The Hotel El Indio’s concrete and glass façade and tired neon signs do little to tempt tourists. But those who do make it through the front door will be rewarded with a warm welcome from the Otavaleño owners and with spotlessly clean rooms, all with private bathrooms. The decoration is a curious mix of 70s kitsch – think black leather armchairs and bright strip lighting – and Otavaleño, with large, brightly colored murals and wall-hangings. The hotel is in a good location, bang in the center of town and spitting distance from Poncho Plaza. The best room is 403, which boasts a balcony with views over the street and plaza. Things get going early in Otavalo so, if you’re counting on a lie-in, go for a room at the back of the building instead. Do not confuse this place with the more expensive Hotel El Indio Inn, which is run by the same family.
