    The owner is not only beautiful but also super kind and helpful! We booked the tour to Machu Picchu, but because we booked late, we couldn't get a good entry time. The next morning before 6am the owner messaged us saying she found tickets with better time! She even helped us to book online immediately, and when we're back in the afternoon she already got the paper tickets for us! We're very touched! And I think this place is one of the best hostel in Cusco, clean and comfortable beds, hot shower, free breakfast, a well-equipped kitchen, everything you need!

    This is one of the best places I have stayed since being in South America for 6 months. The women who own/run the hostel are such kind and lovely people. We stayed here before doing the Salkantay Trek. They kept our big rucksacks for us while we did that. We then stayed there again for almost a week while we had some things to sort out, and because the place felt like home! The other staff who work there were also really kind, lovely people. It is such good value for money. The place is kept spotless. There are plenty of showers with hot water. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you could need. It is an easy 15 minute walk into Centro Historico. There are big supermarkets a 6 or 7 minute walk away which are cheaper than being in the touristy centre. Do yourselves a favour and stay here!!!!

    The location is a bit far to walk from the city center, so it's not practical if you want to explore Cusco. The toilets and showers placed as separate rooms outside are impractical during the chilly Cusco nights.

    Good place to spend a night or two if you pass through Cusco.

    They say private bathroom but the bathroom is not actually in the room itself its in the common area and you have a key. This is different and misleading on the advertising

    Cheap hostel with a clean room

    Well, there are so many things that can be improved. The big room upstairs was very noisy, especially the floor but also if you get a bed by the outside window you need a sleep mask as the windows do not have curtains or something to block the light and noise out. I woke up by car lights and car noises from outside every night. Also, the toilet settings are a bit weird. You need to undress outside the open air to get into the showers something I found very uncomfortable. Finally, breakfast is basic and simple. Don't get your room with breakfast included it's not worth it.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was good to get to the historic centre. Hot water and shower was great.

    You get what you paid for. So, it was really cold at night in the room, the water was ice cold and the bathroom is shared with other guests. You have to cross an outdoor area to reach the bathroom across from the room. We did not shower there because of how cold it was.

    The place is close to the bus station (6 min by car) where you catch a bus to the train station on your way to Machu Picchu. The staff was really friendly and gave us lots of recommendations.

    Hot water in the shower did not initially work- staff member had to come in while I was in my towel to take the shower head off which someone fixed the problem? Very bizarre. Around a 20 minute walk from the centre, if doing any tours they will likely pick you up from the hostel first so early starts made earlier.

    Staff very helpful sorting out my laundry quickly.

    The rooms were super cold, even colder than it was outside.

    The property is very big and open, so enough space for all the stuff. Location is nice, a little outside but it’s a nice and short walk to the center.

    it’s about a 20 mins walk to the plaza and 30 mins to San blas. it’s also open to the air so it’s cold in the common areas

    this place is a fantastic value. it has a beautiful view over the hills and city. the beds are super comfortable and cozy and there are plenty of bathrooms. the owners are two women and so helpful and nice.
