    Slight walk to the centre but the hostel is worth it

    Wonderful place that felt like an airbnb for an incredible price. Fully equiped kitched and a bar connected to the hostel. Everyone was extremely lovely and helpful with booking anything you might want to do in the area.

    Fantastic hostel, close to several bus stations including the colectivo station for Urubamba/Ollantaytambo and the PeruHop bus terminal. Great areas to lounge, privacy curtains on the bunk beds, clean, comfortable mattresses, good WiFi, hot water in the shower, friendly people at reception, and they were even able to store my bags for me. I didn’t have to wake anyone up to leave at 3:00 AM for a rainbow mountain tour, unlike some other hostels that deadbolt the door at night; I had a key that would let me in and out. Everything I could want in a hostel.

    I can't even think of anything. The stay was so short and for the 2 hours that I was awake, everything was amazing!

    I loved the the host was very communicative and fast with accommodating my afternoon booking for an 11 pm check-in time. I also liked that the host made breakfast promptly and helped me get a taxi in the morning.

    Really enjoyed my time here, such a lovely and quiet place, it feels like home, the facilities are very good, hot showers, clean bathrooms and rooms, nice kitchen to use, the beds are so comfy, and they have curtains! Nice and filling breakfast. It’s located 20min from the city center which for me isn’t a problem as I like to walk, but i can definitely see how it might be for others. Thanks for welcoming me.

    It is indeed a bit out of the city centre. Because tours are offered it is not easy to get informed how to visit the places without a tour. Pay attention to the prices because booking shows sometimes lower prices than the effective ones.

    Simple hostel but it has everything. Beds are comfortable. It is out of the city centre (5min walking to the main roads of the centre, 15min to the main square/cathedral). Anyway I felt quite secure to walk alone in the night and in the early morning since there is a military centre just next to the hostel and the streets are controlled. I appreciated that it is possible to use the kitchen and cook dinner. There are a lot of toilets with showers (with hot water also in the night) so you will always find one free. You can book tours at fair prices directly at the hostel and they organise everything for you.

    Apart from just being a lovely place to stay, Praxi (apologies for the spelling?) was and exceptional host and amazingly patient about explaining what I needed to do regarding tours. Something I'd never come across before is curtains around bunks. Genius idea! In short, it was so nice I stayed longer than planned.

    It wasn't super clean. I found hair on the pillow case and also in the bathroom. For the rest it was good.

    Hostel staff super nice, they accommodated us with all our needs; we had clothes that needed washing, they managed to find us a laundry that washed them and returned them in few hours.

    I star my travel to Cusco with no informetion adout the city but whene i arrived there and ask for help everyone star to help me to organize my trip. Everything that they suggested to me was amazing and the room at the end of the day was a super comfortable place . The people who work there are very friendly and have made a very nice place.It is a hostel that if I were to travel to Cusco again I would definitely prefer it.

    It was a little bit difficult for the taxi driver, from the airport, to find the hostel.

    Praxi, the manager, is very welcoming and friendly. The beds are really comfy and the hostel is spotlessly clean. It's in a quiet part of Cusco, just a 5 minute walk, across Puente Grau, into the city centre. Each room has an allocated (lockable) bathroom. Nice chill-out area.

    The only thing a bit less comfortable is the shower. There are very small so its hard to not get your stuffs wet when you shower. But that is a detail, great place overall !

    I loved this place ! The womens working there made me feel at home, my stay was very comfortable ! The beds are great, with light, electric socket and curtains. Great value for the money !

    The space. Toilets, showers, they are realy tight, rooms have enough space, “living room” doesn’t has much space too.

    The view is really nice, it was clean, cosy, quite quiet, breakfast was not so bad, but for me, it was weak, I mean not very filling, but I eat a lot so this one is on me. Location at that time was perfect for me, because next day I had to go to Terminal Terrestre, which is not very far away. But it is a bit away from centre, maybe like 1.5 km, so if you want to get to centre you need to walk a little, but for me it was really fine.
