Cusco hostels

Pros: Great location, close to the city center/main square. Super friendly Staff and always open to help you. We stayed in a private room, which was clean, big and with all the necessary facilities like hairdryer and towels.

Pros: I like it so much! Stay there 3 times in 3 week and I will be back again! They kept my luggage while i was on the road!

Pros: Staff very friendly and helpful. Very good location to go anywhere.

Pros: Just nice for a one night stopover!

Cons: May get noisy in the night!

Pros: Loved it here. There are various little snugs around the hostel where you can chill/read/sleep. Wifi is good, bar & food are good. Beds are comfortable and showers are clean when you can get in one

Cons: A stranger had snuck into my dorm and got into my bed and when i complained to the staff they threw him out and said it was a one off. However i met this girl who told me it happened a week before so....

Pros: Breakfast is excellent. Lots of bathrooms/showers. Excellent location. Good WiFi. Bar food is very good.

Cons: Bit noisy when the bar is busy

Pros: The attention of the staff was excellent. My husband and I loved the place so much that we even decided to stay in a dorm when there were no more private rooms left (when he last minute decided to extend our stay). The staff is helpful, kind and generous. They have excellent tours as well. Breakfast is great. The hotel feels like a home, and there are also nice patios to relax. It is very peaceful, and there are nice warm showers too! Once again the staff is excellent and are helpful in every way! I highly recommend this hotel!

Pros: I had an excellent time at Recolecta's hostel, the house is big and nice decorated style, good wifi and facilities. The staff is really helpful with all the knowledge to look around Cusco in a safe way. Very clean and delicious breakfast. I will return again!!

Pros: The location of this place was great, only a short walk to the Plaza de Armas! The staff were quite friendly and helpful. The English spoken here was maybe the best I encountered at our lodgings in Peru. They let us store three bags while we went to Machu Picchu which was nice. For our breakfast, they fixed a waffle topped with fresh bananas and maple syrup! That was yummy!

Cons: The room was a little dark and the private bathroom was across the hall.

Pros: The staff are very friendly

Cons: Floor boards creaking

Pros: Spacious, very friendly staff.

Pros: Convenient location only about ten minutes walk to the main square, very helpful staff, they let us into our room at 8am after a long night bus which was much appreciated! They also let us store our bags while we did Machu Picchu. I recommend this place for a good value, convenient stay.

Cons: It’s a minor thing but the shower door didn’t work properly so the bathroom floors were often covered with water after someone showered. Make sure to wear shoes in the bathroom and all is good!

Pros: Excellent location, pretty much walkable to all places. It's about 10 min walk from Plaza De Armas. Pretty good twin room for the price.

Pros: Comfortable and clean beds. Warm blankets. Toilets were always clean and dry. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Near main square. 10mins walk.

Cons: Intermittent hot water and wifi connection

Pros: The staff at reception were extremely friendly and helpful and around 24/7. They all spoke excellent English. Our room was tidied daily and we got fresh towels on our fourth day without asking. The location of the hostel is also very central and the communal areas are really nice. We booked a double room but got a quadruple so had lots of space. The pricing of the rooms is very reasonable and fair. You pay for what you get.

Cons: The room and bathroom were very basic and not entirely clean. The room gets pretty cold and didn't have a proper window. There were ants in our room and shower. Hot water is limited and runs out very fast so we sometimes had to wait a few hours before one of us could shower. The lady at breakfast was very unfriendly and outright refused requests without explaining why. Breakfast is also one of the most basic ones we have had: just bread with jam and some fruit. No eggs no cereal no coffee (even when we asked).

Pros: Bar

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nice staff, cool bar/chill area, open outside areas to chill

Pros: 1) Very helpful and accommodating staff (e.g. we arrived early and they were able to allow us to check into our room several hours early, which was a big help) 2) Superb location just blocks away from Plaza de Armas, directly across the street from a super-fast and super-cheap place that will do your laundry for you by the kilo, and also in the same block as Wayki Travel with whom we were doing a 4-day trek (so very useful for us) 3) Some very charming interior courtyards 4) Lots of information available on area restaurants and attractions, including discounts they've negotiated for those who stay there (including at the incredible and upscale Marcello Batata restaurant) 5) Very solid wifi -- it's only supposed to work in the courtyards and public spaces, but we were able to pick it up in most parts of our room because we were right on the courtyard, so that was a plus 6) Luggage storage (we needed to leave our for 4 days because of a trek and it was no problem) 7) 24-hour security (which also meant 24-hours luggage check-in and check-out) 8) Tea available at no charge at all hours in reception

