Budget
La Española
A friendly though dilapidated option in the centre, with free WiFi. Some of the beds are on the hard side. May have mosquitoes, even in the dry season.
Hotel Sagaró
A place that has seen its best day. However, it's very central though the disco on the weekend can be a nuisance get a room on the left.
Hotel Embajador
One of the cheapest options, located right in the centre, room for 30.000 Gs. You can share a room to divide the price.
Try it also in the following streets next to Plaza Uruguay: Mexico, Paraguari and Antequera. July/2010: practically all hotels around the bus terminal are offering basic single rooms for 35.000 Gs.

Midrange
Hotel Palmas del Sol
Popular with groups. Has pool and a feel more appropriate to a seaside hotel. Quiet. Free Internet and WiFi.
Hotel Chaco
A decent hotel in the centre of the city. Built in the 1970s, refurbished recently, clean and in good condition. WiFi internet and above average breakfast included. The manager speaks English.
Hotel Los Alpes - Villa Morra
Great hotel, well-located, and very comfortable.
City Hotel and Restaurant
Reasonably clean, four blocks from the city centre. Free internet and WiFi open signal.
Hotel Los Alpes - Santa Teresa
Owned by the same people who own the Los Alpes in Villa Morra. The Santa Teresa is larger and has better swimming pools. Wi-Fi, breakfast included. This location is better except for the fact that it's harder to catch a bus from here since they don't pass down Santa Teresa..
Top end
Crowne Plaza Asunción
Nice hotel in downtown. Opened in 2005 so it is in very good condition. Good location if you need to be in downtown, but far from offices and attractions in the nicer parts of town. Has a gym, open-air pool, restaurant, and free wifi throughout.
Sheraton Asunción
The newest among the big international chain hotels. Has a gym, sauna, restaurants, pool, and spa services on-site.
Apar-T-otel Porta Westfalica
. Has a gym, open-air pool, sauna, and free wifi throughout.
While a great many hotels exist in Asunción and to find a bed should never be too difficult, decent places in the budget range are rare. The highest concentration of hotels from budget to splurge can be found in the city centre between the streets Cristobal Colon and Estados Unidos. There is also quite a number of cheap places opposite the bus terminal in particular on Lapacho a side street of La Mora, though you get normally better value in the city centre. During off-season you may be quoted discounted prices before even asking for it.
long term
For stays of one month or more, it can make sense to rent an apartment. Although use of the internet for such things is limited in Paraguay, you can find a number of apartments and houses for rent on Clasipar (http://clasipar.paraguay....). The majority of properties are not furnished, and lessors generally seek one-year leases; however, comfortable furnished apartments in the centre can be had for between 1,000,000 and 1,500,000 Gs per month. Make sure you get a receipt for the deposit specifically insist if necessary; claim you won't rent without one or you probably won't get it back.
