Comfortable beds, helpful staff and secure luggage storage for our trek. Only comment would be that all communal space is open air making it very cold of an evening but I think this is true for most of the hostels in Cusco

Good hot showers and room is comfortable. Wifi is vexingly slow and intermittent. Even though breakfast isn't include it is reasonably priced and there is a really nice outlook from the bar. We knew it was a party hostel going in so we weren't bothered by noise. The lower floors are fine but the higher you get the more you will be involved in the party.

Booked for 2 stayed for 5. Chilled out, great staff and the owners really love what they do and it shows providing excellent recommendations for all types of activities in and around the area. Comfortable beds, spacious rooms and great common areas. Simple breakfast but good coffee and a supermarket across the road. Stay here.

12th Apr 2015

The staff - particularly Javier and Etel (who makes the best omelettes ever!) are excellent but we found the rest of the experience fell a bit flat. There is a lovely courtyard to sit in but the rooms are small and cramped (our room was most likely a 4 bed dorm that they converted) with rickety beds and the bathrooms are damp and there are too few for the number of beds. We left a night early.

Small, friendly hostel with nice patio and amiable dog. Location good, close to metro and walking distance to supermarket, bars, cafes etc and on a quiet street in a nice part of town.

We stayed in an apartment which was spacious and comfortable but did not have great security (could easily climb in windows and they could not lock) and the shower was interesting. Great location in town close to everything you need. Coffee good.

It is true what people say, there are a lot of seemingly unnecessary signs but it is also true to say we observed people who had very little common sense and that they were probably necessary. Location is good, close to town and wifi works well assuming you are in the den. Staff are friendly and helpful and if you respect their request (I.e. Follow the signs) you will have a good time.

We chose this hostel for its proximity to the bus station and ferry and for that it was excellent. It is an easy a 5 min walk to the old town. The staff are helpful and the hostel itself is adequate.

We had a wonderful experience at El Galope. It is a relaxing place and professionally run establishment - very clean and the home cooked meals are plentiful and delicious. Monica and Miguel are always there to help but also give you space to relax. Miguel was also very patient with our non-existent horse riding skills. We enjoyed our 3 nights at El Galope. Thanks Monica and Miguel!

This is a very relaxing hostel in a convenient location just back from the centre of Lagoa. Sander is an excellent host with good knowledge not only of the area but also Brazil and Sth America in general. He was also kind enough to drop is at the bus station since he was heading that way already. Note there is no air conditioning in the bedrooms and during our stay it was quite warm and humid. We would recommend this hostel to those looking for a chilled out atmosphere.

Spacious and comfortable rooms with plenty of clean bathrooms and communal areas. Well equipped kitchen. Staff exceptionally helpful and friendly especially Juliana. Location has relative ease to visit falls etc. Only feedback would be directions to the hostel listed could be more specific (ie catch bus 115 from bus terminal. Get off at McDonald and walk one block behind and turn right...) Thanks for a great Falls experience!

We stayed in a 9 bed dorm and it was a little crowded but such is the nature of a 9 bed dorm. People aren't kidding when they say the wifi is bad. It is bad, often infuriatingly so. However the position right on the beach and proximity to the old town is excellent and we had such a relaxing stay we extended it (moving to a 6 bed dorm!)

Ricky and his team are second to none and will always help with a smile. Amazing location a block from Ipanema beach and easy access to all major attractions. We stayed in a 6 person dorm over carnival and it was big with full sized lockers to hold all your stuff and cleaned regularly. Overall vibe was amazing and would stay here again.
