( 31-2353;

; Callao 290; s/d incl breakfast S70/
90; )
This rather rambling, oldish hotel isn't flash, but it is presentable, with public
areas decorated with bizarre indigenous art. It has a restaurant and bar and decent-sized,
tiled rooms get the usual midrange facilities. Outside doubles are better as the inside
singles can be very poky.
Hotel La Crillonesa $
( 31-2350; Nazareno 165; s/d S30/40)
A popular and helpful hotel, it offers a rooftop
terrace with photogenic views, a TV room, tour information and 24-hour hot water. Its
rather small, clean rooms have comfy beds and generally functioning cable TV. The best
rooms are right at the top.
HOTEL
La Colmena Hotel $
( 31-1318; Cuzco 140; s/d S40/60)
This popular hotel is often full by early afternoon,
partly because it's one of the longest-standing places in town and partly because it's only
steps from the plaza. It's a great building that has spruced itself up significantly of late. It
also has a locally popular restaurant and an agreeable courtyard.
HOTEL
Hostal Ayacuchano $
( 31-9891; Tres Máscaras 588; s/d S15/30)
Amply sized, inoffensively decorated well-
furnished rooms get cable TV and, in some cases, even balconies. Not all singles have
private bathrooms, but the bathrooms in some of the doubles are the sanitary surprises of
Ayacucho: spacious, with actual baths and hot water to boot.
HOTEL
Hotel Santa María $$
( /fax 31-4988; Arequipa 320; s/d S95/125; )
Of the places opened during the hotel
rush of the late '90s, this one seems to have got it right. It looks impressive from the out-
side and, despite a slightly sterile interior, the rooms are very comfortable, quite spacious
and tastefully decorated.
