We stayed at this hostel before we left for Machu Picchu, which was a mistake because we got no sleep. Unfortunately, our room was below the bar and they blared out music til 3.30am even though the bar was nearly empty! I wouldn't have minded if the bar was full but when I went to see what was going on... More

To mention it first: this is a huge hostel! So don't expect the nights to be completely calm. This is definitely not true. This said, the place offers giant double rooms with private bathroom. Cleanliness is ok and there is hot water 24 hours a day (with good water pressure). The food and drinks in the bar are decent and... More

Verry central back parkeres hostal in Cusco, Peru. Good service, nice rooms, very friendly and helpful staff. Mainly young guests from Europe, Australia and North America. A relaxed atmosphere in the two court yards and a nice bar at the roof of the complex.

This is really a hostel for sociable travellers, and my friend and I met so many interesting and fun people at Milhouse. The staff are all incredibly friendly, and the bar area is large with lots of music bringing everyone in the hostel, and from outside, together. We met a lot of people who had switched their accommodation to Milhouse... More

There is a small travel agency within the hostel called Bamba or something like that and they offer all kinds of trips around Cusco (alternative Machu Picchu treks, scared vally trips, etc) as well as helping book bus tickets to all over Peru. Not only are their prices very reasonable, but they are more than helpful when it comes to... More

I stayed in milhouse for 2 weeks (excluding 4 days when I went on the inka trail) and I don't have a bad word to say about it. I stayed in a private room with my friend which was really nice. The bar area is great and its really easy to meet people. The location is perfect and there's even... More

My friends and I spent one week in Milhouse Hostel and we got satisfied. Excellent accommodations and location. The room is wide and clean. But the best thing is the staff, from the reception until the bar.

Great staff, very helpful and easy going. Comfortable and silent rooms. Very easy to reach from Plaza de Armas, so you can walk or pay little fees for taxi. I would stay there again, although it was being built when I stood there. Guests from everywhere in the world.

On first impressions this hostel has a lot going for it - central location just off the main plaza, old colonial building, inexpensive, nice common areas and busy bar/restaurant. However, the bedrooms leave a lot to be desired. The double bedroom we stayed in was cold, dark, damp and unwelcoming, and made our 3 night stay quite uncomfortable. The worst... More
