Perfect for a quick stayover in Aguas Calientes. They cater to tourists looking to visit macchu picchu. Early breakfasts ( starting at 4:30am) are great. It is far enough away from the train station to avoid the noise but also located a quick distance from the center of town. Very close to the hot springs.

Pretty good - slightly expensive, but good location. The staff was very friendly and nice and breakfast was available early so you could grab the first bus to Macchu Pichu.

Good place to stay for one night before heading up to Machu P. Clean and secure. Breakfast nice and early in order to get the first bus up to the site. No complaints.

A very good hostel and very clean. They change your towel every day and clean your entire room as well. Really good and complete breakfast. The staff are really friendly. The price for what you have is good compare to the expensive place that is this touristy village. Internet works perfectly they have one computer and Wifi.

Nothing is great in Machu Picchu City and the hostel doesn't stand out, except for the value you get for your money, meaning a night to sleep.

Great hostel to rest your head before the early rise to Machu Picchu. Breakfast served nice and early 430-8am. Private rooms are large and beds are comfortable. The staff allowed us to check out later free of charge.

The staff at Pirwa are EXCELLENT! We had a good experience, in AC, but because of everyone that works at the hostel, it turned into a great experience. Breakfast was perfect in the morning--the selection was exactly what we needed for the day ahead of us.

Good place to stay the night, offers super early breakfast for everyone getting up early to catch the bus to Machu Pichu.

You should at least add some clothes racks to put the wet clothes (it rains a lot over there!) and also a shower curtain. Lockers in the room would be great too. Thank you!

we stayed at the room next to the sitting room, the wall is so thin i can hear everything words they said in the sitting room. The internet is super slow, sometimes can't get online at all.

Really loved my stay at this hostel. Was only there for one night prior to my climb to Machu Piccu, but it had everything I needed - a quiet night's sleep, a kitchen to self-cater in pricey Agua Calientes and an early 4:30am breakfast. Staff were brilliant, so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

I was only there for the night before going to Macchu Picchu, but the room was was nice and clean and the staff was friendly and provided info regarding Macchu Picchu. I would easily stay there longer if I had more time.

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!
