Samay Wasi Youth Hostels-Cusco Reviews

They are amazing!

Very beautiful and clean hostel with an amazing view of Cusco. It's a little bit of a trek from la Plaza de Armas, but it is worth it. Very mellow with lots of nice people.

Great place to stay! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, they make you feel like home. Facilities are of really great value, there's a terrace with an amazing view and good location. Would def recommend this place, one of the best we stayed in on our trip in Peru!

Located on the hillside, right next to the footpaths to get to the Christ, the patio overlooks the entire city so at night you can see all the lights popping up. San Blas is a trendy, fun and safe neighborhood as well with good food, bakeries, shopping, people watching, etc. The staff are absolutely incredible-- kind hearted, caring and always laughing. Definitely stay here.

Well located, wonderful view from the second floor, tasty breakfast and fresh juices made our stay in Samay Wasi very pleasant. The person called James who was meeting us the day we arrived was quite a tricky, made us cross and intensive-traffic road in order to take the taxi and pay less. This was not very nice due to heavy backpacks with us and cars driving fast. The reception staff was very attentive and kind. Hot water was available at any time. And the bed clothes were clean. Recommendable!

Everybody was very helpful, hot water available anytime. Source of heating in the breakfast room would be good, can be chilly at night and in the morning.

Friendly hostel and in a good location, viewing the whole of the city from the hillside. The centre is only about 10 minutes walk down the hill.

We have been traveling in South America for over 4 months, and this is one of the best places we have stayed. I really can´t recommend it enough. It is probably one of the few hostels that we would have no problem staying at again if we were to return.

Nice and friendly place in Cuzco. somehow i had the 6 person dorm for my own and the hostel was pretty empty. But the staff was very friendly and the price quality rate is pretty high!

Al personal de Samay Wasi, os extraño mucho...gracias por dejarme usar su tarjeta de llamadas, gracias por el desayuno, gracias por contestar mis preguntas sobre el quechua. Os deseo lo mejor y más, que vayan todos al Samay Wasi. Recuerdo siempre la vista del Cusco desde sus balcones. Стеклянные двери дают очень стильный, шик модерн вид, комната для завтрака на веранде и вообще там уютно было.

Couldn't have found a better place to stay. Its a short distance to the plaza, to the hiking trails, as well as to the cabs. I totally recommend this place to stay. The manager is on top of her game, highly organised and goes out of her way to help and accomodate you. Loved staying here.

Samay Wasi is a nice, cosy and rather quiet hostel. The staff is very friendly and will help you with anything. The location is up the hill, but still near the center and has a great view. The pick-up from the airport worked perfectly.

Definitely hostel I would recommend it. Nice, pleasant, clean, with normal toilets, comfy rooms and very friendly hosts.

A lovely place to stay, in a nice location. It was great having a complimentary pick up from the airport. The included breakfast was basic but delicious.

Great hostel- amazing terrace with better views than the swanky hotels in town! Staff great, being able to make tea all day a bonus. The security buzzer is a little bizarre- makes so much noise it can wake you up at night (esp in room closest to entrance)- but they buzz everyone in without checking who it is- so not sure how it makes the place secure! Other than that everything was great. Only very short walk into old town. Would definately recommend.

Possibility to contact with hostel before arrive. They will also organize transport from bus station to the hostel for free. Staff is very helpful and kind. There is a possibility to get an extra breakfast which is tasty. Really close to Plaza de Armas. Possibility to use computer which allows e.g. record your data or make another bookings :)

Really nice location. Close to the Plaza. Nice common room and the staff are really friendly. Be careful with your things if you are leaving them in the storage room to do Macchu Picchu. I had a poster of mine stolen and was only gone for one day.

Great service. Clean, fast, efficient. Helped me with my laundry, picked me up from the airport, called a taxi for me to the airport. Quiet. One the first day I was in a 6-bed room by myself, which was awesome. On a hill - don't underestimate the altitude in climbing the hill. But, the climb gives Samay Wasi a great sense of isolation and safety. I felt right at home in there. The staff speaks English well enough (hola, Judith at the counter). They made me breakfast at 3.30AM.

The atmosphere was very cozy, the rooms were very clean, and the staff was super friendly and amazing!

Hostel has a beautiful view over the city, particularly spectacular at night. Definitely worth the uphill walk to find it. Location is convenient as all of Cusco is quite compact. Staff are all friendly and very helpful, didn't have a bad moment. Also the internet works which is a plus.
