Ukukus Hostel

Pros: Rony, the owner, and his staff were very helpful. They arranged the Salkantay Trek, Rainbow mountain, Inti Punku and the Sacred Valley tour during our stay at Ukukus. Prices were really fine, just as the (basic) accomodation. Perfect hostel to explore Cusco and around.

Cons: /

A beautiful place to stay

Pros: Beautiful terrace and kitchen area and great location, wonderful staff, good value

Cons: Quite cold

Amazing experience

Pros: My experience was amazing, I love it the place really cool and chill out, perfect to make your stuffs. The staff are really kind and respectful 🙂 and they help and support me all the time in my crazy adventure. I really highly recommend the hostel.

Helpful staff, great internet and heating

Pros: On request they gave us a portable heater to use in the room which very effective. We enjoyed the free hot water and tea selection. The wifi was amazing, we got over 100mbps down and up in our room! The staff were all very friendly. We had some trouble organising a refund in Spanish on a website and the receptionist helped us for an hour to solve it and was extremely patient and kind.

Cons: The shower temperature only remained constant for a minute or so then became very cold or very hot. The kitchen area surfaces weren’t very clean.

They organized and coordinated all the tours

Pros: They organized and coordinated all the tours and the buses. Very helpful. The kitchen is great for cooking our own meals.

Cons: You cannot buy a bottle of water at the recepcion.

Pros: Mercedes was extremely helpful in every way! Perfect hot showers & lovely beds too.

Good hostel with nice rooftop to relax.

Pros: We stayed in different hostels in Cusco, but this was the best one. Friendly staff, nice rooftop to relax, you can cook dinner, luggage storage, good beds, location to city center is 5-10 minute walk, safe and quiet area.

Cons: I do not like it that the clean sheets do not cover the blanket, but you see that a lot in Peru. We stayed in total 4 nights, and most of the time we had warm shower, but not always.

Lovely calm hostel with great showers

Pros: Lovely little hostel in a nice quiet part of town. I'm an older solo-traveller so was not looking for a party hostel. This place was calm, well put together, and had lovely rooms. After having travelled for several weeks I was also very grateful for the always-hot and powerful shower. Truly a blessing! And the staff were very kind, looking after my bags which I visited Machu Picchu for a couple of days, and arranging an early morning taxi to the airport for me.

Cons: The rooms were a little dated, and parts of it hadn't been cleaned particularly well. The blankets on the bed were very stained, but had clearly been washed/pressed so they weren't dirty, just not exactly appealing to sleep with.

If you want a good sleep this is the place

Pros: A good night sleep on comfortable beds. The staff are really friendly

Cons: It’s a bit of a walk to the centre. And this isn’t really a place to meet people as it’s so quiet. The kitchen is very basic and people steal food from the fridge even though it’s labelled

Nice place to stay while you’re in Cusco!

Pros: The hostel is located near the market in a less touristy part of town (but be aware it’s a 10-15 min walk to the plaza). The staff were so friendly and helpful. The dorm room was spacious and felt secure. The beds are comfy and for the most part the shower was hot. There is a storage room to leave bags if you’re hiking.

Cons: The kitchen is not very well equipped and there is occasionally a water issue. They could also do with restocking toilet paper/soap/matches more often.
