Awesome stay in Cusco! Love it
Pros: The location is good, just a few minutes walk you get to the plaza. The dorm room is nice and clean. There is a small kitchen that can be used, which is great for a long-term stay. The owner/manager, he is super nice to welcome every traveler. I can not speak Spanish, for me it is a bit difficult to communicate with locals, and he, and is his staff is really friendly to help me with assistance. One night I was sitting outside using my laptop under cold temperatures, the owner asked me I could go indoor cuz it was cold. I told him that it should be fine, then in the next 5 minutes his staff delivered a blanket to me! (How touching it was!)
Cons: There is only one thing, but it was not negative, it was mainly my problem since I can not speak Spanish:( . I asked to extend the night, but i guess the language barrier still a small problem to misunderstanding between the staff and me. It ended up I was told it will be full the next day, so I booked somewhere else. But the next day when I went back to take my bags, the owner asked me if I still needed to stay one more night( since I extended once before already XD) Otherwise, I would love to just stay at the hostel for my whole trip in Cusco!

Pros: I had a wonderful time at Auquis Hostel, the manager Lessandro is great, so helpful with everything, kind and thoughtful. The dorms don't even look like dorms, the beds are big and comfortable and individual which really gives everyone some privacy. I loved it. The location is great too, close to everything. Also has an amazing view of Cusco. The showers have hot water which is a big plus in Cusco weather. I highly recommend it and I hope I'll come back one day!
Cons: Nothing!

Convenient location with great view of city
Pros: Auquis was a little gem of a place. Well located (walking distance from city centre, but far enough so we are not bothered by noise), cosy environment, extremely clean (Lisandro, the manager, was busy organising the hostel all day long) and lovely staff. Because our bedroom was already free when we arrived, they allowed us to check in early.
Cons: We stayed 2x in the hostel. One of the bedrooms didn’t have a window. Also, the shower water lost a bit of pressure when multiple people were having a shower.

Pros: We love Auquis Hostel! Hanging out in the sun drenched courtyard on a rest day with the panoramic views has been a delight. Lisandro and his team are constantly cleaning and it is spotlessly clean. The showers are powerful and hot. The rooms are simple but at this price we are more than happy. Great for families, couples and chilled out groups.
