HI-Inka Pacha Reviews

First of all, make sure that you realize that this hostal is NOT on Copacabana, I made that mistake and ended up having to change my reservation. For some reason, they said we couldnt flush the toilets at this hostel, so we had to use a bucket to flush. Which was strange because other places had functioning toileets. The woman at reception was super nice, but if you want to stay on Isla del Sol just book a hotel once you\'re there. I dont recommend this place.

Beautiful location. Be prepared to walk a long way up the hill after boat. Breakfast cost extra.

Lady didn't even seem to care that I came in...just made me wait to check in until she was ready even though she wasn't doing anything. Breakfast is not included. No character to the place and not friendly staff. Also, bathroom is downstairs away from all the bedrooms and its pitch black at night without any lights to see going down the stairs...also, shower was out of order.

Really not HI standarts.

Our stay at Inka Pacha was very unpleasant. Upon our arrival we were told that our "private three bed ensuit booking" had a shared bathoroom. After many attempts to discuss and come to the best result to everyone, the receptionist (Marcela) became really angry and told us that we had no other choice but to pay the ammount on the voucher - which was for the private bathroom - and share the bathroom with the whole hostel.

Great place, landlady is lovely, hard working and a great cook! The view is just awesome and a very relaxed atmosphere. Hot showers too.

We were asked to change rooms, and then were charged more for the room, after being told the price would be the same. Also, we were charged extra for reserving our room online, and she would not recognise the deposit we paid upon reservation. The owner came into our room several times to tell us to be careful with the beds, the tables, the doors, when we were all just laying in bed. Very strange. Definately not a tipical HI hostel.

Nice hostel, lovely lady taking care of it that never speaks above a whisper, and she likes it to be a QUIET place! The Island of the Sun is a peaceful, quiet place and the hostel is too. Had a lovely time here, GREAT trout dinner, and she gave me lots of info on where to walk and visit. Recommend the hostel, but be aware "we are just at the top of the stairs" is not as easy as it may seem! The stairs nearly killed me (but you have to do them anyway, so not a reason not to stay at this hostel!)

The staff are very friendly,after the long hike uphill in the heat with the rucksck it was nice to be greeted by a smiling happy face!
