    Shared bathroom and no iron.

    The bed was comfortable and it was fairly quiet. It is a great location. The staff was very helpful.

    Not necessarily the hostels fault but some people wouldn’t leave the bathroom the cleanest, maybe cleaning of the bathroom could happen a few times a day to clean up after others that don’t know how or are to lazy to do it themselves.

    The room was comfortable, had a very large smart tv and although it was cold they provide plenty of blankets and you do not feel the cold in bed. The bathroom was cleaned almost every day. The staff were very friendly and always wanted to chat. The location is quiet.

    No towels and there was no toilet paper a few times so had to go to a different floor. Unable to enter the accomodation on your own as have to be let in by reception. Waited at the door for over half an hour when checking in. No one was there when checking out. But very cheap price and good location :)

    Good location! Close, walking distance to central attractions

    The property always is closed which is good for safety but sometimes is annoying to call them every time to be open. Also the breakfast is not good, really poor. And finally the wifi conexion is not good at all

    The location was almost perfect, around 5 min walking of Plaza de armas, really good conexion with all the important places in Cusco.

    They have some water issues in Cusco, so sometimes the hostel doesn’t have enough water for hot showers. As mentioned above, some of the rooms don’t have a window to the outside.

    It’s a basic hostel, some of the rooms don’t have a window to the outside (just the inside stairway, which was not so nice). We stayed here twice though, because it was cheap and the Wifi was working pretty well. On the second stay we got a room on the top floor next to the very small terrace where 2-4 people can sit outside. The kitchen is very well equipped and spacious, that was a big plus!

    We loved our stay here! The only bummer thing is the free breakfast only included coffee and bread. We ended up buying stuff for breakfast and making it ourselves.

    It’s about a 10 minute walk from the plaza, close enough to walk everywhere but far away enough that it’s a quiet hostel. The kitchen was spacious and had everything to make a meal. The staff graciously let us stay in the common room for a couple of hours as we waited for our night bus.

    The front door of the hostel was always locked during day and night so you had to find staff to be able to get out or in which was a little inconvenient. I think guests should have a key. But they did leave a key for us the morning we were leaving at 4am for Salkantay trek which was good so make sure you ask the night before if leaving early so you can get out

    Staff were lovely, hot water, rooms were cosy, free breakfast of bread and tea/coffee, we were able to sheave our bags here while doing Salkantay and on our last day after check out

    The hot water was hit and miss and there is often a bit of noise/light at night from the road and from other guests as the rooms are very close to eachother - for the great price you pay, this is fine though.

    Very affordable for private room with shared bathroom. Friendly staff and great kitchen with tea/coca leaves to help yourself to. Good location close to everything, very safe.

    One of the shared bathrooms doesn’t have a shower curtain, so you can’t really use the shower or the entire bathroom gets wet. That means there is one good shower for the whole hostal. They deadlock the front door at night, so you can’t get out. We had a rainbow mountain tour booked and were supposed to be picked up at 4am, but we couldn’t get out of the hostal. We had to call the number on Booking over and over until someone finally woke up and came and unlocked the door. This also isn’t safe if there is a fire.

    Comfortable rooms, good wifi, great kitchen

    No specific common area so other guests hung around on the chairs outside the rooms and were quite noisy at night.

    Bed was comfy, had a large smart TV which was actually nice as I was having an early night. Location good, close to everything. Shower was hot. Good price

    it was often hard to get to hostel, because the main door was closed and there was no one at the reception (you don't get that keys). when we arrived we waited half an hour ringing the bell and knocking the door, even though our arrival time was confirmed by the owner (and finally hostel guest let us in, the owner was sleeping like a log). the owner charged us additional fee (18%) which i think shouldn't be added

    the room was comfortable, there was always hot water in bathroom. kitchen was well equipped.

    It’s only a small criticism but sometimes there wouldn’t be toilet roll or soap in the bathroom so if that’s just checked more often , that would be great!

    Its really good value! They have comfy beds and we were surprised when we came back to the beds made , they even folded my pjs that were under the pillow which was nice! The location is very good, 7 minute walk from the centre. They also minded our bags while we did Machu Picchu which was very kind.
