Chakana House Hostel Reviews

I stayed at Shakana for a couple of days. It is a nice little hostel with clean rooms. I would recommend it for people who are out in the daytime and stay in at night, since you have to be locked out of the front door, and the staff seems to go to bed fairly early. Also the internet connection was all but none functional in my room.

Was so tired when I arrived, great to be welcomed by smiling faces! Thing I liked most was the character, quite traditional with cute decor. Nice place to relax and a brilliant location - just around the corner from the main square and close to St Pedro market . Bed was comfy and hot showers! plenty of hot water. Oh yes and you can leave your luggage for a few days, free of charge - better than trekking it up Machu Picchu!

This is a review for a room with the shared bathroom. The room was freezing cold and there were cracks around the door. There was a radiant heater but it didn't provide any heat to the room unless you were standing directly over it. The shared bathroom was so small you couldn't even turn around in it. I'm 5'2" and my knees hit the door while trying to sit on the toilet. I'm pretty resilient and can withstand most things but I couldn't even stay here. To their credit, they did refund our money.
