Great hostel in San Blas
This is a great little hostel with mostly older adults (meaning it is NOT a party place. It is in the San Blas barrio mostly away from the noise and ubiquitous hawkers that plague the Plaza de las Armas. Good variety of restaurants near by with a nice little bar up from the Plaza San Blas called Km.O. Nighly live music of uneven quality. Older crowd. Smitty at the front door is funny and can direct you the sister restaurant that has excellent food.I recommend asking for an upstairs room because when I was in 101, I could hear every creaky step of those above. Staff generally is great and the breakfast is just ok. Eggs come with breakfast regardless of whether the staff offers them or not. I would stay here again for the location, charm of the street and the hostal, and the clean rooms. Not the cheapest hostal though.

Excellent stay
The room was very clean and well decorated and we always had a cleaning service. They were always ready to help at any hour, even when we had tours very early in the morning. They prepared our lunch box for the day. Nice and quiet neighborhood. I recommend this place 100%!

A Comfortable and Welcoming Option in Old Cusco
The staff are really sweet there and the deal is wonderful for what you get. I thought the place was very comfortable - the beds were nice, the rooms were warm, and the hot water was perfect. The location is a very short walk from Plaza de Armas and surrounded by great restaurants in San Blas. I really couldn't complain at all and would definitely go back on my next trip.

We loved this hotel. My daughter (in her twenties) said she was in heaven. Definitely the best of our trip so far. Its not luxury and if you are looking for perfection this isn't it. However, if you want comfort, character and the friendliest and most helpful staff you can't do much better than this. Especially at this price. Loved it. Thanks.

Loved the location in San Blas. The staff tried to help with everything despite our lack of common language. They were extremely accommodating with our eating limitations. Git our laundry done. Booked our tours and taxis as needed.

2/10 Poor

The worst. the air conditioner from next building is up against the wall making my room sound like a jet taking off. They did move me to a room down stairs where I didnt have to hear the air conditioner as much only to discover that there is zero sound dampening in the floor so you can hear every word spoken by the unit above not to mention every foot step on the hardwood floor sounding like a rifle. And, o yes, if you want to come here realize the street number is out of synch, so your taxi won't take you there and you can carry your bags on your own for the last couple of blocks. Plus there are zero windows in any of the rooms. The price of this place is the price of a

4/10 Fair

Moved Halfway Through Stay
The good: - continental breakfast was good and sufficient with fresh eggs cooked if desired. Also willing to make you a to-go breakfast if you’re leaving early. - Great location, easy walking distance to Plaza De Armas (main square) - Clean for the most part - easy, inexpensive laundry service Now the bad... - Shower only warm if taken during off-hours (10am-1pm). Always cold if taken in the evening. - They made us move rooms halfway through our stay even though they told us they wouldn’t when we checked in (6 day stay, as we were checking-in another guest who was leaving to go to another hotel had the same issue) - WiFi only worked about half the time and we had to frequently request it be re-set.

Great hotel/hostel with private bathroom
Reasonably close to main tourist sites. In the walkable part of the old city. Safe area. Good eats nearby. (There is a great vegan restaurant 7 minutes down the street.) Very helpful staff. Room was a bit cramped, but beds were excellent, and a good value for the price. Comfortable private bath with good sized shower. Clean. Nice breakfast.

Economical option in Cusco
The room was not spacious, but sufficient, and comfortable and a great value for the price. They made us sack breakfast for our 4:30 AM departure. And start our bags for four days until I return. A great choice in Cusco. On a typically historic street.

great staff, beds very confortable!!
staff very friendly and always there to help you. Beds are amazing, they all have orthopedic matresses so they are really confortable!! they kept our bags during the 5 days of the Salkantay trek even if we didn't have a room with them after the trek (we wanted but hotel was full). breakfast is good. at the end of a street, so a little far from the center, but less noisy!

Comfy hotel in a great location
This is a great little hotel. The room is comfortable, the staff is nice and the breakfast is great! My only complaint is that we could hear everyone walking around on the floor above us. That is only an issue if the people are waking up at 2am for the Rainbow Mountain tour. Other than that, this place is great!
