Rooms

Eleven private rooms in the centre of Pacasmayo

All private, all with hot water around the clock and wifi. The hostel takes up two buildings facing each other on Jirón Junín, 130 metres from the beach: the 1905 house, with high ceilings and the original floor, and the new building across the street.

The courtyard is shared with the restaurant, the café and the art gallery, and you sleep on whichever side you like. Both cost the same.

From S/ 30 per person per night (price of September 2026)

The story of the house

Travellers have been arriving here since 1905

As the family tells it, the house was already running as the Gran Hotel Perú in 1905, in the years of the sugar and cotton port. The name is still carved above the door. Óscar's father bought the building in 1940 and the family never moved out.

The entrance hall, the tiled floors and the four-metre ceilings are the original ones. That is why anyone in Pacasmayo knows the building. Around it: the beach 130 metres away, the main square half a block away, and Café Café, Warique and Puerto Escondido on the same pavement.

Historic house

The house of the old Gran Hotel Perú

This is the historic house, where reception is and where you come in when you arrive. Four-metre ceilings, exposed wood and the original tiled floor. Two rooms have a wooden balcony over the street.

It is the side with the most variety: there are private and shared bathrooms, and it is the only side with the bunk bed room.

On this side: double bed with private bathroom, double bed with shared bathroom, double with bunk beds and the family room.
