    Upstairs, when a guest walks the floor boards were creaking. The windows were left open without curtains. 1 guest left her laptop blaring through out the night while it was bedtime causing distraction. I informed the staff & managed to deal with that problem.

    Maria & the volunteer staff were friendly & helpful. Arrived early & need to wait until they cleaned up the area & sorted the empty beds. The bed was comfortable with clean white beddings with individual curtains. Lockers were provided with keys for free, returned after checked out. Generally, the whole area was clean including the kitchen though I didn’t use it. 2 showers downstairs with hot showers & 2 toilets. Upstairs, a toilet & a shower but no running hot water, was warned by that concern. Good vibes with other guests. Special thanks to Maria who allowed me to use her charger & to Calista for taxi call. Highly recommended.

    Very nice environment, highly amicable hosts, nice vibe all around, met lovely people from many different countries and backgrounds, made new friends. The mattress was super comfortable, nice hot showers, kitchen well equipped. I highly recommend this place to stay. Really good value for money. You can book at the hostel many good tours and packages for visiting mind blowing places, historical & archaeological sites. I would definitely go back several times.

    The only thing... Sometimes there is not enough water to wash your hands. Maybe is a water presion issue while someone is taking a shower.

    The crew are very friendly, kind and they help me a lot with storage my bagpack, tours and any kind of information. The female room is very comfortable. They lend us a locker with the key for free 😁. The location is very good, 15 min or less until the center. The most important, they have a kitchen to cook your food and a fridge!

    The beds are curtained for privacy, but I wish the windows would be too, because it can get bright in the morning when you might want to sleep in a little. You'll have to walk up and down a little hill to get anywhere, but hey, it's good practice for hiking if you're in Cusco. Could use some better sponges in the kitchen for cleaning dishes. There're two people who do a round in a nearby street outside the hostel, one after the other in the evening time, shouting the exact same thing into a megaphone every night like it's a prayer. They're only around for like two minutes each, and it's a really annoying, but what can you do. They're not that loud, they just shout out the same thing every night. It's almost amusing. Almost.

    Nice host/staff, nice atmosphere, curtains, dining/work area, and vibe. The floors and stuff are cleaned all the time, the shower has quick reliable hot water, and the beds look really nice. Relatively quiet part of town, you can get to the expensive part of town in a short walk.

    Location was far away from everything. Nothing around unlike other hostels that were more centrally located to city center. No quiet hours. Woke up to someone blow drying her hair at midnight. Lasted for like an hour. Unfortunately our room was next to the bathroom.

    Comfortable bunk beds. Easy check in. Bathrooms were clean and the hot water and water pressure were great. The breakfast was great - cereal, bread, cheese, meat, olives, butter jam. Very cute and welcoming place.

    There is nothing to complain really.

    The staffs are very friendly and always making sure how it's clean and having a welcome feeling. The bed is very comfortable and big. There is enough storage and they even let my bicycle store for a while when I was going for machupichu and other hikes. Hot shower. It's not noisy place at all.

    It’s cash only, which wasn’t made clear when booking. When we came to pay, they didn’t have any change, and expected us to pay the 84 soles exactly. Just a warning for future travellers.

    Very cosy and welcoming, really nice staff. Room was large with private bathroom.

    Location is a bit of a walk from the main areas to visit in Cusco

    The staff especially Praximedes helped me every step of the way, even with the taxi to and from the airport. I can't thank them enough for making my stay as pleasant as it was for the almost 6 days I was there. Thank you!! The property is very well maintained and regularly cleaned. I also made some a few friends by hanging out in the common areas.

    Slight walk to the centre but the hostel is worth it

    Wonderful place that felt like an airbnb for an incredible price. Fully equiped kitched and a bar connected to the hostel. Everyone was extremely lovely and helpful with booking anything you might want to do in the area.

    Fantastic hostel, close to several bus stations including the colectivo station for Urubamba/Ollantaytambo and the PeruHop bus terminal. Great areas to lounge, privacy curtains on the bunk beds, clean, comfortable mattresses, good WiFi, hot water in the shower, friendly people at reception, and they were even able to store my bags for me. I didn’t have to wake anyone up to leave at 3:00 AM for a rainbow mountain tour, unlike some other hostels that deadbolt the door at night; I had a key that would let me in and out. Everything I could want in a hostel.

    I can't even think of anything. The stay was so short and for the 2 hours that I was awake, everything was amazing!

    I loved the the host was very communicative and fast with accommodating my afternoon booking for an 11 pm check-in time. I also liked that the host made breakfast promptly and helped me get a taxi in the morning.

    Really enjoyed my time here, such a lovely and quiet place, it feels like home, the facilities are very good, hot showers, clean bathrooms and rooms, nice kitchen to use, the beds are so comfy, and they have curtains! Nice and filling breakfast. It’s located 20min from the city center which for me isn’t a problem as I like to walk, but i can definitely see how it might be for others. Thanks for welcoming me.

    It is indeed a bit out of the city centre. Because tours are offered it is not easy to get informed how to visit the places without a tour. Pay attention to the prices because booking shows sometimes lower prices than the effective ones.

    Simple hostel but it has everything. Beds are comfortable. It is out of the city centre (5min walking to the main roads of the centre, 15min to the main square/cathedral). Anyway I felt quite secure to walk alone in the night and in the early morning since there is a military centre just next to the hostel and the streets are controlled. I appreciated that it is possible to use the kitchen and cook dinner. There are a lot of toilets with showers (with hot water also in the night) so you will always find one free. You can book tours at fair prices directly at the hostel and they organise everything for you.
