In tegenstelling tot de review op Hostelworld, Onze bedden waren niet verschoond, ik vond zelfs haren in mijne en bloedvlek op laken. Daarnaast werd ons verteld dat we alleen tussen vier en acht uur in de ochtend zouden kunnen douchen omdat de stad een waterprobleem had, , ( had geen ander hostel last van) dan kom je net aan en wil ff lekker opfrissen…. De kamer stonk muf Kortom nee dus, we konden niet douchen en/ of toilet doorspoelen. Vieze bedden en stinkende kamer.

Unlike the review on Hostelworld, Eleven beds were not messy, I even found hair in mine and blood stain on the sheets.In addition we were told that we could only shower between four and eight in the morning because the city had a water problem, (had no other hostel last van) and come just to en wil ff lekker opfrissen....

Other hostels nearby are better! Good security and location, however, breakfast cleaniness and staff could be improved on. Staff wanted to charge 10 soles on checkout day for taking a shower…

Me and the other guys in the room couldn’t fit in the upper beds they wanted us to sleep in They were almost touching the ceiling The building infrastructure or architecture is not slightly as nice of most hostels in Cusco and the guy at the reception was always rude/ passively aggressive when you were asking for something he couldn’t sell to you, possibly making you wait to check in or tell you were the shower was till he almost sold some tour to someone.

Not a good stay. On arrival the host told us that the hostel had no water so we couldn’t shower, use the toilet etc and didn’t provide any water for us to drink (we booked that day so should have been notified). When we were shown to our room it stank of urine and you could hear some sort of rodent above your head, however we were moved to a nicer room. Location isn’t great, hostel is out of the way and the door is down a dark alley. The free breakfast was really good, best part of the sta...

Hostel tres correct. Ambiance plutôt lugubre. C’est assez sombre partout et les lumières sont bien blanches. Le dej était agréable. Le personnel gentil, mais sans plus. Les lits relativement confortables. Tout était bof, mais pas horrible. La cuisine était toujours sale par contre.

Translated to English

Hostel tres correct. Ambience rather grim. It's pretty dark everywhere and the lights are nice and white. The dining was nice. The staff was nice, but nothing more. The beds were relatively comfortable. Everything was nice, but not horrible. The kitchen was still sold out on the other hand.

Nice breakfast, nice room, mostly hot showers, very quiet, good if you want some rest! They let me switch to a nicer room when I asked which was nice, but *very* cold (the majority of the hostel is open air) and the weirdest vibe I’ve ever encountered in a hostel. Unfriendly long term guests that seem to live there, girl at desk hangs out with her friends so you feel like you’re bothering her, front desk empty very often. They clean the rooms like a hotel which is nice but I found forgotten ...

We chose this hostel because of the kitchen that was advertised. Although the kitchen was big it was dirty, full of rotting food and the hob is a two ring camping stove with broken legs. There was no hot water the four nights we were there despite 24 hour hot water advertised, and the dorm rooms were absolutely freezing. The location is ok but you could do a lot better closer to the main square or in San Blas.

No me gusto. El WiFi no servia, el agua para bañarse era fría y aveces super caliente. No había jabón para lavarse las manos en el baño, y el personal era mas o menos.

Estoy muy bien el Hostel, limpia y orden, lo malo que nunca pude conectarme al wifi de mi habitación a pesar que me habían dado la contraseña, no sé si solo yo tuve ese problema o también los demás inquilinos del Hostel , al final solo pude conectarme al wifi de la cocina común y con los demás no hubo ningún tipo de problema.

Loved to stay here. Stayed in 06-bed dorm for 29 S per night, we were only 4 people there. Receptionist Rogier is AWESOME! Best service we’ve gotten in a hostel during this trip. Ok kitchen, Good cleanliness, Great WiFi. Good tours, Great low cost Café-Bar. Nice terraces where you can sit outside. Good location. Recommended for longer stay. Felt safe, good lockers in dorm, also lockers for luggage storage. Our rooms was newly renovated and very fresh.

Nice Unterkunft. Ist eines der wenigen hostels mit Küche. Die Küche war leider nicht sehr sauber. Gekocht haben wir nur easy Sachen. Die Zimmer eigentlich schon. Ansonsten ist das Personal super lieb!

Cheap private room, good to have a kitchen but didn’t feel the cleanest, not a particularly sociable hostel, I was working whilst there but wifi wasn’t the best for video calls and kitchen area was quite noisy (fair enough as it’s not meant to be a coworking space)

Good value-for-hostel, hot showers and 24h reception which was really great and staff was helpful. The private 3-person bedroom was nice but the roof was way too low, you can’t stand over the bed if your taller than 160 cm, and we bumped our heads repeatedly in the bathroom because the roof was so low. Beds are semi-clean with white spots on one of our duvets. Breakfast is terrible (and the service at breakfast not much better) so don’t waste your time or appetite.

I stayed for 10 nights and it was wonderful! The location is very close to San Pedro Market, a 10-15 min walk from Plaza de Armas, but the area is SO CHEAP you can get menu del dia for 7 soles. The only annoying thing was how it took so long to get a working fridge. The kitchen also needs some more pans and stuff, but you can still make it work. Breakfast is nice (bread, fruit, juice, coffee, tea). It's limited to one tray and don’t show up much later than 9am or they may run out of bread.
