image image image image I opened my original Hostal 'Casa de la Gringa', in Cusco In 1998. Although it was beautiful, I decided to move to the artistic area of San Blas.

Position is fab, san blas is beautiful, & cusco is lovely - could have easily stayed longer.... The bedrooms get quite cold and if you are a couple try and get a matrimonial room as most double rooms have a mezzanine on which you sleep - not good on the knees fresh from the inca trail! Hostel is very hippy and has many plants and spiritual paintings etc... and miguel/ jack sparrow! is hot!!!

very hot shower, clean toilets, free-fast internet anyway the kiwi room is quite noisy and if you like sleeping in the darkness this is not the room for you. the window is above you and there are no courtains.

Great location in San Blas near to stuff but not too near. Some rooms are noisy but the ones with beds up a ladder are great! Cats in the kitchen is a big turn off for me but if you like cats this is cool. Otherwise a great place to hang out and relax. Expect some faux-hippy conversation at breakfast (about shamens and stones etc - just the usual).

The fruit salad for breakfast was yummy. The blue matrimonial room is lovely but the bed is a bit small and the pillows are tiny. It´s also located right in front of the communal smoking room so can be a bit noisy. Pity no ensuite either.

This is a great place to meet other travelers. The hostel is like an art gallery, unique with a personality. The beds are soft with plenty of blankets for the cool nights. Highly recommended.
