We stayed 6 days at Clara's and it was a fabulous experience. The hostel is in a nice little park an easy walk from town. The place is relaxed and friendly with great opportunities for seeing the local archaeology. Clara knows every site in the area and most of the people who dig there or run the sites and museums....

We found this hostal through the website hosteltrail.com. Usually it gives a good choice of great hostels, but in this case we were kind of disappointed. We were welcomed by a pretty confused lady. She didn't really know which rooms were occupied and we needed to follow her through the entire house until she found one that was having a... More

Quiet green location, good beds, hot showers, ecofriendly, long-term friendly, helpful staff, excellent meals, tours & information. Clara always keeps herself busy, either with tours, helping staff, taking guests to market or the beach. On previous visits she arranged a volunteer position for my son, also helping us meet up with family on a cruise ship. They were the first... More

We stayed here for a few night over new year and found the service to be distinctly lacking. We had arranged to be picked up and when our bus arrived a bit late (not uncommon in Peru) there was no one there to meet us so we had to make our own way there. We were offered a choice of... More

Good location in a quiet area near the city center. The owner, Clara, is helpfull and friendly. BUT the administration of the place was pretty chaotic during our stay. A 13-years old girl received us when we arrived, she didnt know about the right prices and others details. You need to ask them every time you want to go out... More

I called Casa de Clara the night before arriving to ask about rooms and prices. Over the phone, Clara said there were rooms for 20, 25 and 30 soles, all of them including breakfast. She also said we could choose which room we wanted. When we arrived there the following morning, we were given a 30-soles room and Clara said... More

One of our highlights of traveling South America, we arrived late which was no problem, we stayed 3 days, and Clara took us out in her classic VW personal tour of the pyramids. Clara knows everything there is to know she is full of amazing knowledge. Our room was huge with private bathroom, there was a great outdoor space for... More

Me and my friend stayed at Casa de Clara for 3 nights in August 2010. The rooms are ok, although ours was not cleaned and there was used underwear lying in the corner. The shower was very good and hot. The owner is very keen on selling you the tours they organize. While these tours may be good, we decided... More

We stayed for a few nights at Casa de Clara. Clara provided us with excellent and interesting tours, made us some delicious meals, and we went out for dinner to a local restaurant one night with her too which was great. The accomodation is basic but fine for what you pay, and we would stay here again for sure.
