Hotel La Hasienda

Kupang


You've got to feel for whoever covered this three-storey, family-run hotel in mosaic tiles. It adds to the Mexican vibe, with a rooftop terrace and bar, faded-ochre walls and cowboy paraphernalia. The 22 rooms are spotless with air-con and hot water and on-site restaurant (mains 25,000Rp to 85,000Rp). Note that it's closer to the airport than town.
