaned up. Yes, that could be happened but that is also uncertain. Who knows? No matter when there was a cockroach, she was just busy to blame us without any apology about this situation even the ants. My wife called to her friend who lives in Mexico more than 10years to resolve this situation.(We are not so good at Spanish) But nothing had been changed. The staff repeated same things so we decided to check out right away. When we packed our luggage up she said we had to pay as we had been staying. That was too bad. She didn’t apologize anything but even she required the cost.(Of course, we didn’t pay) As a result, we checked out at 23:30pm and searched for another accomodation for an hour. Again, We could understand that the cockroach or ants could appear. We were not so angry if she would had apologized first. We don’t know when the cockroach was dead there. That could be when ths staff was cleaning the room or come in when the door opened. Or we might bring that cockroach. No one knows. Anyway, the fact is that cockroach and ants were there. The staff and her boss were encharge of the Hostal Colonial and hostel is the accomodation service for the customer. But they didn’t do their best and poor attitude. This was not the usual accomodation service. We were so disappointed about the situation. It was so unhappy and terrible service ever. And the most important thing is those kind of people could make the worst image of Antigua and Guatemala. I am not writing just because of temporary emotion or personal bad emotion. They need to.. no... have to realize what they have done. They have to learn about what the accomodation service is first before they focus on money. Last, I have no idea what they could excuse for this problem. They may have their own reason but I am sure that could be shown as good hostel but not the best. P.s We are really sorry for the other guests to make noisy at that time...

    Nice comfortable place, backpacker friendly. Only let down was lack of sink when in a room with a private bathroom. Also very little English spoken so you'll need to know a bit of Spanish
