Pirwa Backpackers Colonial Reviews

A really great hostel in an awesome location. The staff are always helpful (and always around) and there are a range of different things to do in the evenings if you don't fancy heading out on the town. There's even a ping pong table!

The personnel was friendly, and the hostel had lots of shared bathrooms so there wasn't a wait. Dorms were well-priced and there's a bar, lounge, patio, fast food etc, so it's a good place to meet people. I liked the location close to main square but in a quieter plaza (2 blocks from the main square).

We got to stay in the "Marriage Suite" during our stay and it was fantastic. I highly recommend this option for those who are willing to spend a few extra dollars a night. The room was perfect.

really nice hostel, perfect location, nice breakfast and very friendly staff!! cleanliness was also awesome! would definitely recommend it!

Great hostel well located in Plaza San Francisco. Loads of bathrooms and hot water, great TV area and a handy little kitchen. Reception staff could be a little stern at times, but otherwise a great place in Cusco.

A great hostel that is centrally located and the staff are so helpful and friendly. Definitely would stay again.

We were booked to stay at Pirwa Colonial for 1 night but ended up having 5 nights in total. Its a very nice hostel and has everything you need to enjoy Cuzco. Don´t eat at the bar, expensive and very average and also don´t book any bus tickets or tours through the agency at the hostel, they are a rip off. E.g. we got them to book us bus tickets to Puno and they doubled the price (charged us s/50 when the tickets were actually only s/25).

Situated in Cuzco' Historical Centre, have a lovely and heplfull staff, hot water and good breakfast. Excelent location and have a tourism agency beside of it. I loved my days in Pirwa Hostel.

really liked the hostel, very flexible to my needs...holding bags, keeping rooms etc. 100% hostelling experience

Very good stay. Perfect location in the historical center, clean, with animation and well organised. snack service affordable and good.. Quiet room and good bed. Clean bathroom. Very nice and helpfull staff!

It is a very good hostel, everything clean, and with very good location

The staff was amazing. Looked after me when I had altitude sickness, even brought me mate de coca in bed. The only thing that couldve been improved was it was really cold. The inside had an opening and since Cusco is cold, it seemed like we were sleeping outside.

Great hostel, probably the safest and still most fun in cusco, the nicest and most helpful staff ever :)

Good Location, Friendly Staff and Excellent facilities. Hostel was quiet but I guess that is due to it being the off season.

Long Comment Short: - The showers are nice (24 hrs hot, big and clean) - The beds are great! - Big Lockers for everyone in the rooms! And Small ones on the reception - Free Breackfast and big community area

I stayed in Pirwa Colonial quite a while, because it's such a nice place.The staff is super nice, you can join a lot of activities like pool tournament, Movie Nights, etc. and if you want to know something about the tours around Cusco, you can use the free internet or ask at the tourist information, which is placed next to the hostel. The bathrooms are big and really clean just as the bedrooms, where you can also find a locker for each person.I really enjoyed my staying here!

Big hostel with lots of space to hang out. bar was ok. had my ipod stolen while we stayed there so watch your stuff!

Very friendly staff, big rooms, good facilities. We came back to stay here on 4 different occasions in our time in Cusco. Restaurant and bar is not as good as some in Cusco but it's a much more relaxed atmosphere. Definately recommend.

We stayed at Pirwa for four nights total, before and after our Machu Picchu trip. The staff was great! They were so helpful and friendly. We had an initial problem with our booking but they helped us solve it quickly and were very understanding. There is a large kitchen but it is a little understocked as far as cooking utensils are concerned. The hostel is a little chilly but the beds are comfortable and they have down comforters to stay warm. Great activities, food and specials at the bar.

It's not a great hostel though it's not bad either.
