Hostal Valle del Amanecer

Otavalo


Very small rooms – couples seeking privacy might want to avoid – surround a welcoming, pebbled courtyard filled with hammocks. There's an on-site restaurant. Bicycle rentals cost $10 per day. While the rooms feel claustrophobic, the courtyard has some lovely coffee plants and avocado trees, and you might spend more time here than in your room. The restaurant is open all day.
