We spent the best part of a week in this hostel and were very pleased with it overall. The rooms are very reasonable in comparison with others in the area and the complementary breakfast includes eggs or pancakes.

The staff there were very nice and accommodating and we were able to leave our things locked up there for a couple of days while we went to Machu Picchu. Only nigles were that some attention to detail and a slightly more proactive attitude would improve the customer experience a lot, for example one of the bathrooms was slightly faulty the while time we were there and the lock on out door needed fixing but overall only minor worries.

It´s a bit of a walk up the stairs but the view is great so don't be put off by it!

I absolutely adored this hostel. It is located about a 20 minute walk straight uphill from cusco. I think this is one of the best parts however! The walk definitely helps you get used to the high altitude as many people stay here before heading to the inca trail. We stayed for three days pre-trek and it was time very well spent. Also, being so high up gives you the most romantic and unbelievable view of the whole city. It is quiet and peaceful and looks like you are looking down at the whold world from the balcony right outside the rooms. The staff are fantastic and even took us on a some guided tours of local sites for a very low fee. We loved them! They also cook you made to order eggs every morning with bread and juice and allowed us to store whatever we wanted in their fridge and to use their kitchen to cook at night. For a backpacker on a budget who doesn't plan to spend much time in the room, this place is perfect! But beware, in one sense you get what you pay for, as all backpackers know. The rooms are not the cleanest...but who cares! Put your hiking shoes on and get out there!

High up but worth for the stunning view - just take it easy... you are on holiday, isn't it?!
Because of it's altitude it get's fresh at night and in the morning. It's a basic hostel but with the most friendliest staff i've ever met on my round the world trip. Keep in mind, It's much cheaper to buy bus tkts with the hostel, instead in a travel agency. I made this mistake!

This a very good hostal. We had the private room with the views and it's pretty special. Yeah, you have to walk up to it, thus the work. It is hard work but you then have the views and it's nice and peaceful. it's only 10mins walk to all the bars and restaurants. Stayed here a week!
