Detailed Reviews
We paid 120Q for a triple with a private bath and supposedly a hot shower (two spigots, yes, but both equally as cold!). The hostel has a curfew at 1AM and it is nice to see that they stick to the rules, but could have done without the individual banging at the iron gates just below our room beginning at 1:10AM and continuing until 1:45AM. Rules are rules, buddy! Otherwise, a rather dank and dingy room with a view of Ronald McDonald across the way. One of the members of our party, however, was cursed with bedbugs :( The roof terrace provides some nice views and the location between the markets and Parque Central is unbeatable, but otherwise, my recommendation is to keep searching for a more comfortable stay!

I stayed here about 20 years ago.
It's narrow and not beautiful but the location was good and cheap so I stayed for a long time.
I remembered having played classical guitar everyday on the rooftop and enjoyed having a jam session with other musicians.

アンティグアのメルカドの近く、マックの目の前あるホテルです。シングル1泊で40ケツァールと格安なのですが、部屋のクオリティは良くないです。4畳半くらいのスペースに汚いベッドがあるだけでまるで独房のようです。しかも私がとまった部屋にはコ◯ドームが落ちてました・・・トイレとシャワーは共同ですが、やはりどちらも狭くて汚いです。シャワーはちゃんとお湯はでます。WiFiはフロント近くではちゃんと通じます。部屋にはコンセントがないので、フロントや共同スペースに行かないと充電はできません。
とはいえ、ここのホテルは他と比べると格安なので、値段を考えるとこのクオリティは妥当かも？

Por el precio no pedía mucho, lo que no esperaba es que mi amiga y yo sufrieramos de acoso. A LA 1.30 a.m Escuchamos que forcejeaban con nuestra puerta y pensamos que eran sonido de otra habitación, hasta que vimos que alguien jalaba la cortina de la ventana para vernos, mi amiga los enfrentó gritando que eran unos enfermos y que nos dejarán en paz pero el tipo o los tipos siguieron hasta que llamamos a la policía para que nos sacarán por qué no sabíamos que pasaba afuera y nadie llegó aún cuando hicimos ruido para despertar a todos al final al no recibir ayuda de la policía por que no contestaron el teléfono a esa hora o no lo teníamos correcto mi amiga optó por llamar a un conocido de Antigua el quien nos llegó a sacar con la policía por que no podíamos salir de ese lugar y o sorpresa nadie escucho nada ni vio nada. Por ello si eres una chica sola o con amiga no te hospedes en un lugar con ninguna seguridad para ti. El precio no equivale tu seguridad.

consulte el precio antes de hospedarme con mi amiga aquí, fuimos a dejar nuestras mochilas a la habitación y cuando baje para ir por la llave me subieron el precio a 130 quetzales cuando nos cobraron 100 antes de instalarnos, según por los impuestos. Nos hicieron esto con tal de sacarnos del hotel ya que llego una familia y ocupaban las habitaciones y todavía se hicieron los indignados.
Disfrute Guatemala pero esta fue la única mala experiencia del viaje
no lo recomiendo hay mejores opciones pagando un poco mas

We paid 137Q for one night in a private room for two (as I read other reviews now I understand it's a rip-off...)
Anyway. This place is filthy. OK it's a budget friendly option but you'll be surprised how dirty a bathroom can be. The beds are in a very bad shape... The entrance is unclean and the garbage is everywhere. The roof (terrace) is like it's a forgottem place from 90s...
The only good thing was the hot water. But these days you can have hot water in most of the places...
No, I definitely would not go here again and would not recommend it to anyone.

La cama incómoda, clavándose todos los muelles, cucarachas y mosquitos, higiene dudosa. Pero lo más irritante fue que permitieron que un grupo de borrachos montaran una fiesta en la terraza de arriba, no pudimos dormir en toda la noche y tuvimos que salir 3 veces a llamar la atención, el personal no hacía caso.

I have stayed countless times at Posada Refugio because it's cheap and convenient. However, it's not exactly clean at all times and I have seen cockroaches on the walls. There are other places in Antigua with better accomodations for a good price (see the Burkhart).
I wouldn't recommend staying at the Refugio unless you are looking for a really cheap place. Hot water is hit and miss, bedbugs are known to plague people (although I have never had them) and the magagement is curt. If you want to stay out later than 1AM, you have to arrange with someone at the desk and usually have to pay him off with at least 300Q.
If you have a choice, go someplace else.

Lo peor que he visto en mi vida. Cucarachas, suciedad, malos olores, es una pesadilla. El tipo de recepción pedante y arrogante. Los paños y sabanas dan ganas de llorar. Y tras de todo cobran doble en dias santos!!!
