Una amiga se quedó aquí y estaba la habitación infestada de chinches!! el trato que le dieron cuando fue a avisar y cancelar su reserva fue bastante desagradable, y lo que le ofrecieron a cambio peor; ya que no le devolvieron el dinero de dos desayunos y le ofrecieron una cena "gratis", es decir ya pagada (los desayunos). Cena en la que le dieron carne cuando ella dijo que es vegetariana!! No recomiendo.

la ubicación Tuve que irme del hostel porque había chinches en mi cama y el personal no fue amable conmigo en esta situación, ni siquiera lo admitieron ni me pidieron disculpas
Vibe Analysis
Viajero Cusco is the big, central, action-heavy option: a huge hostel close to Cusco's historic core, with a bar/restaurant, common spaces, tour help, and something happening most nights. It fits travellers who want a ready-made backpacker orbit - easy intros, group energy, city walks, drinks, and a base that feels alive rather than tucked away. At its best, it has the useful stuff: central location, friendly/helpful staff, comfortable beds in some rooms, safe-feeling luggage storage, clean/newer facilities in parts, and enough common space to find humans after a day of ruins and buses. It is not a tiny homey den. Because the property is massive, the social chemistry can swing between lively and oddly anonymous; the bar can be the scene, but the size can dilute the homey factor. Book it for social fuel, not monk-mode recovery. Noise is a real part of the deal, especially near the bar, reception, street-facing rooms, and big dorms. Cusco gets cold and parts of this open-layout building can feel cold too. It can be a fun launchpad if you like large backpacker ecosystems and late energy. If your tour pickup is painfully early and you need clean sleep, check your room type carefully and keep a backup plan in your brain.
Signals to check
- Noise can run late, especially near the bar, reception, street-facing rooms, and large dorms.
- Some rooms and common areas can be very cold, with little or no heating.
- Bathrooms and water can be inconsistent: too few facilities, cleanliness issues, or weak/cold showers.
- Prices and extras can stack up fast; towels, water refills, breakfast, laundry, tours, and bar/restaurant items have all frustrated travellers.
- Private or micro rooms may not feel private, and room assignments can be messy.
- Keep valuables with you and use lockers carefully; missing-belongings incidents are part of the risk profile here.
