“fine backpacker's place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2012

The guy at the reception desk was funny, he didnt tell us that the main lock in the room is not working and we have to lock with the locker..so we had to open the room like McGyver. There were 15degress inside of the room, but blankets were big enough. Breakfast ok, very clean bathrooms. there is small 'room' in the middle of square with tv and pc, and with cat, which is very friendly. after the checkout you can leave the baggage in baggage space and go to explore the city

“Pirwa”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 8, 2012

Do not notice the bad English, because it is an adapted translation of the Portuguese in the google translator.

The hostel has a very nice, friendly, the staff working there is pretty cool. Apart water from the showers that was not always hot because of the heaters, moreover, all excellent. Take a Cusqueña for me. Enjoy!

“Great place to stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2012

The staff at the hostel are super friendly, they go the extra mile. the dorms and bathrooms are clean. Always hot showers you just got to let it run a bit to warm up.
Was told it gets very noisy at night but have had really quite nights i cant complain. they have an in house tour office who are able to book tours around Cuzco and buses to your next destinations which was great and handy.
Would diffidently recommend to stay here !
Meet alot of interesting people who have given me great advise.

Room Tip: Dorm 12 for eight people.

“Great and affordable for backpackers!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2011

This place was awesome. First of the price you can't beat! It is 2 seconds walk to Plaza de Armas, great location. The accommodations were surprisingly nice, clean and safe considering the price. Yes, there is some music that plays until 2-3am but oh well. Aren't you in Peru for an adventure anyways? Why not go out and experience the fun? Also we had traveled all day to Machu Picchu so we were dead tired and passed out anyways. You also get breakfast vouchers to a place right in plaza de armas which is great. Juice, tea, bread, eggs etc. There is also FREE INTERNET to stay connected if need be!

“Central location, party hostel...hot water avoided me”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2010

Stayed here for a week or so in and around my trip to Machu Pichu. The staff were very friendly and helpful and let me change nights of booking with no problems. Breakfast the usual bread and jam affair - get there early to avoid missing out. All the rooms had individuals lockers but their location, off a central courtyard, meant sleep was often elusive. Not really a problem - it is advertised as a party hostel after all...but with alot of people staying there before 4am Machu Pichu starts perhaps some quieter options may also be good.
Hot water apparently available but despite following all instructions,and even with staff help, it eluded me....others got it though so I think I am just jinxed ;)
On site tour agency which books tickets, trips and other hostels. Not recommended. My tickets were never delivered for bus journey, not for hostels and tours I booked in Puno. Nothing was explained to me and I wasted a lot of time trying to sort out the mess. Simpler to go alone.
