Traveler Reviews of Hospedaje El Artesano de San Blas

great hostel

A lovely hostel!  Friendly staff, big rooms, a pretty patio, good location in San Blas, although it's a hike to get up there.  The only down side was occasional problems with the hot water.  But still, we stayed there for 6 nights and had a great time.

Lovely hotel, great value

I really enjoyed my stay at this place, so much so that I used it as my base in Cusco while I was there on my trip, returning after periods spent outside of the city. The owners are friendly and accommodating. They will store your extra luggage for you while you head out on a trek, for no extra charge. One small inconvenience is that there is no road to this place. You do have to walk up quite a steep hill with your stuff. Still, it is worth it when you get there.

great place in the heart of artist neighborhood

This place was wonderful- clean rooms, hot water, beautiful courtyard, very tranquilo atmosphere, and CHEAP. It is perfect for those who want a more authentic Cusco experience, off the gringo trail, and aren't interested in the international hostel vibe. Will stay there again!
