Samay Wasi Youth Hostels-Cusco

The double room was very basic, & small so not enough space for two of us. We had booked 2 nights but only stayed one because the sewage drain smell from the bathroom was too strong for us to get a comfortable nights sleep. Also we needed somewhere that was accessible to taxis when we checked out & this place isn’t. The room we were given was very close to the reception & a tiny sitting area so we could hear people talking & a lot of dogs barking.Good shower & view, breakfast was ok.

Verstehe die guten Bewertungen einfach nicht! Küche war nicht sauber, sodass wir nicht kochen wollten… Personal war unterschiedlich, es gab sehr nette die uns geholfen haben ein Arzt zu finden und unfreundliche..Es ist alles schon ziemlich heruntergekommen und im oberen Stock sind Löcher im Boden, wo man durchgucken kann. Sieht aus als könnte es jederzeit einbrechen..Das Dorm ist zu klein und zu wenige Schließfächer. Frühstück war gefühlt Brot von vorgestern, so hart! Haben das Hostel ...

El personal era muy amable y el hostal tiene una terraza maravillosa con una vista genial. La pieza era muy diferente de lo que muestran los fotos online. La pieza tenía un olor raro que fue una mezcla de productos de limpieza y moho. El baño no era limpio. Los espejos aún eran sucios y la ducha no parecía limpio. El baño contenía papel higiénico usado y el asiento de wáter era mojado con cualquier líquido. En general, todo parece en un estado viejo y necesitaría una renovación.

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

Great location, and great rooftop! Breaky is basic but nice. Building is old and therefore shared room was tinyyy.

Es war okay. Leider zahlen sie nicht wie beschrieben schon bei 2 Nächten den Transport vom Busterminal zum Hostel, sondern erst ab 3. Das Personal war ganz nett. Die Bäder waren ziemlich dreckig, sie wurden zwar regelmäßig geputzt aber es fanden sich immer wieder viele kleine Insekten. Zumindest gibt es funktionierende Heizungen in den Zimmern :)

The views were amazing and the staff mostly friendly. The dorms were insanely small and with everybody going to bed early to wake up early for the tours, it made it impossible to move around the room to pack/unpack. Also, because it's a bit off the road, it also means that you need to walk to a major street for uber/taxi/tour pick up (just a few minutes though).

Rooms were clean and comfortable however we were unable to use cooking or laundry facilities here which was unfortunate as we chose this property with this in mind. This hostel is accessed through a locked gate - while this is in theory manned by someone 24/7 we found ourselves unable to leave for our 3am rainbow mountain tour and nearly missed the trip. Id hate to think about what might happen in a fire

Stayed there for a week. 4 times I tried to take a shower and they either didn’t have running water or it was really cold. It also seems like they don’t quite clean the floors of the bedrooms so well. The stuff are mostly nice.

Breakfast is amazing and nice upper part with terrace. The shared rooms are super small, no space whatsoever to put your things and lockers are upstairs. Bathroom was alright. It’s only possible to enter by ringing the bell which also happens a lot during the night and it’s very loud. I hope they find a better system for this. Kitchen is small and has fixed times. With two people cooking, it already got crowded.

C’est le meilleure hostel que j’ai fais ! Sa location à Cusco est parfait, c’est en pleins coeur du quartier San Blas le quartier artistique. La famille qui tient cette auberge est adorable, elle est toujours prête à donner un conseil. Le petit déjeuner est très bon, le grand luxe est de pouvoir prendre son petit dej sur la terrasse qui donne sur Cusco. Sincèrement je recommande cette auberge les yeux fermés !!! 🫶🏼

The hostel was cozy and charming. There's a nice terrace with a view of Cusco. Breakfast is included (coffee, juice, eggs, and bread), as is a towel for showers. The showers ran hot to warm, and the place was cleaned daily. They let me safely store my items in their lockers for free while I completed a self-guided trek. This is a chill space to meet fellow travelers for outdoor adventures in the area. Close to San Blas market and other restaurants, in a historic and beautiful part of the town

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.

amazing stay at Samay Wasi for 8 nights! Great breakfast amazing view and lovely staff highly recommend Great value for money

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.

Nice hostel in a quiet but central area! Staff is helpful and breakfast is good! Not so social

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!

We had a great time at this hostel! The two cats were so sweet, and the staff were all very helpful!

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.

auberge agréable, les lits en dortoir sont confortables, je recommande

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.

Awesome hostel! I ended up spending about a month here over my travels. Friendly staff and lovely breakfast ladies! Beautiful view from the deck over Cusco, perfect place to play the cool little guitar they have here. Breakfast is great - eggs, cafe, jam, bread and fresh juice. Nice friendly traveller vibe. They have storage too. This place is great, wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else in Cusco. The view is just epic! Thanks guys - from vortex

Best place i stayed at during my days i Cusco! Amazing view, location and helpfull staff.

Bel endroit , bien placé! Bon petit déjeuner. Tranquille pour dormir. 😴 Personnel sympas.

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!...
