Situated in San Juan La Laguna and with Volcano Atitlan reachable within 26 km, El Chirris B&B features a tour desk, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace.

Guests at the hostel can enjoy an à la carte breakfast. The location, a small and intimate hotel, we booked the double room with private bathroom and it was a bit of a luxury in this small hostel. Everything was so clean. The terrace was a lovely place to sit and talk with other travellers. Recommend San Juan if you don’t want the chaos of Pana or the party backpacker scene of San Pedro. A charming town on Lake Atitlan.

Mandalas Hostal is situated in San Pedro La Laguna and has a terrace. Free WiFi is featured.

A kitchen with everything you need and a dining area.

Great view of lake Atitlan and the surrounding mountains and volcanoes! Yes this property is a bit difficult when you arrive to San Pedro, but this is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. Staff are so kind, happy to advise on anything, the whole place was extremely clean during my 4 day stay. Kitchen is very well equipped, they even have a free food section with oats, tea, coffee, honey, pasta, rice, salt and sugar. Wi-Fi works very well and rooftop hangout area is so lovely. The music from Mr Mullets goes on to 11pm but this wasn’t a problem for me, and I couldn’t really hear it from my room anyway.
