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.

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

Arrived after 9pm and staff were waiting for me to check in, stayed in a shared dorm and the beds were very comfortable. Complimentary water all around the property so you're never thirsty.
