In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Warm, helpful staff — Guests consistently mention the friendly and accommodating team, from arranging pickups to handing out heaters on request.
- Quiet yet central location — Sitting between the historic center and San Blas, it's within walking distance of the main square and ChocoMuseo, but tucked away from street noise.
- Great value for money — With a value rating of 8.3 and prices from £16, guests feel the included breakfast, free coca tea and amenities are worth it.
- Excellent facilities — A shared kitchen, TV room, terrace and garden furniture earned a perfect 10 facilities rating — a standout for a hostel.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No private bathrooms in some room types — Dorms and the standard twin share bathroom facilities; only the Classic Twin and Triple have private bathrooms.
- Comfort rating is lower than other categories — At 7.5, comfort is the weakest score, which may reflect basic rooms and shared facilities rather than any major flaw.
- Check-in is limited to daytime and evening — Reception is 24-hour, but check-in is only from 12:30 to 23:59. If you arrive late, you'll need to plan ahead.
- No on-site parking — There's no parking listed, which is typical for a central Cusco hostel. You'll likely need to walk or use taxis.

8.3Verified guest“A fantastic stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere great, and the included breakfast was amazing with plenty of choice. Location was convenient with shops and restaurants just a short walk away. I highly recommend it.”
8.3Verified guest“Super comfy beds and incredibly nice staff. They opened early and stored our luggage. The location was brilliant — close to the city center and San Blas but away from the noise. Steve at reception arranged our pickup and was amazing. Rooms were basic but clean, with plenty of blankets for chilly nights. The second-floor lounge was cosy for watching Peru football. It was tucked away on a quiet street, guaranteeing a peaceful sleep. Great breakfast, perfect location, and the staff even gave us a heater when we asked. A simply awesome stay.”
