The Purpose Hostel - Antigua

We had a fantastic start to our Guatemalan holidays at The Purpose Hostel. Tatiana, a very patient and helpful staff member, answered all our questions and made us feel so welcome. The highlight was enjoying our morning coffee on the beautiful terrace with a view of three volcanoes. I highly recommend this hostel for a great stay.

Every detail has been thought through, making it a truly wonderful experience. the owner is friendly and outgoing, making us feel at home instantly. She knows the best food places in town and helped us with other questions. the rooms are comfortable, the showers are hot and clean, and the rooftop terrace offers an incredible view. the staff is lovely and the hostel supports deaf people and teaches local indigenous women important skills. This is one of the best hostels we've ever been to. Highly recommended!

Nothing not to love! 😊.

The hostel had a nice, modern decor and a beautiful terrace. the owner was friendly and helpful. They provided free water, tea, and coffee. the rooms were clean and comfortable. the location was convenient and there was a great restaurant nearby.

The lack of privacy in the toilets and showers was a downside. the toilet walls and doors didn't offer much privacy, as they were open on the top and bottom.

My recent stay at a hostel in a beautiful colonial town was really good. The friendly people there were very good too ensure I had a great time. The relaxed vibe and clean facilities, including a chill rooftop terrace, made my stay even better. The best part was knowing that by staying there, I was also contributing to the community. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting the area.

This hostel is a fantastic place to stay, offering clean and modern rooms with comfortable beds. the location is great, with plenty of cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood, and it feels safe at night. the shared bathrooms are nice and the hostel has plenty of areas to chill out and play games.

The shared kitchen could use an extra stove and a sink for convenience.

I stayed at this hostel for several days and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were extremely friendly and made me feel right at home. The beds were comfortable and the showers were great. They provided free drinking water and coffee, and even had big lockers for storing my belongings. The hostel had a cozy atmosphere and plenty of chill areas, including a rooftop with amazing views. Tatiana, the owner, was incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. I would highly recommend this hostel!

My partner and I stayed at this gem of a hostel for a few days and were blown away by the wonderful staff, peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful rooftop terrace. The owner, Tatyana, was incredibly helpful and friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. The hostel is located in a quieter area, allowing for a good night's sleep, yet still close enough to the center. The bathrooms were spotless and the hostel offered free water, tea, and coffee. it's the perfect place to relax and unwind while in town.

Would recommend this hotel.

purpose made my birthday celebration in antigua even more special! the clean and comfortable rooms, friendly german owner, and helpful staff exceeded my expectations. i loved the quiet area, powerful showers, rooftop terrace, and daily cleaning service. everything was perfect at purpose!

no full kitchen

Homey atmosphere, extended stay, spacious and clean private room, great bathrooms and chill areas, amazing rooftop, sweet and caring host.

We had an amazing stay at this hostel! The purpose behind it really shines through in every detail. The owner is friendly and helpful, and she knows all the best food spots in town. The rooms are comfortable and the showers are clean. The rooftop terrace offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area. It's not a party hostel, which was perfect for us as we wanted a tranquil atmosphere. We also enjoyed the free water and coffee all day, as well as the great wifi. Highly recommended!

No complaints at all! 😊

Amazing owner, friendly staff, comfortable rooms, hot showers, rooftop terrace with great view.

Nothing everything was great.

From the moment I stepped into this hostel, it was like entering a whole new world of awesomeness! The staff here are next level, so friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spotless and give you all the cozy feels. And can we talk about the view from the terrace? JAW-DROPPING! Plus, they have free water, tea, and coffee all day long. I could stay here forever!

The Purpose Hostel offered really good value for money with comfortable and clean rooms, and great social spaces. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was centrally located.

The breakfast offerings could benefit from more variety or options.
