Had the greatest stay at Chelito’s backpackers. Beautiful husband and wife running, super sweet Downton location near the San Pedro station and market/ in the not so touristy part of town. Loved it and would stay again. Especially in top room with views of street. Helpful kind couple. Cute courtyard to sit in.

Cozy place 10 minutes walk from the main square. Helpful manager, clean facilities.

We stayed in a double room with shared bathroom the first time and a double room with private bathroom when we returned and the room with the private bathroom was more comfortable and warmer than the rooms with the shared bathroom.

Quiet location, the owners are so so lovely!! Even though we don’t speak Spanish we still found a way to communicate and laugh with each other. Facilities are clean with hot showers. We left our stuff here for 1 week while we were hiking, they keep it safe and locked away. They have the cutest dog and a kitten, I loved playing with them.

The showers are very basic. Nowhere to put your soap, towel, or clothes. There is only one toilet. As per other reviews, there isn't always toilet paper. What really annoyed me was the fact that there is no hand washing soap in the toilet.

A place with a family, friendly feeling. My room was nice and quiet.

Everything was great

The hostal is in a lovely quiet area still close to the city centre. It is clean and well equipped with everything you need. The owners Ita and her husband are lovely and accomodating, they helped us with recommendations of things to do in Cusco and even let us store our luggage and also check in late when we got back to Cusco very late after doing the Salkantay trek.

The showers were doing their best (lukewarm at best) and the Wi-Fi in the rooms liked to play hide and seek, but hang out in the common area and you’re golden. Would stay again just for the cat cuddles and the feeling of home. And yes, I miss the cat already.

This place is the perfect stay in Cusco if you’re looking for comfort, character, and a cat with zero boundaries. It’s super affordable, and the owners are so lovely that walking in kind of felt like returning to your parents’ house, if your parents lived in the middle of Cusco’s old town and didn’t judge your travel laundry situation. The location is unbeatable, right in the historical centre, close to all the touristy things you think you’ll do, and safe enough that your only real concern is how many alpaca sweaters you’re going to end up with. The highlight? A chonky little cat that will 100% steal your heart (and maybe your food). It sat on my lap like we’d known each other for years, and honestly, I haven’t felt that emotionally supported since leaving home.

Kitchen was too small to cook anything really

Comfy beds, good showers, the owners were really lovely and kind.

The hosts were real sweethearts, super kind and helpful. The place itself is nice and cosy and a bit more quiet than the places in the city centre.

Kitchen wasn't great for cooking

The owners were so lovely and very kind. Really comfy and clean rooms. Big too. Bathrooms we're good. Location a little out the centre but still good.

Stayed in April 2025

On our last day, unfortunately the water was cut off so we were unable to shower that day. This was something out of their control though.

The location is a short walk into the centre. The property is quiet and peaceful. The room had everything we needed; comfy bed, warm blankets, lamp etc. We rented towels from them. The shower and toilets are communal but kept clean. The man and woman running this are so kind and helpful. They let us check in let and store our baggage whilst we went on the Salkantay trek. The price is really good value considering all of the above.

An amazing place...simple, quiet, tranquilo. It's on a quiet side street, a 5 minute walk to San Pedro market and 15 minutes to Plaza De Las Armas. The hosts, Yta and her husband, are fantastic...super friendly, always ready and happy to help with anything they can: tours, travel advice on local sites, doctor visits, etc., whatever you need, above and beyond the call of duty. Yta is one of the kindest, warmest hearted people you will ever meet, a delightful loving person. They don't speak English but that's easily worked around with Google Translate. Has a small kitchen and a large eating room. I loved it here, in Cusco and at Chelitos Backpacker, and stayed at this hostel for 2 weeks. Highly recommended!❤️
