We stayed in a double room. We appreciated a table in pur room since we had to work. The shared kitchen was clean and well equipped. Location o the hostel is good, 3 minutes walk from the main busy street.

We stayed for 3 nights and every evening roughly from 6 to 10 there was a loud music coming from other hostels/bars. It wasn’t that bad but it couldn’t be just ignored and it can get annoying of you stay for long time I guess.

Location is good even though the Mr Mullet at few meters implies no sleep till midnight. The terrace at 4th floor has a great view and the kitchen is well equipped. Very clean and comfortable beds.

Only 3 bathrooms, no hot water. Basically there's no staff, only volunteers that are not really able to help with transportation options, payments etc. Credit card fee at 10% makes zero sense. The dorm room next to the kitchen is extremely noisy

Very nice hostel, nice vibe, great communal areas and kitchen. Bed was big and comfy and the bathroom nice and clean.

The party hostel is nextdoor and was very loud, tough it was around new years so maybe a coincidence. You have to walk through some dark alley's to get there, but I personally didn't feel unsafe there.

Nice beers and lake view on terrace

Little water out of shower and sink in our room

great staff, good location

next door is a party hostel that has loud techno music from 11am to 11pm. very very uncomfortable bed as well

Nice cosy hostel with good vibe and good comfy rooms. The staff is friendly and you have a nice terrace with a good view.

Next to it is a party hostel and you have loud music and loud screaming drunk people every afternoon / night. The entrance is in a little shady-looking side street up some hill, but we never felt unsafe to go through there.

Great location in San Pedro, perfect if you want to be in a chill spot just outside the party bars/hostels. Really great staff too!

They have 3x Wi-Fi boxes & they all barely work. For the private rooms, you need to lock it with a key from the inside, essentially you can lock yourself in the room if you lost the key or what if there was a fire?

single beds in dorm instead of bunks was great. good location. didn’t go to common areas upstairs so can’t remark on whether there was a socialising atmosphere.

water wasn’t hot for first night. no 24/7 reception

I loved this hostel. The staff was very helpful and the hostel is kept very clean. There is a gorgeous terrace overlooking the lake and volcanoes which is an amazing place to start your morning and end your night. The kitchen is huge and has everything you need to cook. The value for money for this place is exceptional. I was recently travelling through Europe where I payed 5 times the price for a door room. Mandalas was much nicer and offered a lot more in comparison to the hostels I stayed at there. The beds are large and very comfortable. The location is excellent, (just off from the Main Street with restaurants, bars, and lake access.) This was a great place for me to rest and explore San Pedro and the surrounding towns around the lake. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to lake Atitlan!

good location great kitchen with a toster oven and all that is needed big beds (queen) in shared room good Wi-Fi

I slept in the first floor, a few times a cat walked into the room because the door doesn’t close properly (no key to it either) and climbed Into my bed and on my stuff (!!!!!!!) no hot water at the shower there is no proper reception so doesn’t feel like the is always a staff member that is around for questions. a few times in my stay I needed to go and open the front door because people were locked outside. you can hear the music from mr. mullets very loud until 11PM +-

Staff is nice, kitchen is very well equipped, it was very quiet at night

We took the private room with sea view. There was stinky mold in the room, we asked for a new room which we got immediately but there the flush of the toilet did not work. It wasn't very clean as well.

Nice relaxed hostel. Not a party hostel but pleasant enough. Dorm beds are very large single beds so very comfy compared to most hostels. Staff are friendly

Laundry was quick but quite expensive. Room was quite bright in the mornings. Bit further from the main drag than others down a dark alley, still felt quite safe though

creepy way to go back in the dark (not on the main street and getting to the hostel through a small alley)

The place was very nice and the staff very helpful.

The noise from the Party hostel next to it was unbearable.

The people who work there are really kind and helpful, you can ask them anything! I looove the open social spots where you can hang out with people. The kitchen is big and has everything that you need and more!

They need new beds.

social but relaxed compared to other San Pedro hostels. well situated and the terrace is great. well equipped kitchen

the beds wnd pillows were abit uncomfy and no proper privacy curtains.

good balcony view, clean and nice equipment

wifi too slow

Nice hammock area and rooftop. Friendly staff.

Woke up in the night to a CAT on my pillow. I was in the large 3 bed dorm on ground floor. Window had no mosquito net so I assume thats how the Cat got in. I screamed and woke up the other girl in the room.

really good location. staff are really nice. really clean. but not a place for meet people.

Amazing kitchen with all possible facilities and very spacious, great high level view of the lake. Centric

You could really hear the party music from the party hostel Mr Mullets from 16-22:30 - just be aware of this. Entrance is quite hidden and possibly difficult to find

Great location, rooms are very nice (no bunk beds and only 4 in each!!), Terrific kitchen and overall a good vibe

Very close to Mr mullets so it can get quite noisy, wasn't a problem for me at all but important to know

the staff were amazing and so was was the kitchen! nice roof top too.

so much noise around, but I guess that’s San Pedro’s fault

The hostel does not sell food, but they have a very helpful map that shows you different options around town. The hosts communicates mainly via WhatsApp but responds very quickly. Lastly: very good laundry service!

The beds are small. Rooms are relatively small.
