    Would be nice if there were a fridge for guests to keep food.

    Nice quiet hostel in a good location, safe street close to the main square and market. Comfy beds with a good amount of privacy even in the shared rooms. Friendly and helpful staff, and the hostel also has a tour agency with good prices and a discount for hostel guests.

    Showers are a little old, but of a challenge to get warm water, but not bad considering the price.

    As it is next to the Main Street the noise can be heard in the room facing it.

    The hostel allows us to deposit our luggages while we were away for few days. The staffs and owner were very accommodative and friendly.

    We stayed some nights as backpackers in a shared dorm, before our hike to machu pichu.

    We were at night affected by the traffic on the nearby street, so not soundproof. This hostal had the bare minimum, perfect for people who just want a bed, a shower, some nice tea and meet people. But if you want a more coasy hostal, with art, or a coazy place to read a book/relax other than your bed or the one couch, then other hostels are better.

    Kevin and his colleagues are great, super kind and had plenty of tips for us for cusco. The dorm rooms beds were good. Priceworthy living!

    I wouldn't bother paying for the breakfast.

    Nice private bunks. Nice hot shower. Wifi good. I only stayed one night before going back to Lima. I wish I had have stayed there when I first arrived in Cusco. The price was quite reasonable.

    It can get cold at night, so get some warm pyjama :) There are some rules of the hostel that you need to remember like no guests, reception closed at 22:30 etc., it's not really a disadvantage, but it's specific to this hostel

    The hostel was a clean, basic accommodation. The real deal are amazing owners : Kevin and Shiomara. Kevin, apart from being super nice as a person and leading a charity supporting local population, gives i invaluable information about Cusco. The hostel.owners are also a tour operator - tours are cheap and good quality (5% of the price goes to the charity). I took breakfast - for the price it was a good set. There is tea available all the time. Bagage storage is paid 1 sol which also goes to charity. Kevin is also available during the day on WhatsApp for emergencies, which helped me several times

    The walls are very thin so be prepared to hear everything that's happening in the other rooms and outside. However, after 10:30pm the place is quiet and everyone respects the quiet time.

    The host was absolutely lovely and helpful. He did his best to accommodate all our needs and answered all our questions. Breakfast was nice (bread, butter, jam, fruits, avocado and tea). All showers had hot water and the rooms were nice and warm. Very nice location, close to the local market and 7min walk from plaza de Armas.

    The pillow isn't that soft but its really not a big of a deal and I guess some people would prefer it that way.

    The owner/manager is extremely nice and very welcoming. He has been helping me around all the time and with everything I've asked for with a big smile.. The price is cheap and the location is perfect.

    There is a little noise from the street that is not the hostels fault. This just comes with the location. For me, it didn't bother me, but perhaps a note for others. But the price you pay, you just take it as it is and appreciate what is on offer. Everything from the hostel side was perfect

    Lovely warm place to stay and very clean. I planned 1 night but stayed 5. For the price you pay the value is amazing. Free tea, very hot showers (the best I've had on this trip) friendly staff, good location. I really can't see why anyone can complain about anything in this place. It's a high class budget hostel, not a hotel and barring in mind what you pay, this is a great place to stay.

    It's a very old building so there is lots of noise, including from the street. However, this is just something to note if you're a light sleeper. It's really centrally located so there's not a lot that can be done about this.

    We stayed here for 9 nights following the protests it's great value for money. The atmosphere was really nice and social. There is free tea throughout the day and breakfast included avacado which was great. Depending on which room you have, it's really spacious. When we arrived our room was ready early which was great. The owner Kevin also lets you store your bags if needed. The showers are hot and powerful and the bathrooms are ALWAYS clean. You always saw Kevin cleaning them, several times a day along with the hostel. It was also my partners birthday when we were here and everyone at the hostel helped to make it special. Thanks ☺️
