One of the staff Pablo was complete pest constantly trying to sell us stuff and send us to his "friends" businesses and would not take no for an answer... Secondly the drinking water they supply was simply tap water and I didn't realise for the first day and became very... More

It was really well priced, but with the price came a rather nasty place. The bathrooms were disgusting with pee on the floor and waste baskets overflowing. The actual grounds and bathrooms were much nastier than the actual rooms. The guy who was at the front desk was incredibly helpful, and all the staff seemed to be overwhelmingly nice. I... More

The rooftop at this hostel is lovely, but despite being cheap, there are lower-cost rooms to be found elsewhere in Antigua... the bathrooms were always dirty, even when the cleaner had just left! (Bin still full, dirty floor, no toilet paper, and more than once the water supply ground to a halt). The mattress in our private room was more... More

The Ummagummahostel is a very nice place to be. The dorms are quite bonitas and te bar on the roof top is gorgeous!! You can spend chilled evenings with cervezas and Mojitos up there. There is a kitchen you can use and the stuff is friendly.

I stayed about 2 weeks in Umma Gumma. It's a low budget hostel and the audience is mostly young backpackers from all over the world. Beside the dorms there are 2 beautiful rooms with private bathrooms. The other private rooms are a little bit dark, but also okay. The staff is very likeable. The manager is a very laid-back guy,...

Stayed several days in Sept and Oct. This is a budget location but I found all the staff to be wonderful, kind and helpful. This includes Irma, Norma, Fanny, Elida and Jorge as well as others whose names I cannot recall at this moment. Also this is a great place to meet interesting people in the rooftop bar and garden....

The guy at reception was literally rotten drunk - he could not even understand how many people we were checking in, even though we were all standing in front of him, and no matter how many times we repeated how many beds we needed. Later, he proceeded to pass out in the reception area and snored like a beast right... More