Cons: 1) Water in rooms not potable -- have to buy bottled water yourself (though they can sell you their own branded bottled water at a very reasonable price) 2) In order to pass through the 24-hour security, you have to have a wristband you wear throughout your stay. I know that others hostels in Cusco do this, so it's not unique to this one, but your little wristband marks you as a tourist everywhere you go (if it wasn't fairly obvious already). 3) Our private room was right on the entry courtyard. While convenient, there was one night when a huge group of young travelers all checked in at once and then held an impromptu gathering in the courtyard and kept it going past the sanctioned "quite time" (10pm I think). Might've been a lot of fun if we were 20 years old and didn't have to get up super-early the next morning. 4) As with many establishments in Peru (and some very nice ones in some developing countries), the plumbing requires you to deposit used toilet paper in a trash can beside the toilet rather than in the toilet. Not a huge deal, but if you're not used to this sort of thing, be prepared. 5) Not a ton of plugs or furnishings in the room to help you organize your things, charge your devices, etc. Similar situation with bathroom and shower. 6) Bed was reasonable, but not the most comfortable. 7) Noise: There was a water pipe running through the wall next to our bed that made it sound like a waterfall every time someone took a shower or flushed a toilet (to the point where we started to get paranoid that their might be a leak somewhere -- there wasn't) and the noise from the streets and the courtyard really invaded the room. Also, the glass in our door and transom rattled loudly every time a truck went by. 8) Shower had very poor drainage. It was up to our ankles after a normal length shower. 9) No in-room safe, but they did provide a series of lockers in the common area that you could attach your own bad lock to. If you happened to have thought ahead to bring a padlock, it was very convenient and safe. 10) Temporary: There was major construction going on while we were there so a lot of the usual features were not available. For example, breakfast was crammed into the bar and many daily events (e.g. karaoke) did not take place. One major complaint I had about how this was handled however was that on our last night, someone decided it was a bright idea to have workers move in massive stacks of bricks STARTING AT 4:30AM. As we were right on the courtyard where this was happening, we were awoken by it and could not get back to sleep. That's something that could and should have been avoided.

Pros: This is my second time staying at Millhouse. It is a clean and fun place to stay. Location is great.

Cons: I know you do have group games at the bar (last time I was involved in one) but have them more often. Also, don't expect guest to make it fun, it is up to the bartenders and other employees to make it fun. A good example is Wild Rover in Huacachina. The staff makes it fun and guest follow.

Pros: they provide tea to address altitude sickness at the reception

Cons: Maybe our room was just bad... but it was dark and freezing cold. there were blankets to keep warm, but they were kind of lumpy and weird. the light in our room stopped working on the 2nd day, had to tell the reception twice before anyone came to fix it. They were strangely stingy with toilet paper, had to go back 3 times, and each time they gave me a limp skinny half roll. When i finally questioned it they gave me a 2-pack set. Breakfast was pretty crappy - i ended up buying ala carte quinoa pancakes (which were really good, but still) The worst part was the travel desk - the guy and the girl were both disinterested, unhelpful, and never around. Overall, unless youre really really down to party at night (the parties sounded lively), id pick another place. At this price point you can get a lot better value for money.

Pros: Nice staff, well located close to Plaza de Armas and good offering of tours

Cons: Shouldn’t charge for the use of showers considering turist come back late from the tours and it is easier to do check out before

Pros: Very good location and friendly staff

Cons: There are no hooks to put your towels.

Pros: Great location right off Plaza de Armas, hot showers with great pressure and in a decent sized bathroom, big comfortable beds with curtains and warm blankets. Staff were super friendly and helpful and let me relax after check out as I had a late bus that evening.

Cons: My only complaint is that one of the roofers (work was being done at the time) came into the room and was quite loud speaking to someone else, but he left as soon as he saw me. Also a little weird that he came into the guest room.

Pros: Staff were great - very friendly, super clean & location is amazing.

Cons: Nothing- great hostel :)

Pros: The staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful...it felt very homey being there and fabulous location too.

Pros: Everything else is good

Cons: If you are sensitive to banging house music and screaming drug fuelled kids keeping you awake till 5am you will be fine. For anyone else that wants to sleep then you should avoid this place

Pros: Super location and beds are amazing confortable a shears are super clean , great covers for the cold

Pros: N/a

Cons: This hostel was closed by the police.

Pros: Comfy beds, good lockers, friendly atmosphere.

Cons: Wifi doesn't work in the dorms and the toilets could be cleaned more often.

Pros: I came here as a solo traveller and all of the Loki staff made me feel so welcome from the moment I walked in. I stayed here two weeks and I'm sad to have left today. Emi is the BEST and upgraded my room for my last few nights! I booked my Machu Picchu tour with Loki and the tour was very organised and professional. I loved the Loki jungle hostel! I also stayed in Wild Rover up the road which was cool, but I would 100% reccomend Loki every time. Personally I thought the night life, staff, facilities and rooms were much better in Loki which is why I moved back there after one night away.

Cons: NOTHING

Pros: Nothing at all.

Cons: They were not serious and they were closed when we went there.

Pros: Great staff, yummy food and amazing value

Pros: Everything is great.

Cons: Everything is amazing.

Cons: We made our reservation 1 room 4 $ but they bought us $ 9.

Pros: Very clean and comfortable

Cons: You will climb a lot of stairs

Pros: Very nice place to stay for few nights, good localization, friendly staff.

Pros: The breakfast

Cons: They don t change everyday the sheet of the bed when the people check out. I was on the room and saw their technique cleaning: they just put some fresh spray on the bed and make the bed again with out changing. If you want to leave your bag you have to pay too per day.

Pros: There was a bed to sleep in

Cons: Be prepared for no running water throughout the day and night, purchase and use your own TP, and your bed may be sold to someone else who pays cash upfront.

Cons: i couldn't use the hostel... was closed at the time I arrived and nobody answered the knocks and bell.
