Very cute lady with her little daughter running the airbnb, it's like a house not a hostel, with warm showers and good pressure. I would come back. I would only recommend to make the breakfast just a little bigger, now it was just bread with jam and coffee or tea.

Could use an update overall! But staff was nice and our room was huge. If I could leave any tips it’s throw away the throw blankets on the end of the bed and use pillow protectors.

we had one of the suits and it was more or less okay. unfortunately the showerhead and the bathtube where extremely dirty. the showerhead was covered in mould and dirt and there where lying multiple dead ants in the bathtube. we didn't shower then but reported to the receptionist (who was most of the time asleep). the next thing was, that the emloyees where having lunch-break and could not give us a propper check in. but why are there check in hours from 1pm on? made no very good impression.

An amazing small hostel in the heart of San Blas with some amazing cafés closeby and the most amazing hostel staff. If I ever come back to Cusco it will be to this place for sure

Je recommande cet hostel, tout était parfait!! Le lieu très propre, calme pour bien se reposer, le lit très confortable, la douche chaude, un bon petit déjeuner… Le seul hic était que la cuisine manquait un peu d’ustensiles.. mais était quand même pratique pour se faire des bons petits plats! Un grand merci à Miriam pour sa gentillesse, elle est toujours de bons conseils pour les activités etc ou même pour discuter!! Gracias Miriam❤️

Sehr nettes Hostel in einer der schönsten Gegenden Cuscos. Die Doppelzimmer sind sehr gemütlich und auch im kleinen Innenhof kann man gut Zeit verbringen. Das Frühstück war gut, aber nichts besonderes und auch die Küche hätte ein wenig besser ausgestattet sein können. Rundum aber eine solide Unterkunft.

Hostal was fine however the staff forgot i already paid, they also charged my friends twice because according to them they didn’t pay already. However they did. Before even asking their other co workers they insisted that it wasn’t payed yet and were not helpful to try to find a solution. Very defensive and not kind. No English either. No cameras at the reception either

We stayed here 3 times whilst in Cusco! The staff were really helpful and the hostel had a super chilled vibe making it a good place to relax between hikes / trips. We were also able to leave our luggage there for free which we really appreciated.

Hostel tres sympa, avec petit déjeuné compris. Les dortoirs ainsi que les chambres privées sont très corrects. Seul point négatif, ce n’était pas toujours très propre dans la cuisine ou la literie. Cependant c’est un très bon hostel en soit :)
