Michelin Guide
"A good choice if you're on a budget, the Platypus gives you value for your money. It's located in the historic La Candelaria district."
Lonely Planet
"The hostel fills three homes with simple, clean rooms. There's a cozy kitchen area, and friendly staff (including Germán) offer great travel info."

Reserve ahead, and if possible, stick to the main building rather than some 14 annexed beds nearby.

Fodor's
"Each suite, named for a famous opera, is unique, with 10-foot ceilings and curtains that cover floor-to-ceiling windows; some even have a fireplace, lit at your request, and a freestanding tub."

"More intimate than the Hotel de la Opera, every piece of woodwork at Orchids has been immaculately restored, and spaces have been updated with contemporary pieces of art. "
