the staff are very open, kind and welcoming. They are accomodating and very friendly. Although a knowledge of spanish is an obvious benifit, english is common among most of the staff. The Pirwa hostel in aguas calientes is less established as a hostel but the staff go beyond to ensure your time there is great. it is not a party hostel in cuzco, but the place is very quaint, has tons of character and attracts the right type of backpackers. and the beds are the best i have slept in. pirwaaaaaaaa

Situated in an excellent location and friendly staff. Big TV, pool table and a nice bar, however there was no advertising for this, even with a full hostel the bar was empty!? a shame!! s Showers and toilets are open and in the hallway, so no privacy. The mens, with just a curtain as a door!? also no hot water in a Private room!? Aside from this, oh and my jacket being stolen, its a warm bed, which is all you'll be using when surrounded by beautiful Cusco.

Really great hostel, they made our start in Peru super easy. Airport transfer, nice comfy rooms (best beds for weeks!), good DVD selection and nice breakfast. Fantastic location, close to everything but not too close. They also let us store our gear while we went off into the jungle for a few days and have helped us arrange our trip to Machu Picchu. Wonderful.

Got attacked by bed bugs from the woollen blanket, be aware. Great hostel otherwise, heaps of space to chill out. Good Dvd collection.

The hostel was great! The staff was really awesome. Always willing to help with planning anything, giving directions and improving spanish. The hostel is impecably clean. The staff works really hard to keep it clean and their chef is the sweetest person. She is a great one to sit and chat about Peru/Cusco and learn Spanish. The tv lounge is great and the kitchen too. There is a constant flow of coca tea for the altitude and the cold nights. Sometimes its better to go directtothesourcewhenbookint
