Papa Imilla Hostel

Sucre


This backpacker-geared hostel housed in a yellow-walled colonial home with Spanish tile roof has a charming and leafy central patio. Some rooms have odd design features. It's best to choose wooden-floored rooms over the more bedraggled carpeted ones. Kitchen available for guests.
