Hostal "La casona Monsante" — Hotel in Chachapoyas

I chose the hotel for the central location and beautiful colonial style. They were remodelling the salon for events on the 2nd floor during our stay. As the hotel is located in a traffic free street you may have to walk a bit from the drop off point to the hotel, 100 m tops. Not sure but they should have a parking lot nearby. We left the car a couple of days parked on the public street without any problem. Chachapoyas is a safe rural town, with very friendly people every place we went! Comfortable bed with high quality linen, renovated and clean bathrooms with huge showers in room 203 (patio view) and 201 (street view). We paid around USD 70 for a single superior incl breakfast. Quiet location. Wifi a small desaster, only moderate range and low bandwidth internet within 10 ft of the reception desk, but you can live with that if Chachapoyas is on your bucket list.|The only thing that I found lacking was the breakfast. Not much choice, no milk, no cereals, no jam unless we asked for it, and the portions seemed to be somehow limited and well calculated per guest... Personnel was having breakfast in the kitchen while we were having breakfast and had to ask for clean plates. I think I'm starting to nitpick, its not that bad, but you may be more picky than I am. Staff / reception very friendly and helpful. Overall recomendable hotel. Go and have a great coffee, snack, dinner and dessert at Cafe 632 2 blocks up the street from the hotel. The recommended fusion restaurant El batán del tayta close to the hotel was not really of my liking. If you are a foodie have the authentic local kitchen and stick to Lima for your high end fusion. Have...

Stayed for two nights in this historic villa downtown in the pedestrian street, about two blocks from central plaza. ||Our room 202 was upstairs, facing a Bata shoe shop. Nobody there to help you with heavy suitcase. Room very spacious but not well kept: neither the bed lamp nor the sockets next to it worked. ||You have a bar area with fridge on top but nothing in it, a setty facing the wall and two armchairs on a rug. Two spacious beds with new hard mattresses and two layers of spreads, so warm enough as room has neither fan nor heating, forget about aircon. The tiny bathroom has only one central light, a sink with sufficient space to hold your stuff, very modern blow dryer, toilet and shower to climb into without any handles to hold you versus slippery tub. When you shower, you flood the bathroom despite glass to push, and the pipe to extract is not in the lowest place. For lack of mat you use your towels to wipe the floor....||Saturday night was hell- extremely noisy from the pedestrian street. Cannot find sleep before 1 or 2 am.||They say they offer breakfast from 7.30 but by 7.45 there was hot water and thermos coffee, 4 slices of ham , 10 slices of gum like cheese and some boiled eggs. By 8.30 they brought scrambled eggs (looking like prepared the day before and reheated) , two juices, coca leaves, and some Joghurt. Mini Voice, mini portions, tables always laid wrongly, no service at all.||All in: could be a great location, setting impeccable but staff.... do...

Nice hotel in an old Casona (an old colonial building) with an inner patio and a small garden at the back. Rooms are large, a bit cold, because of the huge walls. We had a double room, but actually it was like a duplex with three more single beds on the upper floor. The bathroom was small but newly installed, with a wc, and shower with really hot water. The restaurant serves classical peruvian food. There were no cocktails available because they had no bar tender. They had just reopened the restaurant after the Covid lockdown. Breakfast is rather poor: one egg, some bread with cheese and marmelad, a small juice and coffee or tea. Breakfast is served (no buffet) because of Covid restrictions. Personnel at the reception was kind and helpful (e.g. they readily printed our boarding passes). No elevator to the first floor though. And the street is pedestrian, so you have to walk half a block to get to the hotel. Two blocks from the Main Square. There are some restaurants and coffee bars within two or...
