Nice and very helpful staff. It is a little bit far from the city centre (15 mins walk), but it may be better location when you need to rest to acclimatise yourself rather than hectic town centre hotels. Highly reccommended.

Don't be fooled by the scary-looking door. This place is nice on the inside and our beds were comfy. It's a full ten-minute walk from town, though, and I didn't feel totally safe outside after dark (which was around 8:00 pm).Don't be fooled by the scary-looking door.

Just out of the way far enough to be nice and quiet, yet easy to access. Ended up with two private rooms with private bathrooms and hallway. Vaulted ceilings and wood floors in a hostel? Javier is also very good-- the staff helped out tremendously. AWESOME PLACE!!Just out of the way far enough to be nice and quiet, yet easy to access.

i was very at home at hospedaje.i suffered altitude sickness and the beautiful lady (i failed to ask her name) offered me tea to combat my illness.everyone there was so nice, they all made you feel you were at home, away from home. they helped in every task i needed to do, from the machu picchu tours to even getting a taxi. i would very highly recommend that travellers book at hospedaje turistico de recoleta under the most competent management of Senor Javier Marroquin. thank you very much.i was very at home at hospedaje.i suffered altitude sickness and the beautiful lady (i failed to ask her name) offered me tea to combat my illness.everyone there was so nice, they all made you feel you were at home, away from home. they helped in every task i needed to do, from the machu picchu tours to even getting a taxi. i would very highly recommend that travellers book at hospedaje turistico de recoleta under the most competent management of Senor Javier Marroquin. thank you very much....Close

This is where you go to relax and have some down time- perfect for after the Inca Trail. Dont come here if you want to party-I was surpised to come into the hostel at 10pm to find everyone else asleep.

Excelente Hospedaje. El servicio inmejorable: Javier se ofrecio a enviarnos un taxi al aeropuerto, nos ayudo con el tema del camino al Salkantay, visita a Puno, etc. Del hospedaje no se puede pedir mas, todo muy limpio, desayuno, agua caliente en todo momento, guardaropa para cuando fuimos a Salkantay. El hospedaje queda a menos de 10 minutos a pie de la plaza de armas, tambien muy cerca del mercado de artesanias. Sin duda vamos a quedarnos ahi la prox vez q visitemos Cusco.Excelente Hospedaje.
