Supertramp Hostel Reviews

The hostel is ok, don't need anything more than this when you go to Machu.

Good Location, 5 mintues walk from the train. Security is good,secure metal lockers. The bathrooms are a bit too "Communal". Sebastian the owner was very friendly and helpful so I do feel bad about giving this hostel a poor rating for staff but unfortunately Alejandro and the guy who worked the bar were not so friendly. The bartender left me standing at the bar one night for 30 mintues waiting to be served while he sat yakking to his friend but Sebastian did agree and said he would speak to him.

Should be cleaner

If you have any intention of sleeping before visiting Machu Picchu, then stay elsewhere. Miserable night

I stayed there only one night, but it was very nice! The bathrooms have not too much privacy, but the beds are very comfy. The terrace is nice and the stuff is very kind! Only 4 blocks from the train station! It' s a real good place to stay, relax, and enjoying!

I thought this hostel was really nice to relax after the Machu Picchu trek. It is on the smaller side, so it is nice and cozy. The staff is also very friendly and the owner is awesome!

nice place, excellent peoples!

Had a blast in our 3 day stay in Aguas Calientes and Sthe staff at the Supertramp was nice and took great care of their guests. Better pillows could go a long way, but I would say its comparable to a 3 star hotel in North America only more personal. They even made breakfast for us at 4am!! Never got their names, but everyone was cool. An attractive girl made me a pisco sour at the end of the night when the usual bartender was busy. Delicious. The drink was good too. ;-)

Best option in Aguas Calientes. Hostel serves early and good breakfast for those going to Machu Picchu. Bathrooms are clean and beds are comfy. A good place to meet travelers for the walk up to the citadel. Recommended.

This place was really good for one thing, sleeping over to get up early and head up to Machu. Aside from that, it was nothing special.

Absolutely repulsive bathrooms.

Only two toilets for two private rooms and a large dorm - one was clogged for the entire duration of our stay. The stalls don't offer any privacy - you can hear people peeing from the reception area. There are white stains all over the blankets and sheets. It was loud - when most people are waking up early to see Machu Picchu, THE STAFF should turn down their TV volume by around 1:00AM. Aguas Calientes isn't known for great hostel options, but there has to be better than this.

Nice hostel, good wifi - a rarity in Peru. The owner was very friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that there was no hot water for the three days that we were there and it the weather was freezing. We were told that it was because that gas had not arrived to aguas calientes yet, but I dont know...all of the other tourists I talked to seemed to have hot water in their hostel. Might be a good idea to keep an extra tank of gas on hand in case this happens again. Overall decent hostel.

Supertramp is a pretty good hostel. The dorms are well cared for with lots of space and big, roomy beds. The share bathrooms are also in good shape. The kitchen is a bit worse for wear but it does the trick. We found the staff to be most helpful. A nice touch is that the free breakfast (with eggs!) starts at four am so you can get an early start to Machu Pichu.

Totally serviceable for a one-night stay before exploring Machu Picchu the next day, but didn't leave us impressed or with any memorable moments. The twin room we stayed in had a window to the inner atrium but no view of the outside world, so lighting was poor, as was ventilation. The bathroom is shared between men and women and offers little privacy.

Great place to spend a night on either side of a Machu Picchu visit / trek. Very comfortable and accommodating (breakfast starts at 4:30 for the early risers) and they let you hang out until your afternoon / evening train comes. Location is great. Great little city in the mountains, very relaxed.

Bathrooms were clean and nice. It's a far walk from where the trains actually depart. Beds and sheets could have been cleaner

Had a great stay here. Wonderful staff.

Comfortable beds which were a welcome sight when travelling up and around Machu Picchu! The staff are lovely and the fact they serve breakfast from 4:30am to cater for those guests wishing to get the first bus up to MP is a really nice touch. The rooftop patio was a great spot to chill out, have a beer, read a book or meet some people. Definitely recommend staying here when you are visiting Machu Picchu

the staff was extremely helpful and cheerful. they created a very warm atmosphere and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hostel!
