Feels very homey and it was a comfortable stay. Great location in Pana, just steps away from main streets. If you want a stay to rest, this is your place. If you want to socialise, then stay elsewhere. Owner is down to earth and accommodating. Pay in cash only

Fairly modern hostel in an excellent location with clubs, restaurants and the lake easily reachable on foot. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel at home, the services offered are also excellent. Comfortable beds and the presence of curtains that guarantee privacy when sleeping is appreciated. I also liked the Hostel party atmosphere, with events and evenings suitable for making new friends and having fun with other guests.

Chirris Hostel is a charming accommodation right near the main street that leads to the public boats. The staff were very friendly and checkin was quick and easy. They were able to arrange for me to join a group sunrise hike of Rostra Maya. The dormitory room was comfortable and had small lockers as well as a shelving unit. There was a small kitchen and clean shared toilet and shower area. I would definitely recommend staying here and will come back next time I am San Juan.

Everything was great, a very cosy family-run hotel. The location is nice - close to all the restaurants and bars but at the same time a bit off, therefore calm. Great view of the lake, it is nice to chill on a hammock. The host is very friendly and helpful. For the price you pay it's great

Interesting room. Owners are clearly art or design buffs, so the room has all kind of art pieces about New York and San Francisco, which is kind of groovy. The most unusual design I have ever seen for a bathroom tap. Incredible towel origami. It is a self-check-in place so you follow the instructions provided by messaging for entry code and key in a box etc. Unfortunately the key was not in the box when I got there at night. The owner, however was very swift and timely in providing a solution in an upgrade for an apparently better room for no added cost. A very nice old man is a janitor or other and was doing his best to be helpful in different situations. In terms of value for money, it is one of three cost effective accommodation options I found in the area.

+ The location was beautiful! The cabins are surrounded by nature, saw avocados hanging from the trees and squirrels hopping around. + No spiders or scorpios in the accomodation + Super clean and cabin has great smell of wood + Kept in contact with the manager all time, they answered all of my questions, provided with clear instructions how to reach the house. + The manager was friendly and let me do late check out! + The water in the shower was great, no issues adjusting the temperature. + Loved the style of the cabin!

All hostels in Panajachel

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It's probably one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Beds are comfy with full curtains and lockers to store your bags in before checkin or after checkout. And possibly the best staff that honestly make you feel welcome from the very moment you enter.

    Recommend this hostel without any hesitation. It's social, clean, owners are super friendly and helpful, the beds are confortable and have curtains. There are chillout areas on the balcony and a super nice rooftop terrace. The location is super central and you have plenty of shopping and eating facilities for any budget close.
