Ótimo Custo x benefício

As pessoas do hotel são excelentes, muito solícitas, profissionais, fazem de tudo para que tenhamos uma ótima estadia no local. No período que tivemos hospedados, houveram alguns imprevistos como água não esquentando , mas rapidamente nos trocaram de quarto e tudo se resolveu. Ah, internet não é muito boa.

Excellent location but you get what you pay for. The staff seems like they’d prefer you weren’t there, and the hostel was very very quiet the Saturday night I stayed there. Ok if you just need a base to go for expeditions from, but I’d recommend paying a bit more and staying elsewhere.

Estancia de adaptación en Cuzco para Treking

La habitación con baño privado es mejor si no quieres compartir baños. El mal de altura nos afecto. La hoja de coca es diurética y la muña nos sentó mejor. El desayuno es básico. Parece muy habitual que la gente se despierte muy temprano para empezar sus rutas. En las habitaciones que estuvimos también se oía el tráfico, aunque no era muy intenso. Estuvimos muy agusto y en la recepción nos atendieron muy bien. Nuestra estancia fue antes y después de ir a Machu Picchu por el camino de Salkantay.

Room with private bathroom

Smelt so bad of mildew could not stay there. They did get me into another of their motels and it was nice. The shared facilities is a better option at this place I think. Would be fine if they did something about the smell.

Stay a way from this hostel!!!

This was the worst hostel I stayed in while traveling on South America . Nothing was clean, wifi was horrible, and the staff were not good to say the least . If I could give you one pace of advice do not stay here. Plus the music was super load from 9 pm till 1 am then at 7 they would blast it again . Worst experience of my life.

Très joli hotel dans son style colonial... une équipe accueillante et disponible ! Le manque de chauffage dans les chambres peut être un bémol surtout pendant les mois d'hiver !!

Party time!

If you need a good night,s sleep, this is not for you. If you like beer pong, loud music all night, and fussball tables, then the money is right. Hot water all night, great location by the San Francisco church, slightly less noisy than the Main Square.

Buen hostal para estancias cortas

Hostal muy básico así que si eres viajero este es un buen lugar para pasar la noche y conocer gente. El personal no es nada amable (raro en Perú) pero mientras hagan su trabajo no importa. El precio es lo mejor del lugar!

Good value. Good location

Lots of people smoking in the common area so we left and hung out at Starbucks. Showers hot but the bathrooms cold due to the open area of the hostel.

it is a backpackers hostel

Hostel is fine if you are a backpacker, although the quality of the beds could be better. We took one of the private ensuite rooms and yes everything was there. The location is very good but don't expect any luxury.

Good location. Right on the Plaza San Francisco and about a block or two from the main Plaza de Armas. We had a private room with a bathroom which was nice, so I'm not sure what the dorms were like, but the main areas were pretty good.
