Great hostel - very convenient to the market and to Central Park. The owner, Irma, is very helpful with arranging shuttles and she goes out of her way to make you feel at home. I got sick from food I ate out one night, and she checked on me, brought me a blanket, and asked around about medicine. It was nice to have someone motherly when I felt so bad in a foreign country. Great value for the money.

Staying at Los Encuentros was a great experience; a very welcoming and comfortable place. The owners were extremely helpful and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.

Los Encuentros is a great place to stay. Simplythe best in Guatemalan hospitality. You arrive a guest and leave as a friend. Thanks Irma, Salvador, and Alan. We will see you next time we are in town.

Great location, great breakfast, hot water, and Irma was fantastic. What more can you ask for?

Irma is the best! She takes care of you; she is always lovely and helpful. I took the single room which was quite expensive but it had a TV in it (with few English channels).

Great guesthouse, and Irma y Salvador will take care of you! Definitely returning in the winter.

Good overall hostel. Awesome staff, very quiet, fairly clean, has hot water, good breakfast. About average distance from the center of town. Not many people hang around the hostel, so if you are looking to meet other travelers, this probably isn't the place for you.

The couple who run this place are very sweet. They'll go out of their way to help you. Ask them about shuttles to the airport and such. They have a reliable shuttle service.
