Quetzalroo Boutique Hostel

What a great, welcoming, and affordable place to stay! My first time in Guatemala, Marcos welcomed me in care and attention. My room was clean and comfortable for a hostel place. We immediately bonded and gave me good advice how to move around the city. I met a lot of local people through him, ate delicious burgers, went to a bar and had some of the best local coffee, El Injerto! I enjoyed my stay.

I did the city bike tour and it was a major highlight from my trip to Guatemala. I learnt so much and saw so many things that I would never have known about otherwise. There are some good bike lanes in the city and by bike with a local is a great way to get around. I had the best coffee, saw a market with no other tourists and saw the main sights. I also saw the hostel and wished I had stayed there instead in another hostel which I had booked. It looked much more inviting here and it’s a great location. I would always stay here in future. The bike tour should not be missed, for anyone who can ride a bike!

What a great, welcoming, wonderful, affordable place to stay! I left the hospital across the street in the middle of the night and Marcos opened the door for me and welcomed me in. My room was clean and comfortable and relatively quiet for being on a busy road. The next night I needed to stay again and they welcomed me back. Cony made a typical breakfast for me for around $5 US. I felt safe the whole time and was very grateful to be able to stay directly across the street from the best hospital in Guatemala!

My time at Quetzalroo was excellent! I would note that it is a bit more low-key than some other hostels I have seen; I would recommend contacting them over WhatsApp if you have questions after you book since they took about a day to get back to me by email; however they are extremely responsive on WhatsApp. The owner, Marcos, is a great person and can provide great ideas of what to see in and around Guatemala City, along with Guatemala in general. The location is great with easy access to the airport, ATMs, food etc. The main thing I would note is that the rooms do not have air-conditioning, however that is pretty normal in this part of the world.

The owner and staff were very friendly and accommodating. The place is very unique, and was walking distance to the VAC and Embassy. The owner Marcos help us with travel arrangements. My husband and I will definitely come back to this place and explore this beautiful city!

Stayed there one night. The place was comfortable, rather large, and Marcos was very welcoming.

Very nice treatment from owner and staff! Room and bathroom was very clean and everything smelled fresh. The bed was super comfortable. Very quiet and calm during night.

I was surprised it had a full kitchen, loved it

Cozy Place and Good Treatment from the Hostel Staff
