The property its high on the hill you need a taxi to reach it, you can walk but will make you tire. Good staff, good breakfasts, nice view from the terrace.

10/10 Exceptional

The property staff was great! They helped to set up transportation to and from the airport based on our flights. Walkable to much of the historic district and shopping and restaurants. The breakfast was good and rooms clean and as described. Great options for day trips that we didn't have enough time to take them up on.

部屋から景色は見えなかったが、上のテラスに上がったらとてもキレイ。飲み物もティーパックがたくさんあり美味しい。部屋はキレイだが、隣や上の階の音が少し気になった。タオルがシミやゴワゴワで残念だった。シャワーは良い。

O Hostel é bem limpinho, confortável, café da manhã bom e pelo valor foi maravilhoso. O James foi extremamente atencioso e acolhedor. Estávamos procurando um passeio e eles nos ofereceu excursões com grande custo benefício. Ficamos muitos felizes e saímos satisfeitos.

A melhor vista de Cusco

Quarto com vista espetacular da cidade de Cusco, café da manhã delicioso, funcionarios muito acolhedores e receptivos, voltaria sim!!

Excellent! The location is perfect, beds are comfortable and clean. The breakfast was delicious and the laundry service was flawless! Would go back in a heartbeat.
Laura, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great staff, every guest who has stayed there is super respectful of early morning schedules and the need for sleep as a lot of hikes and tours start super early. It’s not like a crazy loud party hostel. The breakfast is great, typically with eggs, bread, jam, and coffee or a great tea selection. The view on the balcony is stunning as you can see the almost the whole town.
Emma, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great view of the valley and Cusco from the balcony. San Blas neighborhood is a beautiful location if you don’t mind climbing steps. Also very clean.

10/10 Exceptional

El hotel esta ubicado en el barrio de San Blas, las calles y sus alrededores son muy bonitas y pintorescas, perfectas para salir a caminar y conocer un poco, y hay muchos restaurantes/cafes y boticas cerca. La zona es hasta cierto punto centrica, esta a 10-15 minutos caminando de la Plaza de Armas (principal), a 10 minutos caminando del mercado de San Pedro, a unos 7 minutos caminado a la Piedra de los 12 Angulos, y 20 minutos en carro al aeropuerto. Esta en una calle donde únicamente puedes entrar caminado (por lo que no lo encontraras en foto en google maps), importante considerar que esta cuesta arriba por lo que hay que subir escaleras. El hostel es muy bonito y acogedor, las habitaciones cuentan con agua caliente, incluyen toallas, y radiador que se mantiene encendido desde las 8 pm a 6 am aproximadamente, por lo que cumple con los basicos para tener una estancia comoda. Tienen una terraza con una preciosa vista donde puedes sentarte a desayunar o tomar un té de coca, muña u otros que estan a disposición a cualquier hora del día. Tambien tienen desayunos, siempre sirven huevos revueltos con pan, jugo de naranja y café, y todo esta delicioso. El personal es muy amable y servicial, y tienen una agencia de tours, por si a tu llegada aún no has planeado nada. Definitivamente volvería a quedarme aqui.

Buen lugar para pasar unas noches

Un hostel tranquilo y con hermosa vista, el desayuno es delicioso, la habitación es cómoda. Queda en la parte alta de Cusco por lo que se debe llevar morral en lugar de equipaje de ruedas.

Mi estancia fue buena. Las personas me recibieron y atendieron muy bien. El desayuno muy agradable, la habitación temperada y el agua caliente ni qué hablar, buenísimo. El único detalle es que algunos taxis no querían subir hasta la dirección del hospedaje y había que subir las escaleras.

Una gran vista, un lugar decepcionante

Las áreas.fomunes son limpias pero la habitación muy desorganizada y sucia, el baño con olor a cañería constantemente y sucio. Un día nos dieron el desayuno incompleto porque se les había acabado a pesar de que estábamos dentro de la hora

Worth walking the stairs

Ok you have to walk the stairs for this hostel but then you get to a typical backpacker hostal with a kitchen you can use, free mate de coca and a very helpful man at the desk. He speaks very good english as well. The rooms are small but have a great shower with hot water. They serve a simple but nice breakfast and on the roof you have a great view over Cuzco city.
