this was the perfect place to stay for one night before an early flight. It was clean, basic and had a very reliable free airport shuttle running hourly from 4am-midnight, or for a small fee if you need it between midnight and 4am.

Service and courtesy are excellent! I only wish they could have other options to pay for food beside just cash only… But nevertheless, everything else was good!

This is an incredibly tiny hole in the wall hostel. But it's clean, the tiny rooms have everything you need. And of course - it's walking distance to the airport.

Great place to stay! Highly recommend!
Staff were efficient, kind, welcoming. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and well kept. Stayed in a dorm, other guests were polite and quiet. I felt safe and secure in the compound and in the rooms. Breakfast was great and just what I needed at 7a before I left for the airport. Coffee was great! Thank you so much! Would definitely stay there again.

It was generally fine. The shared bathroom was coed and not very private so I didn’t love that and I didn’t really go around the area, but it doesn’t seem like there’s much as you’re just near the airport and that’s the convenience of it. The people were kind and it’s a really good place if you want to be near the airport

Better than expected service after hours
This hostel helped me out when my initial booking fell through in the middle of the night. They picked me up on short notice at the Aurora Intl Airport and I got a nice private room with a shower bathroom that was not shared. The breakfast provided was large and filling, and they helped me get my luggage to the Antigua shuttle. Very nice people and I would stay here again.

Preis Leistung passt
Preis Leistung stimmt hier. Das Hostel ist sehr nah am Flughafen und das Frühstück war gut. Die Zimmer sehr einfach aber ausreichend. Es gab nur ein einziges Badezimmer und mir wurde nichts gezeigt/erklärt, sodass ich mich etwas unwohl fühlte alleine durch die Etagen zu irren. Das Frühstück wird einem frisch gemacht, auch das musste ich selber in Erfahrung bringen. Die Kommunikation kann verbessert werden.
