Casa Seibel

Very chill place with two big courtyards. Close to everything in central Xela. Easy to get the chicken bus to Zunil around the corner.

Couldn't lock the (private) room door from inside so at night sleep with it unlocked - as a solo female would prefer some way of being able to close esp as the common areas are near to the room.

Nice

A beautiful & tranquil space, mostly respected by the people who use it. Amazing location and with the feeling of walking into the House of the Spirits; it's a place out of time. Every food recommendation from the hostel was 100% perfect - we ate better here than anywhere else in Guatemala. Check out the free walking tour from Quetzaltrekkers - amazing!

Some revolting toe-rag of a "guest" stole our pizza (which we had put there for a last meal before catching a bus the next day) from the freezer (labelled!) and left the empty box behind so we didn't have time to get a replacement. Some seriously skanky backpacker type must have had the midnight munchies, which left us hungry and sad. Staff were unsurprised, so it's obviously not the first time food has been stolen.

Central location, open area to sit outside, living room,clean shared kitchen. Reasonably priced.

I did not find the atmosphere very cheerful/pleasant. Perhaps also because of the weather, it all seemed a bit dark and cold. Anonymous. The room itself was dark and basic, with only tiny Windows that you can not open.
