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:-)

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.

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.

Kan anbefales, veldig sentralt og hyggelig

Veldig sentralt og hyggelig hostel. De som jobber der er veldig oppmerksom og sørge for at opphold blir vellykket. Plassering av El Grial er bare helt fantastisk. Jeg var uheldig å blei syk de første dagene og det endte med sykehus opphold, til og med da fikk jeg melding fra hotellet om hvordan det gikk med meg, de bryr seg om gjestene sine. De tilpasse frokost så mann kan ta med seg hvis mann skal på noen utflukter tidligere på dagen og det er alltid Altitude Sickness te tilgjengelig hvis mann ønsker det. San Blas er en av de fineste område i Cusco med både resturanter, barer, markets, daglig varer, laundry og ikke minst nydelig utsikt over cusco fra San Blas Plaza, Kan varmt anbefales å bor på Hostel El Grial :-)

Excellent stay

The room was very clean and well decorated and we always had a cleaning service. They were always ready to help at any hour, even when we had tours very early in the morning. They prepared our lunch box for the day. Nice and quiet neighborhood. I recommend this place 100%!

A Comfortable and Welcoming Option in Old Cusco

The staff are really sweet there and the deal is wonderful for what you get. I thought the place was very comfortable - the beds were nice, the rooms were warm, and the hot water was perfect. The location is a very short walk from Plaza de Armas and surrounded by great restaurants in San Blas. I really couldn't complain at all and would definitely go back on my next trip.

Meu quarto era muito frio, mesmo com aquecedor. E havia uma pequena janela no alto que deixava passar luz do sol logo cedo pela manhã, o que atrapalhou muitíssimo meu sono. O chuveiro apesar de bem quente fica num banheiro muito gelado. Apesar de ter tido um atendimento cortês (a recepcionista me levou no quarto um chá assim que cheguei porque percebeu que eu não estava bem devido a altitude), eu não gostei do hotel e não me hospedaria novamente. Achei também deficiente a limpeza dos quartos em alguns aspectos.

Schöne Unterkunft in guter Lage

Tolle Lage in San Blas in enger Gasse. Knapp 10 Minuten zu Fuss zum Hauptplatz. Kleines, zweckmäßiges Zimmer mit Fenstern im Dach. Alles sehr sauber. Bequemes Bett, heisses Wasser, keine Heizung. Das Zimmer liegt direkt am Treppenaufgang und oberhalb der schönen Patio. Von daher etwas laut. Gutes Frühstück und freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal.
