81%The Black Cat Inn

Great breakfasts as noted elsewhere. Attractive place about 10 min walk from the central plaza.

Character well they didn't let me in the door so how good is that for character. They sent me to the black cat hostel which was great but i wasn't given the money i had already deposited. as for security really great because i did show up hung over so they probably that i was a trouble maker.... more Character well they didn't let me in the door so how good is that for character.

Location was still good not to far from the center. Staff i really don't know didn't get a chance to meet them. Fun i can't tell you, but it looked very cleanclose

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOSTEL. I left my passport with reception and when I came to retrieve it the day porter had not left the key for the night porter and I was leaving at 4am. The boss lady whom we had to phone was far from helpful. She then tried to charge me for my accommodation again which I... more DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOSTEL.

This place had an awesome rooftop terrace! And a great breakfast! The room was nice, location was good. Our bathroom had a slight sewage smell but other than that everything was great.

The issue of the hostel of being 4 or 5 blocks away from the center it's nothing for consideration, walking it's just 6 minutes! Very clean place, i'm sure you will no t be dissapointed. And i have to say it again it's a very good breakfast!!!! The best in central america!close

The breakfasts are really really good (more than your usual toast and jam!) and Antigua is tiny so it´s not far at all from the centre and it´s almost better being a bit out from the central square because it´s a lot quieter.close

Really nice hostel, although a little far from the centre of Antigua. Dorms were clean and comfy with an ensuite. Food in the hostel was excellent. Would recomend it if you want a sociable place to stay that is not too noisy.

Really lovely hostel - more of a BB. Breakfast included and literally the best breakfast we had in Central America, amazing breakfast burritos and pancakes served in a little courtyard or on their roof overlooking the volcanoes.

Very relaxing, the people are so nice and there are so many places to sit and be quiet or sit and be social. Plus, the staff is so helpful. It's a bit off Central Park, though, which can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for.

The thing that makes this hostel so great are the people you meet there. It is set up so that it's very easy to meet others. The jewel of the hostel is the roof top terrace with a spectacular view of the city. Every day and night guest venture to the terrace where they are all too eager to share, talk, etc. I met some of the nicest people there and spent time with all of them. Plus, the food is awesome. The staff is awesome. Next time, I may only go to Antigua for my entire vacation. Make sure that if you go to Black Cat Antigua you go the Back Cat Inn. it's nicer than the "hostel" even though both are actually hostels and run by the same owners.close
