Several guests mention a fun atmosphere with social activities and communal areas, and some noted a pool on site, though cleanliness and air conditioning drew criticism.

The staff were amazing, they offered so many activities, it had such a relaxed and fun atmosphere, only complaint was the night time security guy was a little uptight. But all in all, an amzing experience, would definitely stay there again, and even i stayed somewhere else id have to stop by to say hi to the staff.

Selina is nice, but there is a clear line between the backpacking traveler and the budget-aware traveler. I think Selina tries to accommodate both but it’s clear it attracts the backpacker more than the budget-aware. The common spaces are cute and quirky, but again it’s quite a young crowd that gathers in the bar in the evenings. I did have a chance to take a yoga class, it’s nice that this is an offering but the outdoor yoga space is right next to the kitchen which is also open air and the people cooking their breakfast were not mindful of their noise and speaking levels at all. Overall it was a decent stay and served its purpose - that being a cost efficient place to stay while we finalized some wedding decisions.

Très bel endroit, surtout pour les jeunes. J'ai dormi dans le dortoir de style tente bedouin, c'était confortable mais plutôt bruyant. Les déjeuners ne sont pas inclus mais y a une grande cuisine commune où on peut laisser notre nourriture étiquetée. L'établissement est situé en plein centre de Antigua, donc facile d'accès pour visiter les alentours.

For the price, this place was great. I got a private room that had the basic amenities, though the shower wasn´t the best. Location is central and close to all activity and shuttle drop offs and pick ups. Their social activities don´t seem to really happen, but I wasn´t there for that so all good. Staff was pleasant and chill.

Our stay was ok, we paid a lot more than the other hostels but don't feel like we got anything more for the value. It's a nice hostel, dude to the rain we couldn't use the pool. The breakfast area stank of booze in the morning which was quite off putting.

States at both Socialtel properties ( Atitlán and Antigua) but the property in Antigua was the worst by far. Staff looked so unhappy I was afraid to ask any questions. The room was dirty and the furniture moths. Very noisy at all times; you could hear people’s steps above you. The towels were old and teared. Don’t stay here; they need major renovations and a change in attitude!

Debido a que sobrevendieron me mandaron a un hotel casi a la par, si se puede llamar hotel, pésimo, era un cuarto donde no pude dormir ya que no tenía aire acondicionado ni ventilador, ademas que por ruido no logré dormir en toda la noche ya que sus huéspedes no pararon de hablar. Muy mala experiencia con Selina. No vuelvo ni lo recomiendo jamás.

I liked the convenient location, however the staff was not welcoming. They seemed indifferent and didn’t seem to care for guests needs. They said they will give welcome drink after arrival at 6 pm but went late by 20 minutes and said it is not available anymore. After arguing with them they finally gave me one. The facilities are ok but the staff needs to be more welcoming.
