The Belcove offers simple rooms, mostly with fans. This isn't the best street in town, but the rooms are better than most of the budget competition - big, clean and well-ventilated. Out the back, there's a lovely communal balcony overlooking the river. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

One of the few mid-range hotels in town with actual sea views, this is a rambling old place with good-size rooms. There are a couple of bars, one of which is out back, next to a decent swimming pool. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

There's a good range of rooms on offer here. The cheapest have their own bathrooms located just down the hall. Beds are firm and there are some good seating areas out the back; they're an ideal set up for groups. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

This is the most impressive of Belize City's seafront hotels. It's set in a gorgeous old Caribbean-style house and there are wonderful views from the wide wooden balconies facing out to sea. Rooms at the front have the best views. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Recently refurbished and bursting with comforts, this big, old, Caribbean-style hotel (curiously named after a river in the Petén region of Guatemala) fills a yawning gap in Belize City's mid-range accommodation scene. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

The Radisson Belize pulls it off again - a big, corporate hotel that's infused with plenty of local charm, character and warmth. In keeping with its seafront location, there's a definite 'marine' theme running through this one. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

A long-time backpackers favourite, the Seaside is set in a wooden Caribbean-style house up on the second floor, so there is plenty of breeze. The rooms aren't huge and the linoleum floors don't add much charm-wise, but the place always attracts an interesting crowd. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

With a tiny deck overlooking the river, this hotel doubles as a gift shop and triples as an Internet cafe. On offer are a good range of basic rooms which are spacious and cheery. Some have private bathrooms. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

In a new-and-improved location, this old favourite still has homey, spacious rooms and a friendly family atmosphere. The sisters keep the bathrooms spotless, the beds are newish and the rooms comfortable. Full Lonely Planet Review ›
