Sumac Chaska Hostel Reviews

Great hostel attended by their owners. Cali gave us excellent information about trekking alternatives around Ollantaytambo. Thanks!

good location,bed and staff

Its chilled and quite hostel. Needed if you are going to Machu Picchu early in the AM.

The girl from the staff was pretty nice and sweet, she made our breakfast to go because we were leaving pretty early, something I really appreciate. The rooms are comfortable, and it is well located.

+ Nice staff, very helpful + Big kitchen - Bathroom very dirty - No bar

Very good hostal. The only thing is that there are no lockers on the room, however it was not a problem for us. The staff was very friendly and packed us breakfast since we hade to leave before breakfast time! Very good location.

Place was great!!! The staff spoke excellent english (one being a native english speaker) and shared lots of information on the town and things to do, places to eat, etc. Hostel was secure, only one entrance which was monitored. The rooms were clean and had plenty of blankets, towels also available. Breakfast was the standard bread, jam and tea/coffee. Location is just minutes from the main square and easy to find. Staff were INCREDIBLY helpful and accommodating with travel tips and suggestions.

Breakfast was supposed to be free, but we were told that we had to pay for the eggs, or we would only get bread and coffee. Showers did not have hot water. Overheard another guest say he got shocked when he tried to fix the electric water heater on the showerhead. Bathroom smelled bad.

great place to stay

Stayed here after completing the Inca Trail, great place to recuperate! Really comfortable beds with down comforters, and a great location in the old Inca town!

Nice hostel ! Hamac on the top floor, big kitchen, lounge with sofas, close to the main plaza and 10 min walk to the train station. The bathroom is so so (problems with hot water) but still it's a good place to stay before going to Macchu pichu :) The staff is amazingly nice.

Wonderful people!

Amazing hosts, incredibly helpful and gave us loads of tips on what to do around the area. The town itself is so beautiful and we really loved our time at Sumac, so much so we stayed for an additional night. We stayed in the double private room with ensuite. Great room, with a balcony and incredible views. No WIFI in the room and shower had very weak pressure - but this is just to be expected in Peru! Would definitely recommend Sumac.

Cosy little hostel located at a good spot. Very helpful staff (owners) who can advise on local attractions (and how to get inside without paying). Extra portion of breakfast was a little overpriced, but does not matter that much (don't take it if you're ok with bread and marmelade). No computer with internet, which is a little pity.

Nice hostel, still starting up but with lots of potential. The village is much nicer and prettier than Aguas Caliëntes and we advise everybody, who is not desparate to catch a sunrise at Machu Picchu, to stay the night in Ollantaytambo and to make shure to enjoy the attractions there as well

I had a nice stay at this hostel. They were in the middle of renovations when I was there. It was a nice place to base myself to explore the sacred valley.

Clean with a good kitchen which only allows limited use. hot water but only little more than a trickle. prompt and reasonable priced laundry service. good location. English speaking staff barely there during my visit.

the bathroon was very dirty and cold

This hostel was amazing! The staff was so friendly and helpful about what to do in town. Everything was clean and the beds were super comfortable. If I were to ever go back to ollantaytambo I would stay here!

Great place to stay in Ollantaytambo! Very friendly & helpful staff.
