“Comfy, cute stay in Cusco”
This is a really chill hostel with a great bunch of girls running it. I was the only girl in the room on my day so a big bonus. Comfy beds, lights sockets. Cute small breakfast. Hot water in the shower which was a plus. 12 check in was helpful. Really great for such a low price. Super fast WiFi. 10 minute walk into town and a 5 min cab from airport ( 10 soles using the INDRIVE app)

A short walk to the ancient centre from a safe, quiet neighbourhood. Praxis, the main host, was very attentive and helpful. The hostel itself was very comfortable

The hostess was lovely. She really made me feel like family. I always felt welcome. The bedding was really clean and smelled nice. I loved that the bed had a curtain. If I ever go back to Cusco, I'll definitely stay here.

“To be honest, that was best hostel in my life”
I'm Japanese and stayed here for about ten days. I originally planned to stay for three days, but it was so comfortable that I extended it to seven. The view from the hotel is beautiful. I don't know the correct spelling, but Pracsy and Karen are very kind and polite. They carefully clean the hostel every day. I asked them a lot of questions, such as recommended restaurants and no-fee ATMs, and they always answered them promptly and politely.

“Came back here again and again”
Such a lovely place ran by a family. The place is very clean, beds are comfy, dorm beds have curtains and there are lockers, private room is very cosy as well. They have heaters in the rooms since it gets cold at night during the rainy season. There are plenty of bathrooms for everyone. They store your bags while you do trekking in a safe room. Overall a very good bargain for the price.

“Amazing place in Cuzco to stay and relax”
Great hostel, close to everything and in a quiet area. I was in two different rooms and both were very nice. Super clean, comfy and warm beds, curtains in each bed to keep your privacy. Hot water showers. Amazing staff, always helpful, friendly, lovely and good vibes. You feel like in home. Also great breakfast but if you like to cook the kitchen is complete. I booked with them “ 7 lagoons and Montaña de Colores” beautiful tours , 100% recommended. Thank you so much Xplora, I wish to comeback soon.

Location at the tail end of Cusco, a bit away from the overpriced centro historico, but within walking distance. The beds have privacy curtains. The girls working at the reception are really nice.
