Kantu Hotel
This is essentially a guesthouse. Ask for a quiet room, as many of them open on to the courtyard and you hear everything as people come and go. The washrooms are stinky. The location is great. The roof top is nice. It's a solid cheapish option.

Very charming hotel, room sizes are great for families. They even have a alphaca at the hotel. Downside, there is no air conditioning and some rooms only have sky lights no windows . Location is great for restaurants and site seeing.
