Hostal Kirckir

Breakfast was ok. They told us they could make it sooner if we had early tours, but they were always late...

The staff was terrible. We arrived at the hostal and when they knew that we came from Bolivia treated us really bad, made us put all our belongings in the sun for hours to “kill the vermin we brought from Bolivia” and we didn’t have one single sting. Also you have to pay an extra fee to make the payment by credit card which is illegal. San Pedro is not a big city but the hostal is “far away” from the main streets.

The staff at Kirckir were so friendly and even though my Spanish is terrible and their English was minimal we still managed to communicate. They were so nice to make sure that everyone in our dorm room was either gone or up before they cleaned our room, making sure not to disturb anyone. There was a water cooler you could fill your water bottles from, you probably go through about 3 litters a day so that was a nice bonus to have instead of buying water all of the time. Free WiFi is always great too.

The property is a little bit more dated and worn than the pictures would make it seem, it’s more like a summer camp feel. Also the girls only dorm room was actually very hot at night with only a small fan mounted in one corner of the room and the windows can’t open (I slept in shorts and a tank top and at times a sheet was too much for me). The girls dorm room also shared a wall with the common sitting and gathering area for the hostel and so at times it could be loud.

The apartment was cute and included water jugs and daily breakfast. The location was decent. There was a great private rooftop patio area with very nice patio furniture!

There is no pool! This unit is not located at Hostal Kirckir, it’s at a separate location across town called Cabañas Kirckir. There is no pool at the Cabañas.

The buffet breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices including delicious pancakes and fried eggs - the highlight of our stay! The room was spacious and clean, equipped with a little fridge. The swimming pool was clean but rather small. The personnel was very nice and helpful. The owner speaks English, otherwise Spanish is required. The hostal is located within 5 minutes walk from the village centre.

The interior is a little worn, some refurbishment is needed.
