overall very fun and comfortable. Nice Hostel. the Wi-Fi was quick and the location was perfect for exploring the city. everything was super. free kitchen common areas with free hot drinks. games area (pool table). TIP: My friend bought the tour with PeruHop Bus and GettourGuide; both companies were expensive. But the hostel sells it at a reasonable price and they have departures every day. The tour most recommended by travelers is the DayTour with Kayak; it was very nice and easy, and it's wo...

Nice and Big Hostel with games area. central location. Very welcoming place to stay! The owner helped us organise our lake Titicaca, but combined with kayaking (which I felt was one of the better tours we saw). But the tours with GetYourGuide and PeruHopBus were very expensive. I definitely bought it at the hostel for a good price. Stored our luggage before and after the tour. Would definitely stay here again. Good hostel in the center

Je suis arrivée bien malade et toute la famille s’est mobilisée pour m’aider, ils m’ont écouté et proposé d’appeler un médecin si je n’allais pas mieux, des anges. Les parties communes sont propres, la chambre individuelle très confort et il y a de l’eau chaude !

Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Really modern, clean and great facilities. Showers are great, hot and have benches in, even a hairdryer. Dorms have lockers and curtains on beds. Breakfast is really good.

If you are ever in Puno I would definitely recommend. The facilities are good, beds comfy and the staff are really helpful. I felt really safe there due to the front door and the bedrooms being locked.

Je me suis directement senti bien au Kantaya Hostel. Le personnel est vraiment accueillant et la pièce commune est idéale pour rencontrer d’autres backpackers/voyageurs. En plus, l’hostel propose plein d’activités dont la visite des îles Amantani et Taquile. Je conseille d’ailleurs de faire l’excursion en kayak et de dormir une nuit sur Amantani. En bref, je recommande vivement !!

All good! It is a simple hostel but has everything you need. The staff is amazing, especially the lady that works in the mornings. Her pancakes are delicious. They also offer tours which is very convenient.

Facilities were nice and kitchen was fully functional. Free breakfast was good! They have sauna facilities but they didn’t open it during my two day stay. Their terrace was six floors up which was kinda tiring especially if you’re trying to acclimate to the altitude, but it was a fully functional gym as well.

The location is good and staff is very friendly and helpful (thus only Spanish speaking), but the hostel is clearly ageing / decaying and I found the dorm very oppressing.

Good for what it is. Definitely needs a touch up and more storage space. No lockers in the rooms and the ones they do have located outside are tiny. Puno is also meh I stayed for 4 days really only needed 2.
