This is definitely a party hostel and was very loud into the early hours of the morning. The beds had really warm comforters and the computer room and bar area were nice. The showers were okay but the place is huge so it's hard to keep it super clean. The staff was okay, not the most helpful. When we asked for recommendations for restaurants, they suggested McDonalds!

Hands down the best all around hostel in South America. The bar food is also exceptional with very reasonable prices. If your looking for a great comfortable, clean hostel to meet other travelers look no further. My only negative is, if you plan on doing activities early the next day don't choose to do them on the weekend. The hostel bar/restaurant is really loud with parties till 2 in the morning. A suggestion would be for security to control noise in hallways at night.

I have to admit: it is a huge hostel and is therefore missing a bit in the "small/cute/atmosphere"Category, but anyway: I loved it! It was really organized and clean! And the beds were the best I knew so far in South America!

Stayed there during christmas, very social hostel, good parties! Very comfy beds, they cleaned good every day. I had lost my luggage on my was to cusco, the staff could be more helpful. Nice facilities, internet/reading-room, movieroom, and bar. Though, the food in the bar is not good, and worth the money. Would stay there again:)

Excellent hostel for meeting people - they have a large dining/drinking area with relatively cheap food and great atmosphere where there is something on every night. That is the highlight of this place, its a proper hostel where lots of people can meet and take it from there. The facilities are generally good with hot showers, many bathrooms, but unfortunately normally there is no soap to wash hands! also, they only sell towels - no rentals which we thought was absurd. Overall recommended!

Very big hostel. The building is very nice and good located, but no good attention because it is too big. Not a good place to meet people. Too noisy at night

Do not stay at this hostel unless you want to be kept up late and/or party. The music stays on until 10pm, but then the bar which is on the second level stays open. Both nights that I stayed there I was kept up late by drunk people talking in the bar or in the patio outside.

Great facilities and common rooms to hang out. They provided a great base camp for us when we were in Cusco as well as when we went to Machu Picchu as we left our big backpacks there. The staff wasn't unhelpful but wasn't the best for machu Picchu do-it-yourselfers as they assumed you would book everything through an agency.

Very good hostal. Unfortunately, it is impossible to enjoy a quiet moment during the day because of the very loud music everywhere.

This is my favorite hostel I have stayed at by far. Great location, amazing atmosphere, helpful staff, extremely secure. I recommend this hostel to all ages. Great place to stay while aclimating to the altitude before doing the inca trail. They were awesome and also had luggage storage for the 5 days we were gone. Stay here.
