Excellent stay in centre of Cusco

I had an excellent stay. The couple running this hotel are lovely and ensure that guests have a pleasant stay. They cook breakfast every morning and will happily assist if you need a help with anything. The location is great as it's just few minutes walk from the centre of Cusco. The room is cleaned everyday and the shower has hot water and good pressure which is not the case in all hotels. Really recommend staying here.

Coco and Anna are very professional and ready to help you for everything you need . They are conversant in English as well and that helps a lot for non Spanish travellers . Though I wish I knew spanish !! . They even kept secure one of my personal item that I have forgotten in the room during checkout . Overall it’s a good and very safe place for the price !!!

Easily the most comfortable I have ever been in a hostel. The owner and his wife were very welcoming and helpful in deciding my plans for each day. The room looked just like the photos on the website. The bed was comfortable and made each day. The showers were hot and had good pressure with towels provided each day. The property owner allowed me to store my bags when I went on the Salkantay Trek free of charge. Adding a night was simple. I felt extremely safe in the hostel as there was a gate and the owner or his wife would let me into the property at all hours of the day. I truly can’t say how enjoyable and comfortable I was staying here.

La habitación estaba muy limpia, la ducha siempre tuvo agua caliente. Coco y Ana son excelentes anfitriones, nos dieron recomendaciones para evitar el mal de altura y sobre lugares que visitar en Cusco. El desayuno es suficiente y delicioso para iniciar el día. Se encuentra a 3 calles de la avenida principal, a una cuadra hay un supermecado.

Si vous cherchez le grand luxe à la nord-américaine, cet établissement n’est pas pour vous. Si, par contre, vous aimez le style vieillot avec des hôtes toujours prêts à vous accompagner dans votre expérience à Cusco, c’est l’endroit parfait. C’est propre, confortable et bien équipé. Il y a un bon wifi et de l’eau chaude, pour vrai. C’est tout près de la Plaza de Armas (1,5km). Si vous avez le sommeil léger, apportez des bouchons. C’est un édifice principalement bâti en ciment donc pas très isolé.
