    Hot shower for 10 minutes but it’s good enough :) a little bit far from city centre but close to where you can get a bus to start your salkantay trek .

    The host was super super nice ! She provides a lot of informations , and help us to store our bags when we are in the salkantay trek. Rooms are spacious .

    The kitchen was cramped and definitely in need of a revamp. The communal area, like the kitchen just needs an update and some tlc. The outside sink on many occasions did have other people's dirty dishes in there which was left, therefore, we were unable to wash ours, sometimes waiting for the next day to clean them.

    The owner is very helpful and friendly and always there to answer your questions and give advice which was well received. The room we had was very nice, large and comfortable. Shower was good with good pressure as well. Just to be aware, no water in dry season is normal in Cusco and not just in this hostel, so if you want a shower after a certain time just notify the owner and she will gladly put the water on and its a nice hot shower as well.

    - Wifi was poor in the rooms during busy nights, could only access it from the kitchen

    - Owner is very sound and easy going. Allowed us leave our stuff while we were away hiking and when checking out the second time was easy going about check out. - Room was spacious and comfortable with extra blankets available if needed. - Kitchen was decent with enough utencils to make breakfast and dinners - Location was good, about 10min walk to the main plaza, little longer on way back - Shared bathroom wasnt a problem for us. Water was off from about 10am, but the owner had no issue turing it on for 10min to shower outside this hour if needed. Water shortage appears to be a city issue so cant fault the place for that - All in, definetly recommend staying here, we returned for another 4 nights after out 4 day hike as it was ideal and would stay again if back in Cusco

    You need to ask for help to be able to use the hot shower. From 22h till early morning you can't shower and there can be lack of water in the sink/toilets

    Good room, clean and towels provided. The host let us leave the bags for few days while we went to machu Picchu. There is a shared kitchen and shared toilet. Friendly personnel. Very nearby the mercado, bus stops, restaurants and laundry .

    It wouldn’t suit those who want to be right in the middle of town, or a very modern and practical hotel, but if you want great atmosphere and a lovely local host, be sure to visit here!

    Now I’m a bit unusual and I love a characterful, rustic and odd place to stay, and I found that here. Yes it’s a bit far out of town, the hot water is temperamental, the roof leaks and the bathroom needs some love, but the kindness and attentiveness of the host really makes up for this. I felt like I was at home, I loved my creaky floored room, it was quiet at night, great value for money, and Carolina was always ready for a chat and with hot water in a flask for a cup of tea in bed. Ended up extending my stay and would come again!

    It doesn’t have a shared kitchen but that’s the only downside.

    It's quite cold. Every day there's no water for some hours. The kitchen is not very good.

    The location is not right in the center, but you can walk for 10-15 min. Separate room for small money. The owner is very friendly and helps with all the information
