We stayed here both before and after our trek, and it was a wonderful experience. The hotel is very charming, with clean rooms and bathrooms. When we had to leave early and couldn’t stay for breakfast, the staff kindly packed it to go. We were very satisfied and would gladly return
This was a clean, affordable hotel in San Blas. The staff were friendly and nice, bed was comfortable. Location is good.
Breakfast was disappointing. The cheese had dried out edges, the bread was strangely gritty, the coffee was thick and muddy.
But I did enjoy my stay here, other than that, and the price was really good.
Small Hostal with few rooms very quiet. Charming inner space together with breakfast area. Good location in San Blas barrio. Very clean, staff extra nice.
Staff was very helpful with providing a packed lunch if you have an early departure. It's a great budget hotel option in Cusco. The showers are hot and the rooms are clean. You do need to buy your own water.
Very nice people that run the place. Very good location and I canvass enough about the staff. They were super nice. They gave me cocoa tea as soon as I arrived. Very accommodating. Only thing I would change is bring a fan or ask for one. No windows so room can get stale, but not a huge deal. Sometimes people make up for some amenities. I enjoyed the stay!
Great location, clean and well maintained property. Hotel staff was very helpful providing delicious made to order breakfast and provided to-go lunch as needed.
Great place to stay in San Blas. The staff were wonderful and made me feel taken care of. The location was excellent, close to restaurants and shopping. Only an 8 minute walk to Plaza de Armas.
The hotel is very good value. It is a short walk to everything you need. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was hot with good pressure. Breakfast was good. Scrambled eggs, toast, avocado and fruit. There was also some cereal and yogurt available.
For a hostel, this place is awesome. Great hot water showers, nice beds with good bedding, a lamp, and they packed our breakfast for us to go at 4am. Would definitely recomend, also in the cool part of town
Excellent value and location. Rooms were clean and a bit loud but no complaints at all.
Breakfast was delicious and we loved the small feel. They let us leave our luggage when we went to Machu Picchu and even put in our room when we got back!
Great location near Plaza de Armas and had everything I needed during my stay. The staff was lovely and took great care of everything. Would definitely return/recommend!
Great little boutique hotel in the perfect location.
It’s an old building so has it’s quirks. For example if you’re on the ground floor, you’ll hear the floorboards squeaking every time someone in the room above moves.
Breakfast was similar to most places in Peru - bread, ham, cheese, fruit and eggs made to order.
Bed was comfy and shower was hot and powerful.
Overall very good for the low price I paid.
Staff were helpful, some didn’t speak great English but they were all very willing to help.
(Photo from first room I stayed in - double bed, single occupancy)
Very clean and safe. Good value. Easy walk to all the main areas, but away from the noise. The staff were very friendly and helpful, including getting up VERY early to provide me a bag breakfast for my Inca Trail and Machu Michu Picchu Trek.
This is the second time staying at this hostel and i can again say i can really recommend it. What makes it so special is both the location and 2 of the staff Jackie and Nelly, they really go out of their way to make you feel welcome, always a kind greeting on how your day has been and always «how Are you today» not all Hotels Are lucky enough to have staff that care about their guests as these 2 do, so Thankyou for making my stay again enjoyable. Both San Blas area and Cusco are so beautiful that the 3 weeks i spent here went so fast:-(
Muchos Gracias El Grial and especially to Jackie and Nelly, i will miss your smiling faces:-)
This is a great little hostel with mostly older adults (meaning it is NOT a party place. It is in the San Blas barrio mostly away from the noise and ubiquitous hawkers that plague the Plaza de las Armas. Good variety of restaurants near by with a nice little bar up from the Plaza San Blas called Km.O. Nighly live music of uneven quality. Older crowd. Smitty at the front door is funny and can direct you the sister restaurant that has excellent food.I recommend asking for an upstairs room because when I was in 101, I could hear every creaky step of those above. Staff generally is great and the breakfast is just ok. Eggs come with breakfast regardless of whether the staff offers them or not. I would stay here again for the location, charm of the street and the hostal, and the clean rooms. Not the cheapest hostal though.
Staff was very helpful and friendly, it's not a 5 stars hotel but it has everything you need for a good night sleep.
It's very convenient close to the plaza de las armas.
