Hostels in Cobán

What a fab little hostel in Coban. Lovely and friendly staff (who spoke nice and slow Spanish especially for us!) Helped us organise a shuttle to Antigua and a trip to the very excellent coffee plantation at Chicoj. Our room was comfortable and a good temperature, hot water in the shower and we could use the kitchen to make a coffee in the morning.

We ended up in Coban because of the road blockages. The city itself doesn’t really have anything for tourists. The staff on the hostel were very nice and helpful, the situation was of course not ideal, but they called around, talked to us, and was overall really nice.

Comfty bed, great location

the staff were excellent. super friendly, incredibly helpful with information including telling us where to go to see a Quetzal! Luis tried some English with us, and everyone was very patient with our mediocre Spanish. the hotel is under construction now, but it wasn’t bothersome. it’s already very nice and I think it’ll become a must visit hostel once they finish putting it together. the breakfast was some of the best I’ve had.

This cute hostel is in a great location half a block away from the center without it being loud, with a supermarket, great café, and fast food restaurants within walking distance. While my private room was a bit on the smaller side, it is great for a solo traveler and it has a VERY comfortable bed and access to a terrace with a chair and table to watch the sunset. Luis is awesome, very friendly and had great recommendations for restaurants.
