Beds are comfortable and Eli, the girl who helps serving breakfast, is an incredible person, she can give you so good recommendations about things to do in Cusco. I unfortunately got bitten by bedbugs here but overall is a good place to stay.

Vibe Analysis
Intro is a Cusco old-house stay with a patio heart: colonial charm, a convenient walk to the main square, friendly staff, included breakfast, and a social scene that can work without going full chaos engine. The sweet spot is pre- and post-trek recovery, with enough common space for chats, tea, mate, restaurant nights, and the occasional salsa lesson. It is not a pure party hostel. The better stays describe it as cozy, clean, helpful, and social in a manageable way, with comfy beds and strong showers showing up as real wins. It suits travelers who want Cusco access and human warmth without needing the bar to become their entire personality. The building and operations have rough edges. Cold evenings in the outdoor common area, basic breakfast, no kitchen/laundry gaps, hot-water misses, sewer smells, and room noise all appear. Recent bed-bug risk are serious enough to check directly before committing.
