What you’ll pay for a room in Guatemala will largely depend on which part of the country you’re visiting. In Antigua, Guatemala City, and near Tikal or Lake Atitlan, prices are higher and hotels are often more upscale. However, most accommodations are small to mid-sized; there are very few large-scale hotels in Guatemala. If you’re looking for a good deal, check out the “posadas” – small establishments that are usually family-owned and lovingly tended.
