Managed by US expatriate Bill, this
cool and friendly guest house has been around for some
25 years. Needless to say Bill has built a thorough
know-how regarding traveller needs and wishes: for example,
they prepare lunch bags to-go for their guests' excursions
to Machu Picchu.
Located next to the Plaza de Armas
(on the same side as the church), the 3-story building
is predominantly stone and mahogany wood, which confers
the place a comfortable, cosy atmosphere. Gringo Bill's
Hostal was remodelled in 2004, and now offers accommodation
for 40 travellers in a wide variety of clean and comfortable
rooms (doubles, matrimonial, triple and quadruple),
all of which have good beds.
There is a nice interior patio filled
with native plants, and many balconies with nice views
of the surrounding rainforest. The restaurant is honest.
Probably the best value in town for a mid-range accommodation.
