My solo trip to Casa de la Gringa was the best gift I’ve ever given to myself! The staff was friendly and accommodating, the room was bright, clean, comfortable, and had a lovely loft space perfect for meditating! My fellow guests were wonderful- fellow seekers who became instant friends! I never felt lonely with all of these beautiful souls keeping me company. The hostel is in a great location, with many shops, cafes, and restaurants nearby in the gorgeous and funky San Blas area.
I came for the San Pedro Ceremony, and I am so glad I did. Mark and Chris facilitated, and I felt so cared for and safe. I healed deeply, and the experience was profoundly transformational. Thank you, Lesly and family, for creating this wonderful space! I am forever grateful and shall return. I can not recommend La Casa de la Gringa enough!! Much Love.
The rooms are definitely unique. The staff is friendly and very helpful when my tour did not show up. The location is very good in the middle of things to do but it is a little tricky to find.
Die Zimmer im Casa de la Gringa sind alle sehr schnuckelig und so wie das ganze Casa sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Ich habe mich sehr wohl und sicher gefühlt.
Das Bett war ein Hochbett, sehr charmant mit Oberlicht (einfachst, durchsichtige Wellpappe) und Sprossen zum Hochsteigen, was ich persönlich nur mit Schuhen hinbekomme.
Alles war supersauber. Ich habe die Gemeinschaftsbäder genutzt. Diese waren bei Bedarf immer verfügbar und jederzeit sauber.
Es gab sofort bei Ankunft und überhaupt ständig verfügbar Tee: Kamille, Anis und Koka für die Höhenanpassung.
Der Obstsalat zum Frühstück war sehr lecker.
Was ich persönlich als No-Go empfinde und mir bei der Buchung nicht aufgefallen war: der offene!!! Gemeinschaftsbereich neben dem Frühstücksbereich ist Raucher-Zone. Ich habe die Zigarillos, die sich einige Gäste reingepfiffen haben, schon bei Betreten der Unterkunft bemerkt. Geht gar nicht!
Great location in San Blas
The staff is attentive and the ownership in alignment with purpose.
Love staying here each time I’m in Cusco

Bom, porém necessita melhorar muito
O hostel é muito bom, porém não gostei da forma como me cobraram. Na noite anterior ao check-on uma funcionária me cobrou o valor da hospedagem antes da estadia terminar de um modo constrangedor como se eu fosse sair sem pagar. Além disso, quando estava de saida do hostel o funcionario saiu correndo atras de mim me parando na rua antes de eu entrar no taxi em busca da chave que o mesmo não havia entregado no check-in me deixando constrangida novamente.
Great location near Plaza San Plas, pedestrian only area. Friendly staff and good basic breakfast.
There can be some street noise. The small bathrooms are shared but we'll maintained.
Overall really good atmosphere and value.
In a wonderful area near San Blas church and local mercado, lots of stairs and uphill walking so please be conscious of this if you're traveling with elders and those with altitude sickness. They were able to accommodate us very quickly in the morning before 11am so it was great to checkin early. The staff was very kind and helped out my mom a lot with her altitude sickness pills. Very charming room and cozy beds. Only negative was the bathroom shower, which had very little water pressure. Other than that we enjoyed the breakfast and tea. Great place in a picturesque town.
Home away from home. Very central! Great location! Only complaint was that it was very cold in the rooms and resting areas. For the rest...fantastic!!!
O atendimento e a prontidão dos funcionários foi incrível. Deixamos as bagagens lá para podermos viajar até Machu Picchu e eles cuidaram muito bem e gratuitamente. Bom café da manhã. Uma pequena menção negativa à cama que parecia quebrada e aos lençóis, um pouco manchados (não dava pra saber se estavam sujos). Creio que foi azar e tampouco reclamamos, logo, não era algo muito grave. Recomendo!
