Recommend this for a good base for MP, quite friendly and clean. Be careful if you book they don't try to charge you $ if you have booked in sols, keep your reservation details and if you are getting the 5.30 am bus up to MP make sure they know if you are taking breakfast early as I woke them up when I came down the stairs and turned the lights on at 4.30 am

Good - The staff is really awesome and helpful - Good location in that not too close to river or train tracks - Extremely clean - Awesome rooms and bathrooms (see below) Could Be Better - I didnt have hot water for shower daytime 2 of my days (Wednesday or Sunday) - other times it was hot - Wifi hardly works downstairs (not in my 3rd floor room) - Breakfast is just coffee, 1 piece of bread, juice Thanks for a good stay. I hope my feedback is honest, fair, and helpful. Scott

We spent one night here before heading to Machu Pichu. The staff was great and met us at the train station, and it was a 5 minute walk to the hostal. We had a double-bed with bathroom ensuite. The room and bathroom were clean, and there was hot water. It's great that breakfast is between 4:30am and 9am, to accommodate early risers that want to get to the mountain before the crowds, but you should expect bread, jam and butter. Great value for the money.

The staff were nice, the hostel is near the center and the train station, but it is quite. The wifi hardly worked but all together it was very good for one night.

This is a nice new Hostel. The rooms and bathrooms are really bright and clean. However, some of the inside rooms don\'t have windows to outside. It is a nice quiet location but still close to the market,trains, buses for Machu Picchu and the main restaurant area of town. The owner, Edison, in Cuzco was very helpful before we arrived and Mercedes and her family that run the Hostel are welcoming, helpful and friendly. We had a very nice stay and I would recommend this Hostel to other travelers.

NOTE: I MADE MY RESERVATION FOR SOL DE ORO BUT WAS BROUGHT TO A DIFFERENT HOSTAL CALLED HOSTAL ANGIE'S. THIS REVIEW IS FOR HOSTAL ANGIE'S. This hostal was fine; it was just off the plaza, everything in the room worked, it was clean, and there was hot water. Thus, I received the same level of accomodation that I was expecting to receive at Hostal Sol de Oro. That said, I wish the staff had been more forthcoming about why they moved us to the other hostal (the twp hostals have the same owner).

This place had the best hot water that I have encountered in S.A. The owner and his wife were very nice and without their help I would have missed my tour entirely. Super people and hard workers. Good, clean, secure and quite facility.
