Short stay for less than a day

My stay was short. The host was very nice and very helpful. All I really need to be happy is hot water, WiFi, and a clean room. She provided all that.

Local to the main plaza. The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and nothing was too much trouble even when we'd woke them up checking out. I highly recommend this hostel.

Água gelada

O quarto é bem espaçoso, mas a água do banheiro é fria. E isso não é uma boa pedida quando estiver no inverno de Cusco, não voltaria nele. Além do mais que achei completamente cedo o horário do check out às 09h.

Good price, but facilities old

The staff was friendly and provided a nice breakfast. However, when we arrived, instead of 2 beds we got just 1 bed. We made it work, but when you book certain facilities, you expect to receive them. The cost was low so we stayed.

Bon hôtel, mais très mal isolé

service impeccable, mais l'eau chaude n'a jamais fonctionné, et on entendait le voisin uriner comme s'il était dans la même chambre que nous, même chose avec tout ce qui se passait à la réception... une famille est arrivée en pleine nuit, bref, nuit pas évidente... avec un peu de chance c'est un hôtel très bien, mais c'est très bruyant.

La señora que atiende es muy amable y trata de resolverte todo para que te sientas como en casa,ya que la gente en Perú no es muy amable con el turista,solo lo ven como signo de pesos

Sehr sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Sehr unkompliziert und kulant. Wegen Lage an belebtem Platz früh etwas laut aber zu Fuß ist man sehr nah am historischen Stadtzentrum. Wifi funktioniert einwandfrei. Frühstück auch in Ordnung.

Godt hostal til en billig pris.

Nydeligt hostal med kun 5 værelser. Fortræffeligt personale der var meget hjælpsomme og imod betaling kan vaske ens tøj. Fin kontinental morgenmad, men man bliver ikke helt mæt. Fine værelser og beliggenheden er perfekt. Lidt støjende uden for pga. den centrale placering, men det er ikke så slemt. Desuden er hostallet ret billigt. Klart anbefalelsesværdigt.
