Pick the base from your route, then use that town’s guide: this page lists every where-to-stay guide on the site, with a property’s own published rate where one is printed, read 10 November 2026.
In short: Thirteen bases, one line each. The figures are single properties’ own website prices, not town averages and not a ranking. Each town guide compares several properties, with their room types, inclusions and read dates. Rates are written as each property prints them, including its currency sign.

If you are choosing between two bases
Several pages compare bases directly rather than hotels:
- Antigua or Lake Atitlán: the airport distance and how to split a short stay.
- Antigua or Guatemala City: the airport ride against an early flight.
- How many days in Guatemala: which bases fit a given trip length.
