We tried the first floor cafeteria a few times for lunch and late night drinks and snacks. It is definitely OK, but nothing distinguished as far as the food or drink offerings. However It does attract... More

We were looking for a place for a light lunch and enjoyed the SISA Cafeteria (we had eaten dinner upstairs the night before- very good) and went to the top floor for dessert! Excellent food in all locations!

Sisa has a really nice cafeteria on the first floor with that serves excellent coffee and sandwiches. It is a nice place to get away from the busy streets of Otavalo. It also has very good free wifi. Enjoy

The Hotel Coraza is a deal at $15 per person, private bath, TV, etc., and... More

When you enter SISA, which is right next to the Hotel Coraza on Calle Calderon, straight... More
