Comfortable hotel close to all the sites
We really enjoyed our stay at yellow house. They helped us organise 2 tours during our stay and held our suitcases while we were at thee lake overnight. The breakfast was very tasty too! The rooms can get a little stuffy, but we kept the door open while we were there and the fan was great at night.

Es un hostel con todo lo básico necesario. Cerca de todas las atracciones coloniales y con desayuno incluído. Un staff atento y amable. El único inconveniente fue que luego de hacer check out, dejé mensaje esa misma noche y llamé al siguiente día para solicitar del servicio de limpieza de cuarto, una buena camiseta de fútbol que dejé en la esquina de la cama, pero desapareció, o sea, me indicaron como que no estaba. Estoy segurísimo que la dejé y en donde la dejé en el cuarto entre las frisas de la cama, pero nada que hacer. Tuve que comprarla de nuevo. Por lo demás...el lugar es conveniente.

Staff super friendly, nice view of volcano from upper patio area. The room was a bit small with the 3 beds, but it was no problem as the beds were comfortable. No parking on site, but a parking lot close by. You can walk around to the grocery stores and the Market but Central Park is a bit further. The taxis charge about $5 to take you to the park and the tuktuk drivers about half that but can only take you to within a block of the park. The free breakfast is great, eggs, fruit, beans, bread or tortillas and breakfast potatoes along with coffee or hot chocolate. Don't forget to leave a small tip for the servers! The area was quiet for the most part & the hostel is also a travel agency, so many excursions around Antigua and further can be purchased through them. We would definitely stay again!

We really liked the view from our door of the cathedral and the mountain. You could also sit and watch volcan Fuego erupt at night. I really miss waking up to that view. I wish that on two of the days of our stay we didn't miss breakfast, but we had schedule a tour and had to leave early on our last day.

Meh
This place was just okay for us, nothing special. The room was pretty tiny but had cute, minimal decor. Shared (cleaned) bathrooms located on the ground floor so makes it inconvient if you have to go in the middle of the night. Breakfast was the best part, staff was nice. We got discouraged when asking for a better rate as we were leaving at 5:30 a.m and wouldn't be having breakfast. They didn't negociate at all so we decided it wasn't worth it (too bad because we also ended up buying our transport tickets from somewhere else instead of here). Ended up finding a way better place for half the price so I guess it was a blessing in disguise for us.

So clean, friendly staff, great location
We actually stayed here twice, before and after a trip to Lake Atitlan. The staff are amazing, so helpful. We booked all our shuttles with them and they had a lot of other tours offered. This place is constantly cleaned, even the bathrooms. The breakfast is huge and varied and you can eat on their roof terrace with a view of three volcanoes. The beds were comfortable and each room we stayed in had a fan and screens in the windows. The rooms on the roof seemed to be brighter and nicer compared to the first floor rooms. The bathrooms are on the first floor, but the stairs are lit at night.

A perfect little gem
This hostel has everything you need. The staff were the friendliest ever. Breakfast is excellent with fresh fruits, eggs, beans, pancakes, real coffee and hot chocolate. The room was small but very nicely decorated with a comfy bed and gorgeous views. They helped us with booking transfers from the airport and to Lake Atitlan. We would definitely stay here again.

We really liked the location which was very convent to explore Antigua. The staff were very personably. The had a great tour of the Alfombra's preceded by a workshop in which we worked with them to create an alfombra of our own. It was very fun and we all were made to feel like part of the family. The staff were also super helpful with booking tours and departure plans. The kitchen / cleaning staff were excellent. Our room was immaculate after we would return each day. The breakfast in the morning was super delicious.

yellow house is a great budget hostel in antigua, with well-decorated rooms, kind staff, a great terrace, and delicious breakfast! there was a bit of noise as we stayed in the room right across from the terrace, but it quieted down around midnight. the breakfast is fantastic, and the property was very clean! the only real unfortunate thing is that we had to cut our reservation short (travel plans forced to change) and hoped to move one of our paid nights to a slightly later date, but were unable & just lost that money. otherwise, a wonderful place.

Friendly and Helpful Staff
Had a wonderful stay. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and can help with planning tours and transportation. It was great that they were able to help me by speaking English. The upstairs rooms are quiet and have a nice view of the mountains and town. The one I stayed in even had a television. The hostel is not a party hostel (which was great!), but there are drinks for sale and a nice cozy common area upstairs if you want to relax and chill out. The shared washrooms and hot showers were kept very clean and cleaned throughout the day. The entire hostel was actually kept very tidy and clean. The breakfast was really, really good (pancakes, fried potatoes, scrambled eggs, fruits, beans, etc.). Very happy with my stay.

I love Yellow House and have stayed here many times over the past few years. It is absolutely the cleanest place I have ever stayed. The bathrooms are cleaned several times daily. The floors are constantly being swept. Breakfast is great, but note that it ends at 9am. I highly recommend a room on the roof/terrace. I don’t recommend the dorm room, which is a bit crowded and can get loud.

Can’t Recommend this Place Enough!
My husband and I spent some time at the Yellow House Hostel, and I cannot recommend it enough. The staff at the front desk are so helpful with recommending things to do and booking tours for you. The cleaning ladies make a great breakfast every morning and keep the place very clean. I think they clean the shared bathrooms like 30 times each day. Everyone was very friendly and it is in a great location. You can walk from here to just about anywhere you want to go in Antigua.
