    Awesome experience!

    Liked : We liked the atmosphere they have developed! We also enjoyed their breakfast which is better than some hostels we stayed at! Their staff is amazing and most speak English pretty well! We know basic Spanish but to have someone fluent in English is great for us Canadians. We also liked how close it was to everything you need!

    Disliked : This is not their fault at all but be aware for light sleepers it’s close to the train station. It didn’t bother us at all but people should be aware and just bring headphones if you sleep lightly.

  • MikaellyBrazil · Aug 10, 2025 10Exceptional

    Liked : I loved the hostel; the staff were energetic and very helpful. It's well located, with restaurants and pharmacies nearby. I would stay there again.

    Disliked : My room was moldy and I often found the bathrooms very dirty.

    Authentic hostel in San Pedro

    Great hostel

    Liked : Amazing hostel with great staff and atmosphere. Clean, close to the main square about 5-10 minutes walk. Hot water all the time, really kind and thoughtful staff !

  • JenniferChile · Jul 8, 2024 9Exceptional

    Liked : Overall we had a great stay, the staff were really kind with us.
    It's been renovated so everything is new, and super comfy.

    Disliked : The negative point is the noise of ppl slamming the doors during night, a better noise insulation would be great and noise reduction for doors.

  • JessieGermany · Mar 13, 2024 9Exceptional

    Very clean, friendly staff, and great value!!

    Liked : I highly recommend this hostel! There is a restaurant and bar upstairs with great drinks and food, a nice hangout area, and multiple floors of rooms. Ricardo helped me fix my glasses when I sat on them and broke them. Thanks Ricardo!!

    Disliked : The pillows are not very comfortable but I just stuffed a blanket under it and it was fine.

  • KristieBrazil · Jun 28, 2023 10Exceptional

    Liked : Nice facilities, free coffee and tea, good deals if you book with them directly for more than 3 nights, and they're building a rooftop bar area that should be open within a couple weeks. Definitely worth the price, and a great option in Cusco near San Pedro market!

  • ViktoriaAustria · Mar 2, 2026 10Exceptional

    Liked : The hostel is very clean. We enjoyed the rooftop a lot, also the breakfast was nice. They offer many activities. Because of off season it was almost empty of people.
    The price performance is good.
