Some of Xela's best-looking rooms are on offer here at this newish little guest house in the heart of downtown. Rooms have shared bathrooms, but are otherwise extremely comfortable, with carpeted floors or wooden floorboards, cable TV and closets. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

There's only a few rooms in this old wooden house, but they're all good value - big and comfortable. The super-friendly family that runs the place can whip you up a Guatemalan meal, or you can use the kitchen. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Most tourist towns in Guatemala have at least one hotel fit for honeymooning couples - a quiet place with romantic atmosphere, beautifully and comfortably outfitted rooms, tranquil gardens and a distinguishing style. In Quetzaltenango, Casa Mañen is it. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Part of Quetzaltenango's new wave of stylish little hotels, this one has a very Antigua feel to it. The whole place is alive with blossoming flowerbeds, set off well by the cheery yellow and ochre colour scheme and the fine, carved darkwood furniture. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

An intimate little place with five good-sized rooms, a big, well-equipped kitchen and a grassy garden area. Discounts for longer stays keep the place filled with long-termers. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Set in a modern building just below the central park, the Centro offers a decent level of comfort and a good location at a reasonable price. If you're not into climbing stairs, though, this may not be the place for you. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Set in a great old building, the Kiktem-Ja is all floorboards at weird angles, and colonial touches. Rooms are spacious, with TV and fireplaces. The hot-water bathrooms don't disappoint. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Built on top of an indoor parking lot, this place is at least trying. It's a mostly modern set-up with a bit of colonial style thrown into the mix. The rooms are big, and accommodate two double beds easily. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

By far the grandest looking hotel in town, the Real Plaza started life as a prison. Looking at the stone archways, high ceilings and spacious rooms, you'd never know. It has a courtyard restaurant, bar and sauna. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

The rooms here are almost too big, and there's plenty of empty floor space, even in the triples. The beds are big and firm, and furnishings are minimal. They do honour the name of the place though, by hanging little angel sculptures around. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

Up a side street next to the park, this one offers neat rooms with carpeted floors. Beds are big and firm - and there's cable TV. This is one of the more refined options for the price - it's clean and quiet, but the lack of windows is a bit of a drawback. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

These basic but comfortable wood and concrete rooms are set around one of the cutest courtyards in Xela. When there's water pressure, the showers in the shared bathrooms rock. Full Lonely Planet Review ›

The oldest and grandest hotel in Xela, this one could try a little harder. What's with the wood-patterned linoleum, for example? Rooms are good otherwise - spacious and comfortable enough, scattered over four floors right next to the Parque Centroamérica. Full Lonely Planet Review ›
