Guiltor host

The hostel is very close to the centre, the ETSA bus terminal, and a few blocks from the Plaza Independence. This family run hostel is still in development, but the finished rooms are lovely. The room had a door to the corridor and another to the shared balcony, where there were chairs and a coffee table. In the bedroom there was a double bed, bedside table on one side and a stool on the other. There was a table and a chair and a unit for storage. There was a light switch next to the bed. The accommodation is entered by a locked metal gate. This opens to a large courtyard, which is where breakfast is served. The entire property is clean, and wifi is excellent throughout. Breakfast is provided. This is exceedingly good. We were offered tea or coffee, freshly made fruit juice, and then a different breakfast meal every day. This was normally a traditional Peruvian breakfast from frIed egg, cheese, advacado, or chicken sandwiches. Eggs, scrambled or frIed, with bread. Humitas and Tamales, as well as traditional vegetables were also cooked for us. We were even given a massive plate of pancakes one morning. If any, there was too much food, we struggled to eat it all. The owners have installed a new kitchen, which is still being stocked with equipment. There is a freezer, a two ring stove top, a sink for washing up, etc. There are plenty of plates, pans and some basic kitchen equipment and cutlery. It was slightly lacking in both kitchen knives and eating knives. However, there was sufficient equipment to cook a meal. The kitchen also has a table and two chairs. There is a large sink area to hand wash clothes and plenty of washing lines. There was a separate bin for food waste to be recycled in the kitchen. But no other recycling facilities. The owners were wonderful. Exceedingly friendly and very generous. When we arrived, we were offered coffee.

The bathroom was exceedingly small, there were only hooks for the towels, which were made from a nylon fabric, so didn't dry very well. There was no mirror for shaving. Hooks in the bedroom would have been useful for wet coats. There wasn't a bin in the bedroom. The Brazilian shower head couldn't quite cope with the water pressure and it wasn't easy to get water above tepid in temperature. It was carnival time so there was a lot of noise, but apart from a local restaurant which had loud music playing during the day, there is only the usual noise you get everywhere in Peru. Payment is in cash and taxes are charged.

The attention from the owners, the location, the room, the view, the price, the breakfast, everything was perfect. Specially the breakfast was great.

Loveliest hosts ever, Guilermore and Lola. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed (with a small plate of dinner even, which they didn't have to, but showed their generosity and kindness!). We were also invited to spend Christmas with them and it was such a great experience. Our room was comfortable and we enjoyed the breakfast that was different everyday!

Kindness of owner. Also we could stay few hours longer after check out

Homely, authentic and handy to everything

We love this hotel! The nicest owners ever! lovely breakfast, every day different, the best hotel breacfast we had in Peru during 2 months traveling! Super clean rooms and and beautiful views from balconies and dining area. Highly recommend. The owner allowed us to check in earlier and check out later due to our BUS time which was super helpful. Socest in every room, entire hotel was recently refurbished so looks very new.

One of the best accomodations in south america so far. The breakfast was prepared with lots of love and we got served something different every morning. The bed was so comfortable and everything was very clean. We even got a balcony with view over the city. When we arrived at 07:00 am we could check in directly and even got breakfast. Its a 10min walk to the main plaza

Mr Guillermo and Ms Lola became our Chachapoyas family! We felt so welcome in their home, eating delicious food from Lola and exploring the region with Guillermo! They went above and beyond to make our stay here memorable.
