The Cencali boasts an excellent quiet location not far from Parque-Museo La Venta, and 160 good-sized rooms with balconies, bathtubs and, in many cases, views of the Laguna de las Ilusiones.
One kilometer north of the Zona Luz, this business-orientated Best Western hotel has good-sized, well-equipped, modern rooms, most with bathtub.
Comfortable and in the heart of town; ask for a quieter room overlooking the pedestrian streets Aldama or Reforma. Significantly lower rates online.
The top hotel in town has two of the best restaurants: the more formal Bougainvillea (mains M$200 to M$300) and La Ceiba (sandwiches and salads M$40 to M$90, mains M$120 to M$250), which also serves some buffet meals.
An excellent value in a central location, this hotel has clean and pleasant rooms and a homey yellow color scheme.
A no-frills but clean option directly across the street from the ADO bus station. All rooms have ceiling fans, strong air-con and funky triangular window slats. Unless you’re a heavy sleeper, avoid the rooms facing the busy station.
Set on a traffic-free street, the Miraflores provides large, bright rooms with ample bathrooms, telephones, cable TV, tile floors and in some cases balconies. Downstairs is a café, a restaurant and two bars. Not a bad deal.
A slightly shambolic, but acceptable, basic budget hotel, where all the rooms have TV.
The Oriente is a well-run downtown hotel where the comfortable rooms are kept spick-and-span, and the bathrooms even have a little sparkle. All rooms have TV.
The lobby is gloomy, but the rooms are decent enough, and all come with air-con and TV. There's an elevator to the upper floors.
