Manso Boutique Hostal

This new place fills a much-needed niche -- a good boutique hotel right on the Malecón. The prize room here has air-conditioning, television, and a balcony overlooking the Malecón and river beyond (though it can be a bit noisy). They also have some shared-bathroom private rooms, and, in the back, two dorm rooms for real budget travelers. The dorm rooms, which are gender specific, actually have private bathrooms. Throughout, the decor is understated and arty, and you'll often find the art and craft works of local artists on display or for sale here. In the hotel's lovely garden is a small restaurant specializing in creative, contemporary cooking that uses local organic ingredients whenever possible.
