The owners - Helga and Romulo - are some of the most loving and helpful people I met during my travels. Even when I lost my purse and passport they did everything to help me to get it back, which I did eventually. I really liked the location, quiet and very close to nature and the ancient sites. Romulo even gave me a little tour around the sites. They also gave me a hot-water bottle every night because it was a bit cold. Two super lovely humans. Thanks so much, would definitely coming back!

Our host was absolutely amazing! She was so kind to let us store our bags while we were doing our Salkantay trek and then again she took care of our bags while we went to the Amazon! Rooms are very clean! WiFi works very well for those who are working and traveling! Breakfast includes fruits, jam, coffee, bread and egg.

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

Best hostel i’ve stayed at (and i’ve stayed at many). Super clean, beautiful, nice atmosphere (calm and serene in most common places but fun and lively at the bar area). So nice that they give you a breakfast box if you have to leave in the middle of the night for tours. All staff members were so nice - Monique and the guy who worked the reception in the night during my stay (forgot his name) were especially friendly and helpful!

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

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!
