Mama Simona Hostel Reviews

Best hostel we stayed in during our travels through South America. Direct Tv in the rooms! Kitchen was big and well stocked, beautiful common areas, checkout wasn't until 1pm.

We stayed here several nights before and after our 4D Inca Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu. Kept reserving a 4 bed dorm but were bumped to 6 and 8 bed dorms each time. Beds were comfy, nice fluffy duvets, great! Bread, tea and jam breakfast, eggs for extra. Good kitchen and dining area, nice sofas in main area, good computer room, good wifi, good hot water and sizeable lockers to store bags during treks. Quiet area close but far enough away from bustling plaza. Would recommend.

Very nice staff and the service was great!

Great Hostel. Quiet, comfortable rooms.

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.
