This hostel is a old colonial home, which meant it was nice but freezing. Sometimes I went outside to get warm..and fresh air. We arrived while they were doing construction in the back of the hostel, right where you have to go to shower and use the main bathrooms. It was often dusty and uncomfortable walking to the showers with... More

I moved hostels halfway through my Cusco holiday as this one was cheaper and the reviews seemed good. However I wished I hadn't moved. There were no people staying there so there was no one to talk to - important when on your own, the showers were luke warm at best, and even though there were extra breakfast options to... More

Large hostel with character, in a lovely colonial building. Well-stocked with games, pingpong, billiards, bar, and fast food. Staff was nice and cleaned the bathrooms every couple of hours, which is a big plus with shared dorms/bathrooms. Free wi-fi for updating my travel blog... :P Jesus at the bar was great at serving up my new drink- the obligatory pisco... More

We stayed here before and after our trip to Machu Pichu. Both times it was just ok. The basics are fine, clean enough, beds are fine, staff was a little distant, but ok. Breakfast is on the skimpy side. The building itself was always cold inside, and it was hard to find a place with good internet that wasn't full... More

Our family of four stayed here for 4 nights. They were very friendly and helpful. We also booked our trip to Macchu Picchu through their travel agency. We were very please with the trip and the price. We shared a room with 2 bunk beds which was right across from the bathrooms. The beds were really comfortable. Although it was... More

This hostel was a nice place to stay! Great facilities like a pool table, tv room, bar, different chill-out spots and nice rooms! We ended up staying here for a week because we liked it so much:) staff was really helpful! Breakfast is included, but the bread was a bit dry.. location is great!
