Property Description

Pirwa Colonial Cusco, is a backpackers hostel with years of experience that was born right here in Cusco!
You'll find Pirwa Colonial Backpackers Hostel at just two blocks from the Main Square of Cusco, at small distance from quality markets, restaurants, money exchanges as well as fascinating monuments and museums for the daytime and lively clubs and bars for the night.

This 16th century colonial house was once owned by the niece of Conquistador Francisco Pizarro. Now, it's a backpacker's community facilitating cultural interchange between travelers from all over the world! With social areas including an inner patio with BBQ grill, TV & Game Lounge with pool, foosball table, dartboard, bar, and pizzeria, you'll find plenty of opportunities to mingle, relax, and trade travel tales.

The hostel was overall ok. There are not enough lockers for everybody in one room, and the doors to the room are not really doors. The kitchen is really small and not equipped at all. The showers are really bad. I had to change bath three times at one point, and go through the court yard only wearing a towel, because the water either was burning hit or super cold. The price is low, and that’s what you get.

This was the worst hostel experience I've ever had. Aside the not so friendly staff, the facilities are disgusting: building is freezing, including the room area; communal bathroom rarely has toilet paper, requiring me to ask the staff downstairs (while freezing at night); water stops running during the night (not flushing, the toilet smelled like sewage), showers area has no light, is cold and dirty. Worst: they charged us for a taxi which we cancelled 5 days in advance. Left after 1 night.
