This is a great hostel for patying, but it is basically like staying in a bar. If you don't want to drink 24/7 there are much better hostels in Cusco. The staff seemed ambivalent and not very welcoming. I wasn't given a map or any advice about the city, just "here is your room". The WiFi is terrible and the lounge is a huge closed courtyard, which would be great in summer, but is very cold in winter (no heaters). a I haven't had a bad time here but would recommend looking at other options.

This is a great party hostel, and what I loved was that they kinda keep the bar and rooms seperate so u can sleep as well (assuming your roommates arent too drunk and annoying!) Good rooms, very clean, extremely safe, great atmosphere and tons of great activities at the bar! The internet, however, was very bad and crushed often... It is a bit expensive as well Other than that I had a blast!

Wild Rover Cusco was amazing. The staff was really friendly and helpful, the rooms were nice, clean, and very decent compared to most hostels. It's got a great bar with fantastic parties almost every night. If you're looking for an awesome place to stay, the party never stops here!

Good location just 2 blocks from the main square in Cusco. Free wifi, free lockers with chargers and lockers in the rooms. Beds are huge and comfortable. The bar is an awesome place to spend the night before heading out into cusco, different activities organised every night in the bar and the food is awesome. Huge portions. Not a hostel for people who like it quiet and like to get their sleep though.

Probably the best hostel i've been to across all my travelling! Fantastic set up by someone who clearly knows what travellers want and need. Sure, it´s not "hotel clean" but for a south american hostel, it´s near spotless! Great food, great staff and great atmosphere but on that know that this is a party hostel so don't go there and be shocked to hear there's still a party going on at midnight. Get involved!!

Fantastic hostel. The pub has something going on every night and has a great atmosphere. Food is great, too! Lockers for charging electronics was good. Shower had hot water and great water pressure. Rooms are a decent size with good lockers. Definitely a party hostel, but my group was asleep early on our last night, and didn't have much trouble sleeping, save for a couple people coming and going during the night. We were far from the pub, though.

Good backpacker place to stay. Comfortable beds, all basics covered, cheap good food available at the bar, charging lockers in the courtyard are a bonus. A little loud at night. Close to food shops, a short walk to the city centre. One short-comming is that the reception safe for valuable can onl y be accessed within business hours, this is not ideal for people who are taking buses or flights outside of these hours.

It's a good place - Not amazing like all the hype but if you like a bar atmosphere not a crazy party atmosphere - this is your place. The food is good and the rooms are clean.

The beds are comfortable, but don't come here to sleep! You can hear everyone in the hallways, even barefoot travelers. Great for security, large lockers to fit backpacks, charging lockers downstairs and a holding locker for other valuables. However don't leave anything out or it will get stolen. Silly items like my pillow and water bottle were stolen. Good food for good prices, close to everything you may need including a grocery store. Good place to meet other travellers.

Like Loki, a stay at Wild Rover is a stay at a bar with beds, not a hostel. There is no kitchen, you have a wristband that lets you charge drinks and meals to your "tab" to be charged at the end of your stay, and there are wild parties every night. If you want to meet other travellers and party in Cusco, these places facillitate that, but beware their trap - that you never get out into the town and experience very little of the local food, culture, and nightlife. Stay here, but explore!

Best hostel I have ever stayed in, and I have stayed in A LOT of hostels. I wish I could live there! Great showers, beds, parties, beer, staff, security - everything. Loved it. GO THERE. You will stay longer than you originally planned.

I was a little disappointed that theres no Kitchen or breakfast (coffe and toast is breakfast) but atmosphere is amazing, the bar serves cheap high quality food and staff are great. I had a small bit of trouble and the manager took the effort to make sure I got sorted. no nicer bloke.

Great place to meet other people. Really nice bar and attentive staff all through the hostel. Booked a week stayed almost 3. Really comfy beds and nice food even if you can find cheaper it is easy and delicious to order at the bar. Great activities at night and super clean.
