An easy, no frills hostel that made the first part of our time in Cusco enjoyable. The hosts were very nice and while the room was basic, the private room with bathroom was really all we needed.

It is quite unbelievable that you get such value these days, especially at a tourist hotspot. Hot showers, WiFi, free breakfast, comfortable beds, booking airport transfers etc. They even hold part of your luggage for you if you are traveling elsewhere for a short visit and don't want to lug everything! All for $10/night. If you want full privacy, this is not for you. Else this is a no brainer!

Fraco
No check in, o quarto estava completamente empoeirado. A privada tinha água parada por um bom tempo. No segundo dia melhoraram a limpeza. O chuveiro era muito quente e quando conseguia equilibrar com a água fria, às vezes mudava pra gelado.

Super Comfortable
Stayed in 4 bed room. Such a comfortable and clean bed, powerpoints and light next to each bed, locker for each person. Rooms were cleaned each day and shared showers and toilets were nice and well kept. Breakfast was simple bread and jam. Took a while but very easy to put laundry in at reception - S./5 per kg good price.

Easy and close to everything
The stay was great. They have reasonable and trustworthy airport transfers. Check in was easy. There is always someone at the reception. They even let you store your belongings if you decide to trek to Machu Picchu like I did. I would stay there again!
