El Tuco Hostel Reviews

Nice quiet hostel about a 20 minute walk from the Plaza de Armas. Idea for couples, great hot showers and good beds.

It's about a 10-minute easy walk from the center. Great facilities, the room and bathroom was nice, but mostly the staff was great. Coco, the owner/manager, does everything for the guests and does everything he can to make them feel at home. The morning I got there, he offered me breakfast even though it was theoretically not included since I had just arrived. I would certainly stay there again.

Coco was a great host and helped us with taxis and train information.a His being ableto speak and understandEnglish is a great asset, too.

We have never seen a room dirty like that. Rude receptionist said she had no other rooms available, although we know hostel was almost empty. We have booked this room , so we could not leave the hotel and find another one. My wife asked for a vacuum cleaner and had to vacuum the room herself. We had to throw out the blankets out of the room, because they were stinking. Hostel is in a remote area from tourist centre. Surroundings are not nice and do not seem to be safe.

This hostel is great! I enjoyed time there. And the stuff is incredibly helpfull!!

Coco is the host, he speaks very good English if you have problems with Spanish, Also this hostel is very quiet if that is what you need

Coco was incredibly helpful!

The staffs here were very nice and the location was pretty good as well. Ahhh I miss the morning breads they provided. It was sooooo yummy. So overall, I recommend this hostel! :)

Very friendly and helpful staff, great location, less than 10 minutes walk to Plaza de Armas, collectivos leave to Ollantaytambo from 200 hundreds meters from the hostel, there is also a supermarket, clean and spacious rooms, hot shower, good internet. Nora and Gabor from Hungary

My stay in Tuco Hostel en december 2012 was very good. That is the place I want to go back to. Coco is very extravert and good at making us feel at home, with good stories and any kind of help we might need. I chose this hostel from the recomandations at Hostalworld and it helped me a lot to make up my mind. Karin Denmark

we felt like at home. there is no better way of travelling :)

Great location. Farther from the main part of town, but very quiet and an easy walk to anywhere in Cusco. If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay, with nice accommodations this is it. They provide lots of services, and the staff can answer any questions you may have. The only complaint I have is that owner used his own personal "exchange rate" and overcharged me about an extra night's worth in US dollars.
