Guest reviews for Chelitos Backpacker
"The staff was amazing, always available, and accommodating. He always helped me with a smile. Cannot beat the accommodation for the price and the bed was super comfortable and the shower was hot."
"Aucun."
"Owners were very friendly and helpful, great location near San Pedro Market. Quiet rooms"
"Aucun."
"It is cosy, quiet little sanctuary with a great bed to room size ratio, close to all the main sites in Cusco"
"Water is hot but only just hot enough"
"A place with a family, friendly feeling. My room was nice and quiet."
"The showers are very basic. Nowhere to put your soap, towel, or clothes. There is only one toilet. As per other reviews, there isn't always toilet paper. What really annoyed me was the fact that there is no hand washing soap in the toilet."
"An amazing place...simple, quiet, tranquilo. It's on a quiet side street, a 5 minute walk to San Pedro market and 15 minutes to Plaza De Las Armas. The hosts, Yta and her husband, are fantastic...super friendly, always ready and happy to help with anything they can: tours, travel advice on local sites, doctor visits, etc., whatever you need, above and beyond the call of duty. Yta is one of the kindest, warmest hearted people you will ever meet, a delightful loving person. They don't speak English but that's easily worked around with Google Translate. Has a small kitchen and a large eating room. I loved it here, in Cusco and at Chelitos Backpacker, and stayed at this hostel for 2 weeks. Highly recommended!❤️"

"Great place to stay in Cusco! We arrived in the morning really tired and they let us check into our room early which was so wonderful. The rooms are comfortable and have lots of natural light. The location is great—2 blocks from San Pedro Market and a short walk to the Plaza de Armas. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!"

"I love the owner so much. She is so kind and caring. She takes care of all the guests as if they were family members. It's not a hostel, it feels like home!"
"Aucun."
"Friendly staff, easy check in. The location is good, since it is down a small street there isn't a lot of traffic and it was very quiet, yet it's within 5 minutes of San Pedro market, and the historic center. The property is clean, it has a well-stocked shared kitchen. Clean bathrooms. The room was comfortable."
"No complaints."

"La atención de Wilmer Verónica y Arnold. La ubicación y el acceso a la playa. La cocina de uso común muy cómoda y espaciosa. La vista al mar desde la habitación."

"Le logement était spacieux, plutôt silencieux; les hôtes très accomodants, attentifs à nos besoins. La cuisine et la salle à manger parfaites."
Nicolas Los Pinos de Zorritos Condominio
"La Cabaña de Huerta Mar es un ambiente acogedor que brinda calidez y calma. Los anfitriones son personas muy amables y atentas a cualquier necesidad. Cuentan con una huerta adorable y unos acompañantes de cuatro patas cariñosos. Los techos elevados de la casa hacen que se mantenga el ambiente lo suficientemente fresco a comparación de la sensación térmica que se percibe al exterior. Considero que es un ambiente excepcional para quienes buscan un refugio hogareño y calmado. Linda experiencia :)"
