Only one block from Parque Central, the Black Cat Inn would please travelers looking for some comfort without spending too much. With a beautiful garden and a large terrace, it’s the perfect place to relax and drink a beer while watching the sunset. The hotel has 8 large and nicely decorated private rooms with bathroom and cable TV, and a 9 bed-dorm. Rate include a huge free breakfast and soon WIFI access. Open until 10 p.m., the bar-restaurant offers international cuisine.

This place opened in March 2006 and it is an old hotel that has been turned into a pristine new hostel. Enter through the nicely decoured bar and out back you will find a huge, but homely, place with dorms to sleep 52, four twins and a single. All rooms have local woven beadspreads and palatial wooden doors. There are plenty of different communal areas, including a movie room, lounge and tree-filled hammock patio. There is a reasonably priced restaurant and the three owners, one local and two English, generate a friendly atmosphere.
