Best Budget Places to Stay in Antigua Guatemala

Chill out lounge at Three Monkeys Hostel

Three Monkeys Hostel

The hostel’s motto, “A hostel for travelers by travelers” couldn’t be more accurate, as the three monkeys (owners) are travelers themselves and understand what backpackers really need. They always have time to answer questions or to suggest places to eat, visit and things to do in Antigua. Three Monkeys Hostel has a chill vibe, and though it is not a party hostel, it is a social place to meet other travelers. There is a fully equipped kitchen on the premises as well as a TV room, a big hangout lounge, and a beautiful garden area with a few hammocks to chill in. A bed in a dormitory costs Q55 and a private room for two people starts at Q250.

El Hostal Bed and Breakfast

The owner of El Hostal, Klaberth takes great pride in making sure his hostel redefines the preconceived notion that hostels are just cheap, dirty and noisy places. He is changing the game by offering his guests a variety of homemade breakfast options, towels, hot showers, a relaxing atmosphere, a juice bar and very clean facilities. Not only does Klaberth focus on maximizing the experience of his guests, but also on supporting the local community by employing locals as well as buying local produce to serve at the B&B. A bed in a dormitory costs Q90 and private rooms start at Q200. All rooms include free breakfast.

Posada el Refugio

Posada el Refugio is conveniently located near the mercado, bus terminal, supermarket and other tourist attractions. The rooms are very small and basic, but if you just need a place to lay your head at night and are on a budget, you’ll be hard pressed to find anything better for that cheap. For Q100 you will get your own private room with a private bath, a hot shower and free WiFi access. What else do you need?

Note: There is no website for Posada el Refugio so you will have to stop by in person to check for availability.

    For pure luxury and beauty you can’t beat Hotel Museo Santa Domingo. Located within walking distance to Parque Central.

    We always stay at Posada La Merced, around the corner from Casa Cristina and next to Fernando’s Kaffe. It has nice little rooms, a beautiful courtyard and rooftop terrace. The staff are so nice and welcoming.

        Yes, please do. Each evening, the courtyards are lit with votive candles. You can always hear the La Merced bells.

        It also has a nice little lobby gift shop with art objects, wine and coffee.
