Question

Just want a cheap, clean, safe place where I can meet other travellers. I'll be travelling alone. Also one that would be able to help me plan futher travel and/or things to see/do in the area.

Answer 1

I can recommend some which are very nice, clean and safe. Antigua is a very safe city allaround:

1. El Hostal: address: 1ra. Avenida Sur No. 1, Antigua Guatemala.



2. El Montañes: address: Calle del Hermano Pedro No. 19-B, Antigua Guatemala.

3. Jungle party hostal: address; 6a Avenida Norte #20,, Entre 3a y 2a calle Poniente, Antigua Guatemala.

You can see them all (with photos and comments) in:

Answer 2

Most people visiting here seem to prefer The Black Cat or Jungle Party - in that order.  There are many many others, but those would be the two I would check first.  I know they both have websites but can not remember them right off hand.  Go to http://www.MyAntiguaOnline.com and look in "Antigua Businesses" The site is still under development but they seem to have alot up allready

Antigua is really nice

Lonely planet guide is OK although some locations on the map are wrong.
