Mama Simona Hostel Reviews

It's a well run facility, from the top down to the cleaning and maintenance staff, all have good work ethics and attitude. Issue I had was handled by Marianela the owner, in a prompt and professional manor. The in house travel bureau is also well run with knowledgeable staff, my needs were met with precisely what was requested, without I may add, any pressure sales pitches for add ons. Met some very nice people and had an enjoyable stay, have no problem assuring anyone it's good value.

Great place to stay. Rooms are the best we have stayed in in south america and definitely the cleanest. Doubles are definitely the way to go here, if travelling alone the dorms are really good too. Only 5-10 mins walks to all the bars and restaurants so no noise at night which is great if you have had a restless journey. The most important thing was the staff helped us sooo much in our time of need when we our tour bus failed to collect us at 4am to Machu Picchu. Diane your a little star.

If you want a Nic e hostel then you found it, If you are looking to party find another!

A little quiet, may be hard to meet people on your own. Good beds, but plastic sheet underneath a little annoying. Clean and secure, staff helpful, laundry round corner good value too.

We only stayed for one night so not really enough to soak up the atmosphere, however it seemed very nice, the breakfast was good with fruit and the obligatory bread. Kitchen use was nice if a little cramped. Beds were very comfy and two pillows is like heaven! So nice all in all

Very satisfied. the only weak thing is the wifi which is more than very slow. Booked 3 tours with the agency inside the hostel and that was amazing.

Eggs for breakfast! Nice! Nice, warm, helpful staff. Tea around the clock in a nice chill area. Perfect for my trip before and after Machu Picchu for my quiet and solitude.

Great hostel, really relaxing. Nice rooms (we tried them all), fast internet, friendly staff.

Mama simona was a wonderful hostel. The staff was very hospitable and accomodating. We stayed there for about a week and the hostel became a second home to us. The hostel itself is well maintained, cozy and kept very clean. A special thanks to Eddison and Mariliana (I hope I spelt that right !) For all their help. And the rest of the staff for breakfasts, calling us cabs and letting us crash in a room @5am. Thank you fof making Peru so memorable for us !

Edison was very helpful and welcoming. We loved our room and time staying here!

Mama Simona was one of the best hostels we stayed at in our three months in South America. Great atmosphere, SUPER clean, tons of common space, free coffee and tea. They lend out books & guitars! High speed internet (a rarity in SA). THE ROOMS -our double felt like a friend's extra bedroom, super clean and HUGE, with CABLE TV. GREAT hot showers, safety box in your room (like a hotels), two locks on the doors, super safe, close to all main drags. perfect location.

Excelente lugar. Todos super atentos. Muy recomendable

EXCELLENT PLACE

Stayed here for over a week. Very chill place with nice people. Quiet at night but close enough to the main plaza. Would recommend to everyone.

Its a very nice hostel, about 10 minutes walk from the main square. It's got a pretty casual, friendly atmosphere. Cleaner and quieter than the party hostel I was staying in before.

Definitely not a party hostel, but if you're looking for somewhere quiet to hang out in Cusco, it's a good spot. Breakfast is standard bread and jam, but also fresg juice which is nice. Beds comfortable, although there's a plastic undersheet which can be noisy and uncomfortable. Shower room was a bit mouldy. Staff pleasant and helpful, and checked me in and gave me a bed when I arrived off a night bus at 7am.

We really enjoyed our time at Mama Simona! We stayed in another, less expensive hostel in Cuzco and hated it. Mama Simona is absolutely worth the extra few dollars, euros, etc. The staff was extremely helpful and nice, facilities were warm and clean, and the overall peacefulness was very much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.

Top quality hostel, booked for one night but ended up staying for 7 on both sides of our MP trip. Returning here from Agua Calientes almost felt like coming home. Staff speaks english and are friendly and help you with all your problems, ie call a taxi for you 2AM to the main square to get better cell reception for important phone call or call a doctor to the hostel because one of us had fever. Even the dorm beds (supercomfy) were made and rooms cleaned every day. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Very nice hostel to stay in. The people that stayed there were not all the partying type, which was nice as so many hostels in Cusco are. the staff could of been a little more helpful showing the facilities of the hostels but overall I had a good stay. Thank you

great hostel! we would highly recommend it for your stay :) especially a fantastic kitchen to cook.. and everything very clean!
