I think that this is the best on offer in Georgetown, it's okay if you want to spend a night before moving on but i would recommend flying in early to Georgetown then flying straight out to one of the lodges in the rainforest because it is only a one and a half hour flight to the interior. Food and... More

We had been staying with relatives around the corner but conditions were cramped and tempers began to fray so we booked in here for our last 5 nights. Wish we had done it sooner! Wonderful old colonial building with very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant is amazing, like something from the 1960's, and really pretty at night with the... More

A boutique hotel with both excellent service and meals. Older building, but good rooms, with quiet inner courtyard. Professional and friendly staff. More

The lodge is based on a colonial property with attractive whitewashed balconies. We spent three nights here on our travels through Guyana, and it appears to be one of the better options in a relatively unattractive town. Rooms are sizeable, clean and comfortable, the food is good, the beer is cold and the staff helpful - but don't expect lifts... More

Probably still the bet choice in Georgetown. Clean rooms with basic comfort. Nothing special, a little expensive. Service is Guyana style, with a smile. More

I love Guyana, but their hotels have always been a disappointment. Continuing in this tradition (the title name is not a typo) was the Cara Lodge - my choice after going through the reviews on this very site. I just couldn't go back to the Pegasus (ranked #5) after my last stay there (noisy AC, terrible bathroom) so decided to... More

Georgetown lacks hotels in the true sense of the word however there are a number of old gracious homes converted to Estate stays and are best described as Inns and Guest Houses. The Cara is superior amongst such lodgings. A grand old lady in Georgetown with courtyard, friendly staff indeed, one of Geogetown's better restaurants comfortable rooms with AC TV... More

The staff are generally friendly, and the outside of the hotel is beautiful. Inside, it's like a Best Western in decor and furnishings, which is unfortunate, because I had expected something more in keeping with the hotel's and Guyana's rich heritage. A room here should really cost about $70, but my discounted rate was $120. It's not worth that. Also,... More

Sorry, buy this is not a good hotel. My wife and I could not get a good night's sleep because our bed was actually two twin beds pushed together, so there was a terrible gap in the bed. No one notified us before we checked in and we did request a queen bed. So, we decided to go to their... More
