What people say

Marlena Ruthe
"This place is located in the heart of the town and makes it easier to get to all the attractions and restaurants. I enjoyed staying here because the hostel has a beautiful communal area including, a kitchen, lounge area, and outdoor seating where they have a bar. There is even a game room and hammocks that lie within a mini garden. The hostel lists activities that happen within the hostel throughout the week, including a free salsa dancing class night. It is easy to hang out with others if you are looking to socialize or to hang out in one of the many rooms for more seclusion. Tip: Antigua is typical not too hot but sometimes as it approaches rainy season the rooms will get warm and some hostels have fans but there is no A/C. Lightweight sleep clothes would be a good idea.

"To date, Maya Papaya remains one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. There are so many hostels in Antigua, but this one should be at the top of your list. The delicious free breakfast, friendly staff, and central location make this the perfect spot for backpackers."
"Maya Papaya has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Antigua Guatemala. This 4-star hostel offers a concierge service and a tour desk."
