My stay here was exceptional, mainly due to the great hospitality of the owners, who are both very warm and kind people. Romulo has a passion for history and gave me an impromptu guided tour of the very nearby Inca trail and some key sites along the way. The location is excellent, within walking distance of downtown Cuzco but above all the noise, right next to an important park with the Temple of the Moon and other historic sites. My room was large and comfortable, breakfast was great, I was given a hot water bottle every evening. Highly recommend!

It is very close to the city center and San Pedro station. The staff is very helpful and super kind :) Regy (I hope I wrote it right) helped me a lot with everything. It was especially nice that he made me tea when I was affected by the high altitude, I felt like I was at home :) The accommodation also has a restaurant. They offer many delicious options at affordable prices. The hostel also has a perfect city view :)

Hands down the best hostel I've been in out of Europe and Latin America! Very comfortable in both room and people! It's a great building and at least half of the people working were volunteers (worked for their lodging there), which means they were especially helpful and friendly! Special shout out to Ana Paula, who was very welcoming and helpful! Wifi very strong throughout. The hostel organizes great nightly events with a wonderful relaxed and fun atmosphere--cannot recommend enough! This is the place to stay in Cusco :D

Jose offered me a free upgrade with a private bathroom in a girls-only room! Excellent for a night of rest and above all I was worried that I was alone with girls, I loved their friendliness, the hostel is nice, it has a kitchen which is a great advantage, a few blocks from the historic center of Cusco

We had a wonderful stay at Magic Packers hostel. They were flexible with the check-in and check-out time, as we arrived early in the morning and left late afternoon. The property is clean and nice, we had to skip breakfast but tried once and it was enjoyable. The staff is extremely kind and they helped us book some day trips around Cusco.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great service, super welcoming, nice breakfast and the perfect budget hostel. Its surrounded by cheap food options and a 5 min walk from the main plaza. Cheap and cheerful. Kevin is really helpful with suggestions and recommendations. Not a party hostel, so be aware, but still had fun and a few nights out with the staff and guests!
