Kasa Kiwi Hostel & Travel Agency features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Quetzaltenango. Providing a bar, the property is located within 400 metres of Quetzaltenango Central Park. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

Tom, the owner, is a great and honest guy who gives you a lot of information and tips. He don't want to sell you tours - he even encourages you to do hikes on your own and supports to connect with others who want to do the same hike. The Deluxe room has all you need and is very spacious. The kitchen is in good condition and clean. Furthermore we liked that the nice rooftop bar is also open to locals so you can connect easily with them - much more interesting as just staying in the "traveller's bubble" like in some other hostels. Thanks for the great time!

Casa Seibel is centrally located in Quetzaltenango and offers two gardens with outdoor furniture, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room and a living room with satellite TV and free Wi-Fi.

The rooms here are individually decorated and include a shared full bathroom with hot water.

I loved everything about Casa Seibel. It's a beautiful old colonial house, with high ceilings, beautiful garden, lovely cozy living room and VERY spacious dorms, with proper single beds (not bunk beds). During the night it's really quiet; I had an excellent sleep every night. The location is just the best one could choose, right next to the traditional market and historical downtown. It's kept super clean. Good kitchen with filtered water. And the staff is extremely nice. I'll be back.

    Loved this hostel, super helpful and friendly staff matched by the guests that stayed there. Was a great place to meet fellow travelers and Spanish students. The kitchen was well-equipped for home meal cooking. The bar upstairs was fun too. Bed was comfy, shower was warm if a little weak. Great location close to the central park with restaurants/cafes etc.

    Great location just a short walk to the park and near plenty of restaurants/bars and market food stalls. The hostel offers trips and shuttles at really good value. We didn't use these facilities but a tour we had already booked was just a fraction of the price at the hostel. The terrace had a beautiful view of the city and the kitchen was out there too which was lovely. You could message the owner for any questions that you had.

    Comfortable bed and warm room (6 bed dorm) compared to others. Nice, friendly and helpful staff. Rooftop bar with a great view but no party hostel. Easy to meet other backpackers.

    The hostel has a great location and atmosphere. I loved their terrace - it's super big, has a great view and i found it the perfect spot to meet both locals and foreigners and socialize. There's also a nice and well equiped kitchen in case you want to cook. I was lucky to be alone in the dorm, which was very confortable, spacious and clean. Would definitely stay again!

    Great hostel in Xela. Nice rooftop terrace and bar with great views and a relaxed atmosphere, with good live music on certain days of the week. Great location in the centre of Xela. Through the hostel, lots of good tours can be organised, for example climbing Santa Maria volcano, or shuttles around the country. Very good value room. The staff were all very friendly, attentive, and helpful, in particular Tom, who was great fun to chat with.

    The owner Tom helped us with a lot of our questions for hiking and helped us arrange a hostel for us in san marcos, he is a travel agency as well but gives you advice how to do things by yourself aswell. great American hospitality. I liked the rooftop with cheap bear and nice snacks. Location is good. Good price quality.
