Whilst here I stayed at Hotel El Mirador, on the corner of Jr. Moquegua and Jr. Centenario, Tel: (043) 451067. The hotel is easy to find hence its name, just look up to your right when coming into town and you'll see the hotel on the hill. This is by far the best option in Pomabamba, despite the steep walk to reach it. The hotel is nicely tiled and exceptionally clean throughout; and boasts twelve modern rooms that offer excellent private bathrooms, hot water, cable with LCD TV's and excellent beds with proper duvet covers. The hotel has been open for sixteen months - but doesn't look or feel it. Why an earth it's not recommended in the latest Lonely Planet handbook published 2010, god only knows. If you ask, they will discount their advertised rates of 35, 50 and 60 soles, for 1 or 2 persons, the latter price with two beds. They do offer one room where only the shower is separate for 30 soles, which I got for 25 soles - which is excellent value. For the standard of rooms on offer I had no complaints with their rates - especially when you see the other options in town.
