  • Hospedaje Hower Ilich, 430 Av. Micaela Bastidas, Pichanaki. (On the plaza.). Large, clean rooms. Big TV's, private bathrooms, no hot water. Some rooms overlook the plaza, the 3rd floor has a better view as the second floors view is obscured by telephone wires, it can be noisy when there's fiestas in the plaza. Doble S/.50.00 (that's a room with two single beds), you'll probably get it for S/.40 if you haggle.
