We had a great stay at the Samay Wasi hostel, it was a super central location. Perfect for exploring the city. Shout out to James who looked after us, he went through our travel plans in detail to help us book the best tours to fit in our schedule. Everyone we met was super friendly and it has great views of the city. Would recommend staying here if you’re stopping in Cusco.

Thought this was a great place to stay. Only qualms I had was the hill we had to walk up everytime we left town and the heater barely working. The nights got very cold. Nice quiet place overall though.

Only stopped for one night so don’t have a huge amount. To say. Room was ready before check in so that was helpful. Kept our bags for free whilst we did the machu pichu trek - another win. Room felt slightly damp and the shower was not great

It was a great place to stay. The daytime staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious. Beautiful views of Cusco. It was in a nice area, but I gave less than a 10 for the location because it is up higher in the hills and was challenging to get to when acclimating. That said, I got my steps in and it was definitely worth the stay!

My stay at the hostel was amazing. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We arrived very early from an over night bus and they let us store our bags and had the room ready earlier for us. They also let us keep our bags there when we did our Salkantay hike. The room was very clean, hot showers with good pressure and the view from the room was beautiful. The hostal is in San Blas great for food and cafes. The hostels cats were also super friendly.

Such a cozy place. I dont know about the dorms but the private rooms were perfect. Very clean as well. Kitchen is very small, thats my only critique. Staff was super friendly they could help with everything

Quiet hostel, more of a hotel with 2 dorm rooms so don’t expect a lively atmosphere. Dorm rooms are comfortable but really cramped!

Nice location over looking the town from the roof terrace. We stayed in a cozy little room, showers were hot, and there was tea available all day in the common room.

Amazing hostel. James and all the other staff were so kind to me when I got Salmonella. They even organised a doctor to come to the hostel and let us stay longer than we’d booked with no trouble. Great kitchen, lovely view, cosy rooms and a really nice family feel. Perfect for a relaxing stay in Cusco after big hikes. Thank you!

Struttura fantastica! Abbiamo pernottato qui tre giorni e poi altri due giorni di ritorno dal Salkantay Trek. Abbiamo avuto la possibilità di lasciare alcune delle nostre cose in un locker durante il trekking. James ci ha aiutati nell’organizzazione di alcune escursioni nei dintorni di Cusco e si accurava sempre che fosse andato tutto bene. Terrazza con vista panoramica della città e the caldo sempre a disposizione. Plus: gattini super carini 😍

Primera vez en Cusco y debo decir que hice muy buena elección de hostel. Samay Wasi es un lugar muy acogedor que te hace sentir en casa. Ambiente cálido, tranquilo, buen desayuno, áreas comunes muy agradables y limpieza diaria. Bien ubicado en una zona muy bonita y bohemia de la ciudad. Accesible a los lugares de interés y el transporte. Gracias Sorita, Paulina, Eddy, James, Martin, Cristian, Henry por su amabilidad atenciones y servicio. Me llevo un pedacito de Cusco conmigo. Hasta pronto!...

The view is incredible and the best place to spend the evenings and morning. No more than 10 mins away from the city center and the hike up is good practice for later anyway. Tea is available 24/7. I wish there was filtered water but they sell the large bottles for the best prices I saw anywhere in Peru. Had a private room which was comfy and quiet with plenty of hot water.
