Casa Seibel, Quetzaltenango

I loved hanging out in the communal kitchen at Casa Seibel. It was such a lively atmosphere, where travelers would gather, share stories, and practice Spanish while cooking meals together. The kitchen was well-maintained and stocked with everything needed to whip up a delicious dish. This communal vibe really made it feel like home.

I had an very nice sleep in the room at Casa Seibel! The beds were comfy with plenty of warm blankets provided, which was perfect as the nights in Xela can get pretty chilly. I appreciated the wooden window shutters that blocked out all light, allowing for a restful night's sleep. It felt cozy and inviting, just like a home away from home.

What a good surprise to find an amazing Asian restaurant right across the street from Casa Seibel! I enjoyed having cheap and healthy meals there and the free drink offer for hostel guests was an added bonus. The portions were generous, and it quickly became a favorite spot for my lunches and dinners.

The showers at Casa Seibel were basic but functional. I had reasonable warm water during my stay, and it was always nice to freshen up after a day of exploring. Although the showers could use a little improvement, it was fine for my needs.
