The Old House Hostel

Good place, near the town centre. ATM very close by. The owner is a great guy and really friendly. The hostel is strange in that the new bathrooms/showers/toilets are like a 5* hotel, but the rooms are the most basic hostel dorms. The rooms were hot overnight (stayed late July) even with a personal fan, and the ladders up to the beds aren’t super sturdy. No curtains on the bunks either. Really enjoyed my stay here but rooms could do with an upgrade!

The Old House is the most welcoming and warm hostel I have ever stayed at. The rooms are clean, plenty of bathrooms, the road next to it is not very loud, they offer cheap tours and experiences, and the staff give advice as if they were family. Aldo, the owner, is always willing to help you in any matter. As for things to donate to the hostel, you can have movie nights on the terrace, as they have a computer and a projector available. There is also a bar downstairs that opens on Wednesdays and Fridays; they have live music, but don’t worry about noise, they close shop at 11pm sharp.I would definitely recommend Old House to anyone visiting San Ignacio, or even Belize, as the atmosphere there is worth experiencing. Thank you, Aldo, the front desk staff and the rest of the team for making this happen. Also, really close to the city center!

I had a fantastic stay at The Old House! The rooms and common areas were cleaned thoroughly every day, which made for a comfortable experience. I really enjoyed the live music downstairs – it added a great vibe to the place. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a memorable stay!

A really charming little hostel, just a short walk up the hill from the town centre. The two owners/staff were so friendly and Queen the volunteer from Alabama was the perfect hostess! There to entertain all the guests and she even made us all delicious Pina Coladas one afternoon. The Old House itself was nice and clean, with a nice verandah out the back to chill. One thing I would say is there is no air con and for much of the time we stayed it was unbearably hot with no escape from the heat during the day. At night, thankfully, it cooled down so it was fine to sleep in, but with the windows open you do get the odd loud noise from the neighbouring road.

This place is absolutely fantastic! They make you feel so at home there, best experience I've had with a hostel. Aldo the proprietor is one of the most caring and kind individuals I've ever met, can't say enough good things about this place. They even have hot water for showers, this place really appreciates it's guests! Be sure to book in advance as dorm rooms often fill up quick as it's the most desirable hostel to stay at in San Ignacio. Had such a great time here thank you Old House Hostel!

Easy check in, very friendly and welcoming people. They make you feel at home. Wonderful people and an awesome place to stay. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone traveling. You can also see iguanas and geckos from the porch of this place. I love it!! Thank you so much.

A great little hostel that feels like a home away from home. The staff were so lovely and accommodating, especially Ragga and Roach 🧡 Downstairs showers were a dream! Location is also great, there is a slight hill up to the hostel but nothing too strenuous! Will be back when I next visit.

We loved staying at The Old House Hostel. It is our favourite place we have stayed on our entire trip! The staff were the best people and made us feel at home. I highly recommend staying here if you are in San Ignacio
