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!

First hostel-love it. The ladies that assisted us were very, very gracious. The one and only downfall was the heat. We went in June, apparently it’s winter and only had a space heater. Yes At least had one..but had to leave it one continuously to keep the room slightly comfortable after being outside.

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)

Great place to stay

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:-)

Great hostel in San Blas

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.

O quarto estava bem limpinho e arrumado, atendentes muito simpáticas e ajudaram muito. Meu maior problema foi que o quarto era muito gelado. Eu fiz a reserva de um quarto com aquecedor, mas na verdade o quarto não tinha aquecedor. Quando questionei sobre isso na recepção falaram que a dona só disponibiliza aquecedor durante o inverno e que eu teria que pagar 15 soles pelo aquecedor (porém ele é portátil e não pode ficar ligado por muito tempo se não pode queimar). Péssima experiência. De resto a localização é boa e a estrutura do hostel também.
