The staff are amazing - they all go out their way to help you & make your stay pleasant! Such nice and friendly people. The communal spaces are cool & social. The private rooms are big & spacious. The showers are nice and warm. They let us leave our bags in the luggage room while we went to Machu picchu and when went to the jungle.

Rómulo and Helga were so helpful throughout my entire stay - they personally picked me up from the airport and dropped me to the bus station. Rómulo was especially helpful by leading me personally to the bus terminal where we realised it was the wrong one - he drove me and dropped me personally to the correct one! I would have been lost without him. They always checked on me and made sure my safety (being a solo traveller) was a top priority. They organised all transportation I needed for tours, and provide their own private tours at a competitive price. The property is located in a quiet area within walking distance of many lesser known Inca archaeological sites, notably the Temple of the Moon which is a 5 minute walk away! Rómulo brings all the guests here when they have a chance, and shares his extensive knowledge of Inca/Pre-Incan history. The area is great for hiking and a short walk (approx 15 mins) downhill to San Blas. The rooms are gorgeous, clean and comfortable, with hot bottles provided every night during the cold season. I would definitely recommend this place for first-time travellers to Peru and solo travellers who might be anxious - Rómulo and Helga will definitely put you at ease and make your stay an enjoyable and memorable one.

Everything! Jenny and her family are amazing hosts. The hostel is in a quiet part of cusco just 10 min walk to the main square. A mini market and nice Italian restaurant are also close by. The rooms are huge and the private bathroom too. Everything always spotlessly clean (and even a daily tidy up which was a nice surprise). The breakfast is generous and delicious, served in your room or you can enjoy the alfresco area. Laundry service is well priced and all was returned clean and in full. Jenny speaks perfect English and has lots of knowledge of Cusco. Always ready to help in person or by WhatsApp. We stayed here three times as we based ourselves in cusco. Highly highly recommend.

All hostels in Cusco

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great service, super welcoming, nice breakfast and the perfect budget hostel. Its surrounded by cheap food options and a 5 min walk from the main plaza. Cheap and cheerful. Kevin is really helpful with suggestions and recommendations. Not a party hostel, so be aware, but still had fun and a few nights out with the staff and guests!
