    We stayed here over multiple bookings between hiking. Rooms were clean and spacious. One room near the roadside was loud but another at the back of the building was very quiet. Breakfast was simple with bread and eggs or cereal. They offer bag storage for 5soles per item per night.

    Not a super friendly hostel, more kind of a quiet vibe, staff is reserved, gets the job done.

    Nice couches in the hang out areas, clean bathroom, basic but good value for the price. I stayed in a private room. Quiet hostel out of the way of things in an area i liked.

    With the private rooms it’s a bit of a lottery what you get - some are brand new and very big with great WiFi, but we also got a less spacious room with pretty bad WiFi another time we stayed. I’d say it’s worth adding separate categories when booking so you know what you get

    We love this hostel and stayed three separate times. Very good value for money and the private rooms are awesome - spacious, some recently refurbished, modern bathroom etc. Great location in San Blas and generally just a great price for what you get, especially compared to other options in the area

    If you are at the front you can hear the doorbell go off every time someone wants to enter the hostel at night.

    Good location 5/10 mins from the main square. Nice hot shower and comfy beds!

    The breakfast was not so much and also it was a bit confusing (we felt like the staff ignored us when we asked for things, but we also don't speak a lot of spanish). They were baking eggs for us, but we had to do our dishes ourselves. And there was granola but I'm not sure if there was yogurt or something that we could take from the fridge.

    The bed was really nice, we slept really well. The location is good, close to many main attractions and nice restaurants. We did laundry here which was quick and reasonably priced (8 soles per kg)

    It is located several blocks up a long hill with the typical Cisco boulder streets & sidewalk. Not a comfortable walk. The Hostel was a bit overpriced.

    Good hostel in great part of Cusco

    The only issue we had was the first time we stayed a staff took my passport to scan and forgot to give it back, when we realised a few days later they had it stored in the front desk drawer but had not bothered to tell me. I think maybe they should be more careful with passports and communications.

    We stayed here a few times during our time in Peru and it was a good reliable choice. The breakfast is nice and the kitchen facilities are available for the evening as well. We had a few different rooms, some better than others but all were ok. The location is nice, it's in central Cusco but a quiet location and no big hills to walk to reach it! It's a quiet hostel without much social atmosphere but was good for us as a couple. I would recommend it and would stay again.

    Not all rooms are similar. In one of the rooms it was hard to get hot water AND a good stream. It was either stream or cold water :-)

    Windows very thin so do not shut out any nightime noise, ear plugs are a must. Otherwise everything was great!

    Location was fantastic, able to walk everywhere we needed to go in Cusco. Really nice to have a kitchen to use and fridge. Rooms relatively spacious, decent wifi. Amazing value for money. Quiet and chilled vibe.

    We returned here a couple of times during our holiday. We had 3 different private rooms and they were all really good (room number 3, 4, 6). The hostel is very clean and breakfast is basic but good. The hostel is at the end of a dead end road so it's very quiet. If you have a trauma from the traffic in Lima or Arequipa, this is the place to finally get some rest ;)

    The common spaces were not incredible, there was a couch area but it was quite dirty. One night we had two girls watching a movie there late at night with a really high volume and there was no remark made from the staff for them to lower the volume so that other guests could sleep. Even the staff would be listening to things out loud (sometimes more than one thing at the same time) making it a bit distressing to be in the common areas or even the room (where you could still hear it). They also tried to charge us the commission they’re supposed to pay to Booking but then accepted to charge us only what we were actually supposed to pay. Just keep an eye out for that and always check before paying. It has some inconveniences that could happen but overall is a nice option in Cusco.

    The location was nice, it was super easy to reach the centre on foot. The room was big with plenty of space to put our things and they had a heater in the room that we could use (it was an old one, but worked). The kitchen tools were in nice shape.

    A bit chilly throughout the hostel, but at least the bed had plenty of covers

    The 4 bed dorm was clean and quite spacious with an en-suite. The shower was the best I've had all trip - hot and strong. The included breakfast was a bit minimalist, but with fresh made eggs to order.
