Overall a pretty good hostel. Breakfast started later than I was told, so I got a late start to my hike, and 2 of the bathrooms didn’t have toilet paper. Besides that a private room for what I paid is pretty good and the staff was so sweet. I think I was the only person staying there too. I would recommend.

Good hostel for what you need before the Colca Canyon, they let us store our bags and also the breakfast pancakes were nice. Ideal location to walk to straight from the bus

Stayed here two times. One time they forgot my booking. So they sent me to another dirty hotel, but it's all good. Next time I booked with booking and they gave me a room but no key. Promised to give me the key later. Key never came, also no apologies. So my private room was open for everyone . But I would recommend this Hostel still, good Price
