    it was very unfortunate but it made our travel very difficult, the property is impacted by water quota due to drought in the area. customer service still helped by providing gallons of water bottle, however this impacted the experience greatly.

    the location was easy to reach by walking from the plaza, exceptional customer service, very responsive in person or through WA. the lounge was comfortable as they provide tea and coffee all day and marshmallows at night.

    Probably the best hostel I've been to

    While the breakfast option with unlimited pancakes is great, it can get a bit repetitive if staying more than one or two nights. The toppings are also a bit basic, so maybe rotating the offer every day or two would be helpful. There is also bread available, but only butter, cheese, jam, and lime are included; anything else needs to be paid extra.

    Excellent location and very friendly staff. Our room and the communal areas were very clean and the overall feel is quite cosy. There is a fire set up every evening with an option to make marshmallows, which is a nice touch. The courtyard is amazing, especially on sunny days. There is a hammock to relax in and quite a few tables to sit outside and enjoy. The creperie upstairs is convenient with a beautiful view of the city. It does get very cold at night, but our room had extra blankets that kept us warm. Overall, probably the best hostel I've stayed in.

    that we had to leave eventually.

    Arriving at this place you were welcommed very friendly and immediately felt like home. The rooms are quiet, there are enought shared showers / toilets. Hot water worked great. There are hammocks and chairs/tables to chill out in the garden and there is the fire place inside for cold evenings to warm up and have your marshmallows roasted. There was a water dispenser to refill your waterbottle for free and also there was free hot water and teabags available all day. For breakfast you were served coffee, juice and unlimited Crepes with butter, jam, lime, sugar and cheese as toppings. For a small amount you could add some fruit or other toppings to costomise your crepes. Also there was always bread available for breakfast. Staff was always very friendly and helpful. Location is great offering a lot of restaurants close by. We definitely can recomend this place - we extended our stay a couple of times and also came back again after our trekking.

    Be mindful that if your are a light sleeper you should take ear plugs as it is a social place

    The beds were so comfy! I didn’t get a chance to try the breakfast because I was always out to early.

    We booked two different rooms, One with a bath and another with a shared one. The included bath is very small and the toilet doesn't work very well (at least in our case). I recommend to take the shared one, since these baths are clean and much better.

    Very friendly personal. The tea is for free the whole time, what was really nice, since in Cusco the weather might change pretty fast. Also the breakfast is very delicious.

    The room is pretty small and the bathroom is even smaller, barely fitting one person🙂

    The place is very cozy, perfect for backpackers and for chill people. The staff is super nice and helpful. The breakfast was very good, includes crepes, cheese, jam, butter, coffee and tea. The place offers free tea anytime and a bonfire with marshmallows in the evening. The restaurant upstairs is super nice as well, cheap and offers very tasty food.

    Awesome area, charming hostel, very laid back.

    The room could have been bigger but this was a minor thing. The hostel is VERY boho/hippy/traveller vibe which is cool but the first thing I saw was someone resting their bare feet on the seats where you are to eat in the morning, so if you like 10/10 clean can eat your breakfast of the floor type of place, this isn't for you. So maybe, a no bare feet in the dining room sign would be good.

    The hostel is set in the boho San Blas area that i'd highly recommend staying in. Loads of really nice independent shops, cafes, bars and restaurants that are a little different than the main area, which is a short 5 minute walk but with lots to keep you entertained on that walk. San Blas is also a good starting point for walking up to the top of the city where Cristo Blanco statue overlooks. The hostel is really nice and very chilled, it has a restaurant on the top that serves crepes of any fancy and has lovely garden to relax in. The room we stayed in was very small and had a small on suite, it was however, clean and tidy and we slept well there. You can store your bags here too if you're going on a trip or excursion like the Inca trail (which i'd also highly recommend doing).

    Would be great to have other crepe topping options for vegans :) The bathroom we had was also quite low which meant that it was difficult to shower stood straight!

    The staff are really friendly and happy to accommodate for hikes! The vegan crepes were yummy every morning as well (although it would be great to have something else than just jam). It’s a very calm vibe and amidst this very hilly city it’s really well placed. For Cuzco’s colder nights they also provide hot water bottles which is lovely!

    Private bathroom was incredibly small - room with shared bathroom was nicer and communal bathrooms were always clean and available
