Beautiful views and close to San Blas

Pros: There was an amazing view over Cusco from my room! (I was staying in a big double room with it’s own toilet.) Nice hot shower. Close to cozy San Blas. Friendly staff.

Cons: It is very cold in the room and the bathroom, so make sure to bring a base layer and flip flops. Also, the hostel is located on top of a hill. Be prepared to walk a lot.

Pros: Stayed for more than 3 weeks on and off while going trekking around Cusco. It was our home away from home. We had an amazing experience with the family owning the hostel! Would highly recommend it!

Pros: Very clean and comfortable. Lovely Breakfast and an awesome location. Edgar was incredibly helpful and Karan helped with information for Machu Pichu organisation as we did not have tickets booked in advance.Nice hot shower. Baggage storage was great while at Machu Pichu. We arrived early on bus from Copacabana and Edgar welcomed us and let us check in very early. Fabulous all round stay.

Great value for money, be aware at the top of a steep hill and generally won't get dropped outside

Pros: Comfortable beds, friendly host, hot shower, great luggage storage, location is good and bad - close to plaza de armas but up a very steep hill to get there

Cons: Front door was annoying as had to ring the bell and wait for the host which was 5 minutes at times (although does mean the property is really secure for luggage storage). Drivers for taxis and trips wouldn't pick us up at hotel due to location (up a very narrow and steep street).

Great location, friendly staff, and good food

Pros: The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. It’s a 10-minute walk to the Plaza de Armas, so the location is nice and quiet — although you do have to walk uphill, it’s definitely worth it. You also have the option to enjoy simple and affordable delicious meals at the hostel.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful owners, helped us with booking tours and finding our way around the city. It’s a steep road up the hill, but the view makes up for it.

Lovely place to stay in Cusco.

Pros: We stayed here twice (before and after the salkantay track). It's a lovely little hostel, with cute & good breakfast, the opportunity to easily lock your things during the time of the track, nice rooms and a super nice service of the owner. The prices are more then fair so I highly recommend staying here. It's a little bit uphill of the histrical town, but totally worth to walk up the little hill. There are some good restaurants directly around (e.g. \
