The location is a little tricky to access, my taxi driver had a hard time finding it so needed to call them to get some help. There’s a short walk to the front door but the staff came and helped me, I would still stay here again knowing this, but it is good to be prepared to walk a little for your arrival. Maybe ask them for a little help if you need as they are very helpful!

This hotel is really cute, well kept and in a great location. It’s the cutest part of San Blas so plenty to see in walking distance. The staff were all very helpful and kind, definitely would stay here again!

You will have to walk with your things as there are no cars allowed on the roads. It didn’t bother me as I packed light, but just something to be aware of & also if you are a person that doesn’t want to walk much as you have to walk to get a taxi. I like that part of the area though with just walkers.

Great location & updated bedrooms at a great value. The staff are great at communicating & very helpful. Breakfast was wonderful as well! Great spot for a nice stay.

I found myself at Casa Encuentro San Blas unexpectedly after being unable to reach the owner of the apartment we had initially booked. Luckily, Casa Encuentro San Blas warmly welcomed us just in time, and their exceptional customer service became the highlight of our stay. As a small family business, Casa Encuentro San Blas pays meticulous attention to detail. The owner's husband, who also runs a trekking and climbing business in the area, provided invaluable assistance in managing my altitude sickness. His thorough explanations, drawn from personal experience, along with offerings like coca tea and oxygen, greatly helped to alleviate our discomfort. The location is ideal for those seeking proximity to the city center without sacrificing privacy or style. With surrounding restaurants, coffee shops, and local stores, everything you need is within reach. The proximity to Plaza de San Blas offers opportunities for leisurely strolls, visits to local art galleries, city views, and browsing through the weekend outdoor market. While the cozy room was comfortable and impeccably clean, it lacked natural light and ventilation despite its elevated and picturesque setting. Nonetheless, the queen bed, equipped with all the comforts of a five-star hotel, became my sanctuary during bouts of sickness. I regret missing out on the tailored private city tour offered by the owner, given its excellent value and his extensive knowledge of history, adventure, and attentive care, all delivered in fluent English. However, I look forward to returning one day to join him on one of his trekking tours, in addition to exploring the city further.

The staff at Casa Encuentro helps with everything one needs. They have a great attitude and are polite and friendly and very helpful. The place is clean, comfortable safe and has a great location for travelers wanting to explore Cusco. I am very happy to have chosen this hotel in my stay in Peru.

The walls are quite thin so you easily hear whats going on in the house.

Noeli and Jeguel were vvery friendly and helped us a lot with planing our trips. The room is spacious and has nice furniture. Smart TV with access to Netflix. Breakfast was lovely. Also the nightguard was very warm-hearted. Location is great. Although the place has only been up and running since 5 month, they are doing a great job.

Room wasn't very sound proof - this is very common with hostels in the area though.

Very clean, pictures are accurate, staff was lovely.

Very powerful shower however unfortunately not hot

Lovely modern room with comfortable beds and spotlessly clean. The location is perfect in the San Blas area. We were initially concerned as we had a ground floor room with the window opening into the hallway which in day time can be slightly noisy however lights were turned off at night and there was minimal noise. Really friendly family run hostel - we were also allowed to check out slightly late which was really helpful

Great stay!! Nohely and Yjeguel are amazing hosts. Their hospitality made us feel really comfortable and offered us any possible help with tours and info to get around Cuzco. Yjeguel was our tour guide in an alternative route to Machu Picchu and it was a great experience/trekking when the train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu) was shut down. The hotel is located in a great spot, right next to the beautiful San Blas church, there are plenty of restaurants nearby, and has all the amenities needed to enjoy Cuzco. Definitely stay with them was an amazing experience, and the coca tea was essential to get used to the altitude, especially for my sister ;)

Noeli and her partner are great hosts, always attentive and supportive with us. The breakfast was very good, the bed very comfortable and in a good location in the pretty San Blas neighborhood.

Very small inn in the heights of Cusco (not so easy to reach if you're carrying a lot of luggages), located in the beautiful neighborhood of San Blas. In spite of the location, the place is actually a hostel, with packed room with windows facing the noisy hallway. There's not a proper reception, staff didn't speak English, hot water wasn't stable. Rooms are noisy and it doesn't get dark at night (the hallway lights were on until 2am). In short: the region has plenty of better options within the same price range.

Breakfast was very basic: 1 egg, 1 toast, bowl of fruits, and tea/coffee. We had to queue because the dining room fits only 8 persons. There is no heater on the room. Water is leaking from wastafel, making the bathroom floor wet. Pillows are a bit too hard, uncomfortable to sleep on. With the same price, you can get a better place in Cusco.

Size of the room is comfortable for 3 persons. Wifi is strong.
