I've been to Cuzco several times and this is the best hostel I have stayed in. The staff were all very friendly especially Nico and Jose Carlos who were both also very handsome. The bar was great, and the bed was more comfortable than you could imagine. Highly recommended.

This is a fantastic hostel, Pedro is a very good hostel owner and helps out with anything. He also got a booking company if you want to go to Sacred Valley or Macchu Picchu. This is not a party hostel, its a place for relaxcation and building strengt for the hiking. Recommend all Scandinavians (and all others) to use this hostel, good standards. Mr Norwegian

Really cool atmosphere and friendly staff. The showers were hot and had good pressure, and the beds were soft and had fluffy pillows!

The Hostal is located at an excellent place just a couple of minutes walk from the center. The staff is very friendly and the services are good as well. The best part is the Bar where they organize good social evenings and excellent Daiquiris. The only point that I would like to criticize was the breakfast ....got a little bored after four days of eating only scrambled eggs. But rest was all perfect. Value for money option for Cuzco. You get to meet a lot of people from different countries.

Stayed here two nights and I really liked this place. Great food at the bar. We eat there all the time. Good breakfast. Roxana does a great job keeping the place clean. Shes so friendly and always smiling. Loved the quirky decor. The common ares are cool. Pool table, table tennis etc. Showers are nice and hot and the matteresd nice and firm. Would stay again. wifi flys in the morning, bit slower in the afternoon but that's due to the number users I think. Our belongs we're storaged safely.

Decent hostel close to the main square. The breakfast is good if you can get up early for scrambled eggs! The bar is fun and the showers are great. BUT, definitely DO NOT book any trips through the travel agents in the hostel - they forgot to confirm our flights into the rainforest and provided us with an invalid receipt for our trip - we had to get the overnight bus and ended up stranded in the out-of-town bus station for hours because no-one knew we were coming - scary experience.

We felt this hostel was really impressive at first sight, it has a nice bar and fair prices and the court-yard is really nice, not to mention the art work. The problem however was that the rooms were cold, and there were no indoor seating areas apart from the bar which was full of chain smokers! Pros and cons like any hostel - same goes for the staff. If you are a non smoker who likes a quiet sleep than this is not the place for you; but if you want a night out with friends, this is your place.

Very noisy. Suitable for party seekers. When I go to the toilet in the morning, I found that there is a used condom in the basin. Afterall, it is a typical hostel for international backpacker.

The Kokopelli was one of the best hostel I've ever been to. The showers and bathrooms are incredibly clean as well as the rooms. Staff was very helpful with bus reservations and knew Cusco very well. The breakfast was amazing, there is free coca leaves for tea all day and at night you can order a nice Pisco Sour. The hostel is very stylish and only a minute away from Plaza de Armas
