2. Posada Juma Ocag (from 175 GTQ / 23.85 USD)
Posada Juma Ocag has a strange name that is actually an amalgam of the names of the owner’s family. This quaint guest house is a good middle ground between hostels and hotels. With rates starting at around 175 GTQ (23.85 USD), you will get a full room with private hot shower, Wi-Fi, and a shared kitchenette. Hot showers are a bit of a luxury in Central America, but beware as most use electric shower heads, which can shock you if you touch them.

The bus terminal is also just down the street so easy for those traveling by bus. Also, by the bus terminal there is a market with endless rows of shops peddling gifts, electronics, and everything you can imagine.
