8.6Verified guest“Our stay was fantastic. The staff made us feel completely at home and were always ready to help. They cleaned the room daily and served a standard breakfast with bread, marmalade, butter, and tea or coffee, plus extras like omelettes, fruit with yogurt, and banana smoothies. The kitchen was open all day and there was a fridge for our food. The blankets were warm and plentiful, and they happily brought more when we asked. They also helped with directions and restaurant recommendations. A wonderful spot for tourists, families, or business travelers.”
8.6Verified guest“We really liked the location, just a short walk from Plaza de Armas. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The English spoken here was the best we encountered in Peru. They even stored our bags while we went to Machu Picchu. And the breakfast waffle with fresh bananas and maple syrup was absolutely delicious.”
8.6Verified guest“I stayed a few nights during my trip to Peru. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, letting me store my bags while I went on a hike and tour. Breakfast was tasty with options like pancakes, fresh fruit, and eggs. The beds were comfortable and the showers had strong water pressure. The common room was great for relaxing, with DVDs and a football table. The location was perfect, just a short walk to Plaza de Armas. Excellent value and my favorite of the three hostels I stayed at in Cusco.”

8.6Verified guest“My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The staff were attentive, helpful, and kind. We ended up in a dorm when the private rooms were booked, and we still loved it. The hotel feels like a home with cozy patios to relax on. The peaceful atmosphere and warm showers were a delight. The staff made us feel like family, remembering our names and going above and beyond. Breakfast was excellent, and the tours they arranged were top-notch. I highly recommend this place.”
