A Traveler Run Hostel That Gets It
We're not just hostel owners, we're travelers who've been in your shoes. Before opening Casa Seibel, one of us backpacked the world and the other one Guatemala and all its rural areas. Combined, we stayed in countless hostels. We know what matters: a genuinely warm welcome, a peaceful place to recharge, clean shower and sheets, and unbeatable value for your money.
That's why we've created the best of both worlds: a cozy family home that feels like a sanctuary from the outside chaos, right in the heart of Xela where everything you need is just steps away.
Perfect Downtown Location, Peaceful Atmosphere
Even though we're in the center of Quetzaltenango, our hostel is your quiet refuge. Within a 5 minute walk you'll find:
Central Park & Central Market (authentic local life)
Restaurants, cafes & bars
Supermarkets & shops
Spanish language schools
Public transport to volcanoes, hot springs & Lake Atitlán
Getting here: Just 15 minutes (no rush hours) from Quetzaltenango Airport by car or La Terminal de Buses, easily accessible from the Tapachula/Mexico border crossing.
