Maya Papaya

Very nice hostel with a cool and chill vibe! Beds where very confortable and they also have a small bar outside. Drinks where food and cheap! I really liked staying here. They also include breakfast! I was traveling solo and had the chance to meet nice travelers. Thanks again!

My partner and I spent 5 nights at Maya Papaya and loved it! We booked our stay very last minute, as we had heard positive things about the place but it looked fully booked online. So we showed up at the reception and asked if they could somehow accommodate us for the week. The staff was super kind and made it happen - we had to change room three times but that was absolutely fine and a smooth process, simply moving our things from one room to the other. Having seen three different rooms (both with shared bathroom and ensuite) we loved all of them. Clean, spacious, comfortable beds, powerful hot shower, nice simple decor, quiet. The garden and cafe area are perfect to relax and chill in the sun or shade after visiting the city and to enjoy breakfast (one savoury and one sweet option to choose from - we loved the oatmeal with fruit, yogurt and macadamia nuts). The staff is super kind, all nice and friendly people who are happy to help with any logistics and planning you might need. Definitely recommend, and we would love to go back!

Very cute hostel. They helped arrange a driver from Guatemala City airport which was very nice. The free breakfast is super good! The drip coffee was also suuper good. All the staff was very nice. It was clean, beautiful property with fruit trees, games like ping pong, darts etc. Fun drink deals at their bar, daily cleaning. Room was a bit small but very nice. Lots of food in the local area. Definitely recommend!

Traveled here with a friend. Incredibly unimpressed. Originally, we really liked the property, very nice outdoor spaces. We returned to the hostel around 11 pm and it was locked with no way to get in. We called the number and knocked for around an hour before being let in. No one told us we would be locked out and we were waiting with multiple other people. To matters worse my friends inhaler was left inside ( with being told we could get in whenever) and she had zero access to it for at least an hour. Incredibly unsafe and unimpressed.

This is a great hostel - the rooms and facilities are very clean, it’s nicely decorated and the staff is wonderful. The breakfast each morning is very tasty. It’s feels like a boutique hotel. It’s located in a great part of town and is walking distance from everything. If you plan accordingly, you can go to yoga at a sister site.

Sólo me hospedé aquí en mi última noche en Guatemala, aparte de que llegué tarde y me fui muy temprano por lo que siento que no puedo calificar muchas cosas como el desayuno pues no lo probé, pero asumiendo que es un hotel hermano de Ojalá, supongo debe estar igual de bueno :) El recepcionista fue muy amable conmigo y el lugar está bastante amplio y bonito, tiene hasta su propio gimnasio!! Tiene más vibra fiestera, siempre hay mucha gente y ruido en el bar, por lo que si te gusta más la calma, recomiendo mejor Ojalá. Las habitaciones se sienten muy oscuras y pequeñas para la cantidad de gente que hay y aún siendo septiembre hacía calor, no me imagino en pleno verano, necesitan aire acondicionado. Los colchones bastante cómodos y amplios y me encanta que tengan cortinas de privacidad. Hay una sala donde puedes hacer tu maleta en calma si sales temprano como yo y no quieres molestar a tus "roomies". Deberían avisar que la cocina no puede usarse a ciertas horas, ya que nadie me dijo y me quedé sin desayunar porque estaban las empleadas preparando el desayuno y no me dejaron pasar. La limpieza de los baños deja MUCHO que desear. En Ojalá realmente estaban mucho más limpios y cuidados, ojo ahí. Lo poco que estuve es lindo, sólo esos detallitos sí deberían mejorar! Por lo pronto, creo que me quedo con Ojalá...
