    Although the location is great, the traffic can be pretty loud.

    The owners are an excellent source of information, very approachable and knowledgeable. The location is good as it is both near the bus station and the port. The bathrooms were very big and clean. The kitchen is nice, and there is a great porch to look out onto the street.

    The upper bunk bed is rickety and not comfortable. They should ensure that the drinking water supply is always available and not let guests run out of it.

    The kitchen and bathroom/toilet are clean and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful. Location is good.

    Best option for overnight (or longer) in Belize City

    • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    Belize isn't cheap, so while this is the best value and most economical option in Belize City, it's still not "cheap". The window has louvers on it which don't shut completely, so you still get road noise and warm air (and possibly mosquitos) coming into the room.

    Friendly staff, fast internet, super comfortable and good location. Yes, there is road noise, but it didn't bother me - I'm quite a heavy sleeper. Belize City has a reputation, but this is probably in the best part of the central city.

    The air conditioners could only be open in limited hours, but fortunately there are also fans in the day time.

    It provides drinking water, and the environment is very clean.

    The only sad note is the City traffic.

    The lodging, central in town is practical to reach to any location and has a well maintained standard by a caring staff. The spacious common room welcomes you with all sufficiency, access to 2 larges tiles bathrooms, good ventilation, a large dining, couches including a well equipped kitchen and porches for extra ventilation. The all staff makes sure the place stays well organized and spotless. The management is attentive to your needs as to adapt and fulfill any request.

    It can get very noisy during the whole night! never stopping traffic, loud and noisy cruising motorbikes and trucks are very common. Also I made the mistake to choose the cheapest room, which doesn't have air conditioning! just pay a bit extra for all other rooms that have it, because you'll need it!

    It's close to shops and food places and markets. The place is very clean and tidy with comfortable chairs, sofa and dinner table. There is big kitchen however the fridge and freezer need to be cleaned and maintained much better.

    Great hostel in a convenient location, and the staff is wonderful! The facilities are very clean, and the other travelers I stayed with were fantastic -- friendly, cool people :) I arrived in the evening and though there is a convenience store downstairs from the hostel, it doesn't serve food, but I got a recommendation from the cashier for a takeout establishment just a couple of minutes walk down the street called the Rice and Beans Center, where the portions are BIG, ans the food was delicious. There are lots of nearby food options that won't disappoint. I shared a 6-bed (3 bunk) room with A/C, which I really welcomed, as it was expectedly hot and humid. There are 2 bathrooms, one of which is an ensuite in one of the shared rooms. My only comment regarding the facilities is that the water pressure was a bit low, both for the toilet and shower. The hostel also provides an airport shuttle for $30 USD and lots of information for transportation for other tours. Thanks for the nice stay at the end of my trip!

    Only thing that I didn't like was that it's quite loud in the dorms, because the hostel is nearby a street crossing. But if you got some earplugs it's okay.

    The owners are really friendly and helpful and got an answer for every question you might have. Enjoyed my stay here

    It needs softening with a bit of decor. The light bulbs are all bright white so it’s very stark. The bunk beds did not have ladders - luckily there were some young ‘uns on the top beds so they coped ok but that would’ve been a disaster for some. Not enough plug sockets. Lamps, sockets and shelves next to the bed would make it 5* It’s very noisy due to the traffic so make sure you have good ear plugs.

    Clean!! Very! As in all feels shiny and new. Kitchen is fabulous. Bathrooms are clean and plentiful. There’s free chilled and filtered water and the chap who runs it is very helpful via WhatsApp, although wasn’t physically around for my check in but we spoke via the Ring Doorbell and that was good enough.

    1) Stairs difficult to carry heavy luggage up. 2) An ill-treated, yelping dog tied behind a house on a neighbouring property, suffering in the pouring rain, not separated by a fence, is a pain to watch. 3) Hot water tepid. 4) Loud sounds from the busy street intersection. 5) I wondered if the property was adequately secured, given the situation in Belize city. 6) Rain came through open windows and messed up a significant part of the wooden floor. 7) Dorms are a little cramped with little space to open luggage, although a huge part of the bathroom space is wasted - a redesign of the space if possible would be great even for the property to optimize usage, as several large open common spaces are unused, but living spaces are cramped.

    1) A helpful young host working super hard, trying earnestly to establish a great travel housing option amid several micro- and macro-level challenges, often overcoming staffing challenges by pitching in themselves. 2) Charming property. 3) Ample kitchen. 4) Hot and cold drinking water kept available for free. 5) Large bed in the dorm. 6) A good location at an important street corner, from where key locations are accessible.

    The AC is only on from 7pm till 7am, but they explained that it is because electricity is so expensive in Belize. There are only two bathrooms.

    The Stuff is super friendly and helpful. I liked that they had a sofa in the common area.

    The building itself is a bit old but it's very clean anyway, I guess it's really good for Belize standards. What I actually disliked is the fact that the windows do not close/isolate at night, there is only the external cover for the light but there is no noise protection, so that the whole night there was extreme noise of the cars passing by (it's on a central big street). I am generally not affected by noise by other guests in hostels so that I don't carry earplugs but in this hostel I think you need earplugs anyway! I hope the window thing can get fixed in the future because otherwise this hostel is so nice and cozy.

     A very cosy hostel, although they say that Belize city is dangerous, the hostel itself provides a sense of security and a cozy feeling. The owner is very nice and helpful. The location is central and you can walk to the port if you take a very to Caye Caulker. Its very clean, you get a free towel, you have socket in every bed. Spacious kitchen and filtered water provided.
