The hostel is located in a busy and loud street, but if you're looking for a cheap place to spend a few nights this is quite ok. Breakfast was good and the room size was fine. The bed was uncomfortable as I could feel the springs poking my ribs but the price was worth the poking. The worst part of my stay is that the main door is kept locked, so if you wanna go out you need to ring a physical bell and wait for staff to come and let you out. This wasn't communicated to me during the check in so the first time I wanted to go out I spent around 10 minutes looking for someone to come open the door.

Lovely place to stay. Walking distance to everything. Rooms were cleaned daily, but be aware that the room doors are left open while cleaning on the floor takes place. Can hear neighborhood dogs barking at night, so if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs. There is a fire place on the second floor that we lit while we played cards.

Lovely place - great location that is both close to everything in the historic area, but also quiet. Hosts are so friendly and helpful. I stayed both before and after doing the Inca Trail and they kept my bag securely for me.

There was an odour from the bathroom from time to time. I suspect it was from the drains. Also, the shower was a little tricky to adjust to a comfortable temperature.

Breakfast was superb and the hotel was within walking distance of all the historic sites.

Cusco.... But that isn't the hotels fault

Owned and run by an adorable family. Although in the centre of town it is set back from the road so is peaceful.

One room has nuisance dogs outside but the rest of the rooms are peaceful.

The genuine hospitality made all the difference... Feels like a home-stay. I've booked to return over Christmas. The minor inconveniences, that some reviews write about, might upset 2-week tourists but the charm of the place makes up for those.

The room was a bit cold but blankets are quite thick.

Almost everything

the staff had to always open the doors for you which could make it inconvenient at times, especially during early morning hours when departing for tours. getting warm water and good water pressure in the shower at the same time was an impossible task.

always very clean, quiet, good wifi, spacious room, friendly staff even though they didn't speak english we understood each other well enough

Felt odd being around a family meal in the main courtyard.Every time you went out staff had to unlock front door.Hostel very safe as was outside area but district not very desirable.

The hostel was quaint. Room very spacious and nice breakfast room.Weve been in 13 diff places in Ecuador & Peru and the breakfast choice does not vary one bit.Staff are nice.

Very loud noise of upstairs guests walking in their room, especially inconvenient when they wake up at 3am to go on tours. And in general lots of noise from the courtyard and neighbour guests

Staff didn't speak English but very helpful, hard working and friendly. Room was clean and spacious. They provide hair dryer when you ask

The shower, I couldn’t understand how to combine hot water and a good flow of water. It was a bit cold also.

The location is perfect, practically in the city center but without suffering the crowd. Very close to San Pedro train station and market. The patio is beautiful, and the staff take care of you.

The hotel is an old heritage colonial house located in the center of the city, providing easy access to local attractions. The rooms are very simple, almost like a monastery, but they are clean and comfortable. The breakfast was decent and provided a good start to the day. The standout feature of this hotel is the fantastic personal service from the staff. The antique religious decorations add a unique and charming touch to the ambiance.

The water was inconsistent, sometimes there was no water for a shower

This is a lovely hostel, the hosts are very helpful and friendly! I liked the location and even though it's a bit of a pain to have the host have to come and unlock the main door, it made me feel very safe.

It was slightly awkward leaving early in the morning to go on trips because we had to wait for someone to unlock the front door.

Very friendly staff. It had a home from home feel.

The shower uses an instant-heater that will require some fine skills in adjusting the water pressure to get the temperature you want. Too little and you can potentially scald yourself, too much and you might freeze.

Amazing staff. Tasty breakfast (with eggs the way you want them). The hostel was out of water on one of the nights (apparently this happens in some sectors of Cusco a lot and is beyond their control), and the lady staff went around to hand a jug and another gallon of water to each room. Comfy room and clean toilet.

Mattresses could be more comfortable.

The staff is very friendly, Rosa and Irene made me feel right at home. The hostel is located in a lively area and close to the center 12 minutes walk to the main square. The coffee at breakfast is delicious. Although located on a main street, the rooms are at the back, where no street noise can reach, it’s very peaceful.

The staff has to unlock the door every time you want to leave or come back, but it worked well for us.
