Highly recommended hostel.

It was a perfect stay just as advertised. The hostel is right on the platform, so get off the train straight into the hostel. It's a hostel, so it has all the basic needs and is very clean. The service is excellent, with the owner very accommodating. Their breakfast was great. They let us eat longer since we had two young kids with us, and they slept in late. They held luggage for us for after checkout too. Great stay overall.

Irma was the best!!! Since my wife and I got there she made us feel so comfortable. It's not a 5 star hotel but the attention to ensure that you're comfortable beats any 5 star hotel. We visited in late October so did not experience the mosquitos from other reviews. What we did experience was the view and the sound of the water flowing in the river. Some people pay to have this sound when falling asleep. The breakfast, the coffee, the assistance on where to go eat, the convenience, even giving us a poncho in case it rain during our Machu Pichu adventure and if we didn't need it just bring it back (no charge). These all made the staying at La Payacha and incredible experience. Thanks again Irma.

La ubicación del hostal es perfecta, está frente a la estación de trenes, me dieron una habitación con vista al rio lo cual me pareció precioso, muchos se quejan del sonido del Río o de los trenes a mi no me molestó. La habitación es limpia, lo que no me gustó fue el baño que cuando le bajaba el agua burbujeaba en la regadera y cuando me quise bañar el agua caliente salió por un minuto y después salió agua HELADA, me tuve que bañar así. El personal, jóvenes pero muy atentas, sin embargo los desayunos no los sirven a partir de las 05:30, volvería? Tal vez

Best Hostel in Aguas Calientes

I stayed in this hostel one night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My room had the best view of The Urumba river. The only call out is that the pillows were not the most comfortable, but it’s a hostel so don’t expect a 5 star hotel. It was very clean and walking distance to Peru rial, the bus to Machu Picchu & numerous restaurants. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone who is saying short term to visit Machu Picchu

Suficientemente bueno

El hostal es sencillo, limpio y justo lo que necesitábamos para pasar una noche en Aguas Calientes antes de subir a Machu Picchu temprano en la mañana del día siguiente. Es cierto que el tren pasa justo al frente de algunas habitaciones y al otro lado del hostal se encuentra un río vigoroso y ruidoso. Pero eso no impide dormir bien. Queda cerca de la estación del tren y de los buses que llevan hasta Machu Picchu. Lo volvería a utilizar.
