This is the best hostel I have ever stayed at. It really is a home--the staff are wonderful, the living areas are comfortable and warm, it's safe and clean and has a great breakfast and just an amazing vibe. You just have to stay there if you go to Cusco. You won't want to leave. This is the best hostel I have ever stayed at.

A lovley place in the San Blas area. Great vibe, chilled and easy. Stased twice and had a twin room for onetime.Rooms each hace a theme and are decorated in colours according to this.Second room was in a separate part away from the Hostal which didnt have the same charming character but was a bit more private. Hostal also has two great cats! Clean with helpful staff ready and willing to give information. Breakfasts pretty good too with bread jam tea and coffee, & either fresh fruit salad or eggsA lovley place in the San Blas area. Great vibe, chilled and easy.

We stayed in seperate building which was not part of the main hostel which meant we didn't really meet people. Very difficult to get any time on the internet as only one computer which always had ppl on it.

This is a really nice hostel with nice staff. However, there was big money stolen from the safe box and rooms during our stay. The money on the safe box was insured but the one in the room it wasnot. This can happen everywhere just keep in mind to put your valuables in the safe box, which normally is insured.This is a really nice hostel with nice staff.

Solo decir que a falta del agua caliente fue un poco desagradable, pero solucionaron el problema a la brevedad posible. Solo decir que a falta del agua caliente fue un poco desagradable, pero solucionaron el problema a la brevedad posible. ...Close

The staff were great, especially the daytime ladies who helped us book some last minute travel and local tours. The place has some very positive vibes and is comfortable, except for the temperature -- Cusco can get pretty cold in July and I only saw one operational space heater in the whole hostel. If you're a light sleeper I'd recommend looking elsewhere as the front doorbell rings throughout the night and some of the rooms catch ALL of the noise from the courtyard/rooms above.The staff were great, especially the daytime ladies who helped us book some last minute travel and local tours.
