There are no complains, wouldn't change anything to be honest

The best hostel I stayed in Guatemala, hands down. Beds were good, there were only three beds in our room, everything was clean and looked new. There is also a locker for your luggage. San Juan is very small and the location was perfect, right on the main street.

The bathroom was tiny. A bit uncomfortable, not to mention that there's only one for all rooms. There weren't major jams, but I could see it was an issue.

The place was clean, nicely furnished, and equipped. Water filter, fan, towels, and some nice common areas to read and meet other travelers. It is also well located, a block from the church and nearby convenience stores.

The top bunk bed really needs a rail for safety. A light next to the bed would be nice. It’s not very big and no activities so can be hard to meet people if the few others there aren’t social

Loved my stay at Chirris hostel in San Juan. I love that it is women-owned and run and employees are women. It was incredibly clean. The beds were comfy, safe lockers, the kitchen was fully equipped for cooking and the main street is next door so is the market. San Juan is much prettier than San Pedro and much more local it also is quiet agree 5pm do don’t expect parties or late meals out. There are also a lot of stray dogs at night and they bark so earplugs are necessary. But I would definitely stay again.

The staff and this place really are gems. A little sanctuary right in the middle of what is a lovely town

I enjoyed the cleanliness of the place overall. The women who take care of the property were courteous, respectful, and welcoming. Also, it is in a great location, just a few minutes away from the public boats and is surrounded by so much culture and beauty.

Nice and clean Private Room and bathroom. Kitchen was small but good equipped. Bathroom was clean as well. Location was perfect, close to the water and shops. San Juan is nicer and more chill than the backpacker place San Pedro, but still close enough to visit during the day :) Staff was very kind.

Very clean and chill place. The Kitchen is súper equiped and really new.

Because of its central location the noise outside at night was unavoidable!

Location was excellent, right in the heart of San Juan. The hostel was really clean and staff were lovely.

It is on a road and on the Saturday night there was a big party somewhere that kept me awake-although granted not the fault of the hostel! Ear plugs essential.

Lovely small hostel in the heart of San Juan. Andrea and Marta were helpful and friendly and the spaces were always clean. Nice area to chill and meet people by the kitchen. The dorm is actually a 3 bed not a 4 bed and very comfortable.

Only 1 toilet and shower for the whole place but it was never an issue when I was there. Staff aren’t on site 24hours so although you have keys for access, if you need them for something else, you have to message someone or wait til the following morning to speak to someone. Both minor points though.

Friendly and helpful staff advised on things to do & transport options. The place is quite small with limited guests, but cosy and has nice communal areas to relax and hang out. A small and basic but functional kitchen means you can cook meals if you don’t want to eat out. Dorms have blankets or fans depending on temperature. Plenty of sockets to charge things and a big locker to store stuff.

There's no outside area to sit but that is to be expected in this area.

The staff are so friendly and helpful! They made us feel very at home and safe. There is clean drinking water provided and our room was very big. Shower and bathroom were always clean.

One of the best hostel i’ve been, really clean, cosy and very friendly. The owner is really nice. I recommend 100%. If one day I come back in San Juan, I will definitely go back here.

Beautiful and cosy Hostel in San Juan. Can 100% recommend. They have a beautiful terrace and the rooms are very spacious and clean.

The room was kinda hot at night but they brought us a fan on my second night. There’s only one toilet/shower for people staying in the dorm and some of the private’s which is ok but not ideal. The shower is fine but is kinda dark and cramped.

Really great small hostel, very relaxing and good wifi. Perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful spot to rest after exploring all day. Excellent location. Great and helpful staff. I thought the books on the coffee table out front were very interesting. The kitchen is really good and there’s a nice chill area with a couch.

Loved this property so much! The only downside was the street noise - but for the price, staff and location - it cannot be beat.

Very sociable and very clean. We liked it so much we decided to stay one extra night. Owner is absolutely lovely.

The noise of the streets at night, but that comes with having a nice central location and is out of the hostel’s control!

There is not enough words in the English language to describe how incredible Hotel Chirris is and how kind the staff is. My two weeks at Hotel Chirris exceeded every expectation I had. Andrea, the owner, goes above and beyond to attend to every need and had done an amazing job making Hotel Chirris feel like a home. You can feel the love, vision, and passion she has for this place. From the small details like individual hand towels to the larger details like well-equipped common spaces, Andrea has made Hotel Chirris by far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in and I can only see it getting better as it continues to grow. (P.S. I stayed in both the dorm and the private rooms during my trip. Both are incredibly well thought out with outlets near the beds, plenty of storage, and comfortable mattresses.) On top of that, the staff— Elena, Francisca, and especially Marta— made this experience so much better. As a remote worker, I spent a lot of the weekdays working from the hostel (note: there is strong wifi). Throughout the day of working alone, I was able to chat a lot with the staff, and they really became close friends. We shared meals, jokes, and stories, and they are really what made this trip *so* special. Everyone on the Hotel Chirris team is warm, inviting, and will be missed dearly. If you’re wondering if you should stay at Hotel Chirris, the answer is 1000% yes. The hostel draws a quieter crowd who is looking to make connections and have a less touristy experience and a warm place to spend the end of their days, so if that’s what you’re looking for, Hotel Chirris is for you. Muchas gracias a todo el equipo de Chirris— nunca te olvidaré y mi experience en San Juan.
