Close to plaza de armas. Decent rooftop terrace. No kitchen. Great service for early check-ins and outs because of early trekking trips.

Nice place with hot showers (only when there's sun), kitchen with fridge & stove, and very cheap paid laundry. We got a room on the top floor which let enjoy the rooftop and the view of the street very easily.

Convenient budget hotel
A budget hotel that offers the very basic needs for a night or two stay. Good location for visiting the central area.
