Hostel

😠 The place is dark and looks quite run down. I wanted to stay there because of the free motorcycle parking possibility. But after just 30 minutes in my bed I already found and squashed two bed bugs! The owners didn’t apologize and didn’t react surprised when I told them, so I left quickly! People often mention hostel, good, nice, stay, view, dogs, friendly, location, owner,

    Great hostel. Really homely. Run by a really friendly lady from Russia. Has all the facilities you'd need. There's even a rooftop terrace where you can eat and watch the volcanoes steaming. please note, at time of writing this review Google Maps gives the wrong location. The blue dot on my attached picture is the true location.

    Unfortunately the moment I checked in to this hostel guests warned me that the owner's boyfriend was a thief and that I had to be very careful of my belongings. For the first night I enjoyed my stay enough that I booked a second. On that second day I went to get dinner and came back to find somebody had made quite an effort to break the lock I had on the locker with my valuables in it, enough so that the door wouldn't open without serious effort. As a result I wouldn't recommend other travelers to stay until she gets this guy out of the hostel. Once the thieving boyfriend is gone I'd say it's a nice enough place if you're on a budget.

    Great homely hostel with a family atmosphere. We left in xmas eve and missed out of xmas dinner with everyone! There is a kitchen with more than enough utensils, lockers, drinking water, laundry available and a rooftop with an awesome view. Had a great stay and wanted to extend! The location on google is incorrect by 100m. Keep walking up the street and it'll be on the left, there's a sign above the car park entrance. Very safe location, and a cool house dog!

    Friendly owner, I am grateful for her help with a booking ... But very dirty Two dogs put their food everywhere, urinated and sh... in one of the dormitories. The bedclothes were that ugly I was glad I had my own sleeping bag. View from my room

    Avoid this "hostel"! We had our money stolen by someone from the staff from our locked private room while we were out in town. Really shady place!

    Amazing place to stay to visit the surroundings of Antigua. Tanya the owner is a lovely person who will make sure you feel like home. Roof terrace is a big plus where you can chill while meeting other backpackers. Cheap and reliable, highly recommended.

    It's an OK place just to spend the night a take away for this place I'd say it's the lack of it being cleaned : sheets felt like if they where organized from previous guests didn't feel fresh and the fridge it's overloaded I'd recommend if your just there to sleep.

    I finally didnt stay at hostel Capitan Tom, although I was considering it, since it had a good price as for Antigua. I didnt even come in to see the rooms after i have been welcomed by a barking dog which almost jumped at me. Just in time i closed the door and the owner grabbed the dog. I mean: Seriously???🤔🤔🤔

    I stayed in this hostel almost two weeks. I was traveling a lot. This hostel is real home style community place. It is home. The owner has tree dogs Sebirean husky. It is very frequently dogs. I feel like I am at home. The kitchen is fully equipped and I cooked what I want. The hostel has a beautiful terrace with the volcano view. The are so many different hostels around. This hostel is home style community place. The stuff do the best. They help us to survive and save money. About the cleaning. I checked the some reviews and I was shocked. Some people tell about the hostel is dirty. Now I can say the hostel is no dirty. It is people are pigs. Some people from the Europe think here are slaves and everybody work for free here. Well I put 5 for the hostel. It's my opinion. If you like quite place with out drugs and alcohol it's your place.

    While I was there, I had my tablet stolen, a couple had their camera stolen and my friend had his tent stolen. I wasn’t going to leave a review but upon seeing the comments of so many others almost a year before who have been victims of crime, I feel it’s necessary to comment. You run a huge risk of having your belongings stolen and also being threatened by the constantly drunk psycho criminal who they are unable to evict. Its a really sad state of affairs because the owners are nice and I hope they can get rid of the lunatic criminal that lives there.
