An excellent alternative guesthouse run by Dominican nuns on the grounds of the busy Colegio Martín de Porres. This place is clean, safe and friendly, and overlooks frequent volleyball matches on the courtyard. Simple, spotless rooms with heat are arranged off a long, sunny hallway. Two people will pay more for twin beds than one bed. Continental breakfast.
