Would stay again

Excellent value and location. Rooms were clean and a bit loud but no complaints at all. Breakfast was delicious and we loved the small feel. They let us leave our luggage when we went to Machu Picchu and even put in our room when we got back!

Great hostel in San Blas

This is a great little hostel with mostly older adults (meaning it is NOT a party place. It is in the San Blas barrio mostly away from the noise and ubiquitous hawkers that plague the Plaza de las Armas. Good variety of restaurants near by with a nice little bar up from the Plaza San Blas called Km.O. Nighly live music of uneven quality. Older crowd. Smitty at the front door is funny and can direct you the sister restaurant that has excellent food.I recommend asking for an upstairs room because when I was in 101, I could hear every creaky step of those above. Staff generally is great and the breakfast is just ok. Eggs come with breakfast regardless of whether the staff offers them or not. I would stay here again for the location, charm of the street and the hostal, and the clean rooms. Not the cheapest hostal though.

A Comfortable and Welcoming Option in Old Cusco

The staff are really sweet there and the deal is wonderful for what you get. I thought the place was very comfortable - the beds were nice, the rooms were warm, and the hot water was perfect. The location is a very short walk from Plaza de Armas and surrounded by great restaurants in San Blas. I really couldn't complain at all and would definitely go back on my next trip.
