Reviews of Ukukus Hostel

Rony, the owner, and his staff were very helpful. They arranged the Salkantay Trek, Rainbow mountain, Inti Punku and the Sacred Valley tour during our stay at Ukukus. Prices were really fine, just as the (basic) accomodation. Perfect hostel to explore Cusco and around.

Cold in the room

Great outdoor space and staff very attentive

The building needs a little TLC and sheets very thin and a little stained.

Beautiful terrace and kitchen area and great location, wonderful staff, good value

Quite cold

Close to everything tourists needs

Wifi signal is only good at certain areas of the hostel.

My experience was amazing, I love it the place really cool and chill out, perfect to make your stuffs. The staff are really kind and respectful 🙂 and they help and support me all the time in my crazy adventure. I really highly recommend the hostel.

Nice hostel, common places are great. Shower head was not ideal, but not a big problem. They have luggage storage.

On request they gave us a portable heater to use in the room which very effective. We enjoyed the free hot water and tea selection. The wifi was amazing, we got over 100mbps down and up in our room! The staff were all very friendly. We had some trouble organising a refund in Spanish on a website and the receptionist helped us for an hour to solve it and was extremely patient and kind.

The shower temperature only remained constant for a minute or so then became very cold or very hot. The kitchen area surfaces weren’t very clean.

Staff is very friendly. Location is good.

Shower drain is not working well; water is off from time to time.

They organized and coordinated all the tours and the buses. Very helpful. The kitchen is great for cooking our own meals.

You cannot buy a bottle of water at the recepcion.

Mercedes was extremely helpful in every way! Perfect hot showers & lovely beds too.

We stayed in different hostels in Cusco, but this was the best one. Friendly staff, nice rooftop to relax, you can cook dinner, luggage storage, good beds, location to city center is 5-10 minute walk, safe and quiet area.

I do not like it that the clean sheets do not cover the blanket, but you see that a lot in Peru. We stayed in total 4 nights, and most of the time we had warm shower, but not always.

Check in was easy even though the staff member didn't really know how to work with the ATM POS terminal. My room was quite big and had plenty of sunlight. They cleaned it every day during my short stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Good location close to the San Pedro market and San Francisco square. Safe area at night. Good value for money and quiet area. Wifi worked well.

I didn't have water on my last day but apparently it's a common problem in Cusco. Whenever I showered, it leaked on to the floor and created a big slippery puddle.

Lovely little hostel in a nice quiet part of town. I'm an older solo-traveller so was not looking for a party hostel. This place was calm, well put together, and had lovely rooms. After having travelled for several weeks I was also very grateful for the always-hot and powerful shower. Truly a blessing! And the staff were very kind, looking after my bags which I visited Machu Picchu for a couple of days, and arranging an early morning taxi to the airport for me.

The rooms were a little dated, and parts of it hadn't been cleaned particularly well. The blankets on the bed were very stained, but had clearly been washed/pressed so they weren't dirty, just not exactly appealing to sleep with.

The bed is comfortable

The kitchen is a little out of order

A good night sleep on comfortable beds. The staff are really friendly

It’s a bit of a walk to the centre. And this isn’t really a place to meet people as it’s so quiet. The kitchen is very basic and people steal food from the fridge even though it’s labelled

Location - very close to San Pedro square & market Had a hairdryer at reception

Wifi was poor! Kitchen was not very well equipped. Only 3 hobs to cook on so people was waiting to use them. No microwave in the kitchen??? Shower on ground floor not good!

The hostel is located near the market in a less touristy part of town (but be aware it’s a 10-15 min walk to the plaza). The staff were so friendly and helpful. The dorm room was spacious and felt secure. The beds are comfy and for the most part the shower was hot. There is a storage room to leave bags if you’re hiking.

The kitchen is not very well equipped and there is occasionally a water issue. They could also do with restocking toilet paper/soap/matches more often.

The hostel is in a small side street off the main one going to the market. It's a five minute walk (ideal for grabbing a great b'fast or lunch) and it's super quiet, so no traffic or noise can be heard from the room. In fact is fairly quiet. We had a private room so it was a spacious place and the bathroom was also large enough and with hot water. The staff at the reception are very kind and helpful. We loved our stay and would love to be back, as it's super convenient. We didn't use the kitchen or common facilites but it was all spotless and nice.

We really enjoyed our stay there.
