You can rent horses from the hostal, or set up a guide to get to the next town. The dinners are also very good, and that is important as I didn't see a restaurant in town.

The Secret Garden, just outside the old town area, is a great place to stay. More for the atmosphere than for the rooms. The dorms are fine, if you can handle a dorm. I can't. Too noisy for me to get any sleep. They have nice single and double rooms, but they are definitely on the high side for accommodation. I paid $7 for a dorm bed, 7 in a room, and a single room was over $20 after taxes. The up side is the great terrace upstairs. Fantastic food and a very good place to meet other travelers. There were also a number of people taking spanish classes at the hostel for around $7 an hour for one on one lessons.
After a few nights staying there, I moved for 2 nights to the Hostal Chicago, just around the corner. I paid $15 (7.50 each) to share a room with another traveler and we had our own bathroom. The place was fine, but it didn't have nearly the vibe that Secret garden had. It worked out great because I would just have dinner at the Secret garden, hang with my new friends, and then sleep down the street.
Also very close to Secret Garden was Hostal San Blas ( Located in Plaza San Blas ) which was a really nice place also. Single room with bath for $7.50, single shared for $5.75, and dorms even cheaper.
All in all, unless you want to get drunk and hang out with other drunk backpackers, I would highly recommend staying in the Old Town area as opposed to the Mariscal (Gringolandia) area. It is safer, cleaner, and has much more character than the newer area.

After stumbling down from our failed attempt on Cotopaxi, Hotel Cuello de Luna was a wonderful, quiet retreat just down the road from the turn-off to Cotopaxi. Check out their website: http://www.cuellodeluna.com/ for all of the logistical details.
It is a mile or so (give or take a mile) off of the Panamerican Hwy but well worth the walk (even with 80 lbs of gear on your back). Kick back, relax, pet the llamas and enjoy the views of the surrounding mountains. It's more of a retreat than a conveniently located place to stay. Take a break from the city and just chill. Take advantage of the meals they cook - excellent and well worth the splurge (coming from an infamous cheapskate).

This is the ONLY place I stay in Otavalo. Features clean rooms, community kitchen, diverse crowd, roof patio, BBQ grill, prvt bathrooms, and the best host ever, Roberto. Rooms are only $5-6 pp. Located in the south end of town, central to everything. Downstairs has a nice reception area and bar. There is a pool/spa/sauna just one block away that none of the touirists know about for $1.50.
Great views of Imbabura and Cotacochi from the patios. Nice friendly atmosphere, guests often eat together and relax with music and drinks afterwards. You can cook in the kitchen, or use the upstair BBQ grill and patio. Close to stores, restaurants, and food market. You can also grab a local buses thru town, the hostel is just 2 blocks off the main bus route. Great view over the entire city.
