Hostel Mallqui is walking distance to Plaza de Armas and many attractions, shops and restaurants. The staff is extremely helpful and will arrange tours, call taxis, make phone calls for you, and make sure you are happy with your accommodations. The private rooms are clean and pleasant, tho not luxurious, and the private rooms in the back are very quiet. Bottled water, soda and beer are available in the lobby. Travel guides are on loan, there's a book exchange and lots of dvds, also in the lobby.
