Great hotel, next to the witch market. Do not expect a 5 star hotel with a lot of luxury but it had everything we needed. Good breakfast - great location and you can book your tours at the reception and change currency at the hotel

The owner was great. He had patience with all my questions. One of the family was sick and we could not waken her to unlock the door. Three staff members helped us.

I had a wonderful stay at Hostal Iskanwaya! The morning breakfast was a great way to start each day—simple yet satisfying and thoughtfully prepared. The staff truly made the experience exceptional. Everyone was extremely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything I needed, from local recommendations to directions around the city. The location is also a major highlight—centrally located and within walking distance to great restaurants, shopping spots, and local entertainment. It made exploring the area so convenient. Overall, I highly recommend Hostal Iskanwaya for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-situated place with top-notch hospitality!

Este es un Hostal familiar que yo diría parece más a un Hitel. Está bien ubicado a pasos del Teleferixo. El Staff fue muy amable y el desayuno en la mañana era bien reconfortante. Mi habitación estaba bien limpia y era bien cómoda.

Chambre spacieuse et bien conçue avec une jolie vue sur les télécabines et la ville au dernier étages. L’insonorisation laisse à désirer et les odeurs d’égouts permanentes pourrissent le potentiel de cette chambre. L’eau chaude est toujours compliquée comme la plupart des petits Hostal du genre. Hormis cela le prix est correct pour la chambre. L’emplacement est super à quelques minutes de la rue parapluies et du marché au sorcières.
