Hostal Suecia I $
( 23-3282;
www.hostalsuecia1.com
; Suecia 332; s/d incl breakfast S60/90; )
Most
rooms in this pint-sized guesthouse are very basic, but location and staff are fabulous and
there's a sociable, stony, indoor courtyard. The two newer doubles on the top floor (311
and 312) are a good value.
HOTEL
Hostal Rojas $$
( 22-8184; Tigre 129; s/d incl breakfast S60/100; )
Very friendly, clean and
stuffed with bric-a-brac, this family-run hostel is notably cheap for solo travelers. A three-
minute walk from the Plaza de Armas.
GUESTHOUSE
Loreto Boutique Hotel $$
( 22-6352;

;
Loreto 115; s/d/tr incl breakfast S199/252/
305)
Maybe you're paying for the plaza location, since 'boutique' is an overstatement
here. Dimly-lit in daytime, Loreto has well-heeled, snug rooms bathed in neutrals. The
best feature are the four rooms with surviving Inca walls.
