    Great hostel, close to everything and in a quiet area. I was in two different rooms and both were very nice. Super clean, comfy and warm beds, curtains in each bed to keep your privacy. Hot water showers. Amazing staff, always helpful, friendly, lovely and good vibes. You feel like in home. Also great breakfast but if you like to cook the kitchen is complete. I booked with them “ 7 lagoons and Montaña de Colores” beautiful tours , 100% recommended. Thank you so much Xplora, I wish to comeback soon.

    That I had to leave...

    It's a really good place to get rest, to chill out after all the tiredness of the busy days trips in Cusco city and around it. I like the owner, always kind and helpful, sharing info and time with you.

    If someone finishes the hot water then need to wait for the next morning for it.

    It’s quite clean and staff are all really nice. They can help with the tours.

    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.
