Great hostel, and value for money. About a 5 minute walk from the train station, and the same to the bus that leads to Machu Picchu. The staff was very helpful and the rooms were very confortable and clear! I would definitely go back!

Great hostel, nice breakfast, helpful staff, especially then Juan Carlos. Wifi a bit slow and vanishing at times, but ok. Clean beds, rooms, comfortable and easy to reach. Enjoyed it very much.

good place for access to Machu Picchu. Bit out of the middle of town but easy walk. But Aguas Calientes is really small so its not an issue. Breakfast was more than just the standard bread, jam and tea.

We did enjoy our stay at Pirwa Hostal, the location was right and the staff were very helpful. Unfortunately we found the room incredibly noisy and humid. We could hear people in the lobby talking and even 2 floors up. Our clothes were damp after we returned from Machu Picchu due to the humidity in the rooms. These were the only problems, the staff and location were great!

This place is okay. It is a basic hostel and a good place to stay if you are just needing a place to sleep before or after Machu Picchu. It is a very easy walk to the train station and the tick booths for Machu Picchu Tickets and the bus is not too far away.

The room, the bed and the pillow smells mold. The wall have a lot of infiltration... and has no hot water!

Opció senzilla, però correcta. Bona opció econòmica per una nit abans/després del machu/pichu. Esmorzar preparat a partir de les 4 a.m.Servei de recollida a l'estació (trucant al mateix dia) efcicient i recomanat (venen a peu, perquè al poble no hi ha cotxes, però val la pena fer-lo servir perquè hi ha algun carrer enrevessat).
