Beautiful house, extremely clean(they even vacuum the books....one by one!!!), big, modern kitchen....free breakfast that is more than the typical free breakfast in Peru consisting of a roll with jelly and butter and coffee/tea....the 2 girls who work there are super friendly and helpful with any questions you have about the area and speak very good english.....fast free wifi plus...

The wife of the owner employs only female reception staff and they run the hostel like annoying mothers. Although it's a well facilitated hostel, kitchen closes at 10, lights out by 11. No noise, no talking, just go to bed! BORING, BORING, BORING! And terrible and mean reception staff! More

Even though it’s a little bit outside the city center it’s super comfortable and clean. We stayed in a private room and it was clean but really tight on space, and it didn’t have a private bathroom. We spent one afternoon lounging in the backyard area with the awesome hammocks soaking up the sun. They have strong wireless internet that... More

We stayed here for two nights, it was supposed to be one night only, however, the bus wouldn't leave for Cuzco due to problems around the Bolivian border. The whole problem was made a lot more easy by the assistance offered by the staff here, they gave us the same room and nothing was too much trouble. They made us... More

We stayed 5 nights at this hostel and it was awesome! It is like staying at your posh friends house. It has tiled floors and a large, well equipped kitchen for making food. The drinks they sell are cheaper than at the local shop. They have a fussball table, PS3, loads of films, 2 massive tvs, a small pool, beautiful... More

This hostel is absolutely amazing. It has THE best kitchen I have seen in months of travelling with everything you need (rice maker, smoothy maker, pots, pans, spices etc) It was so clean as well. As soon as I arrived I was warmly welcomed, shown my room, had a tour of the hostel and was then given a map with... More

This place gets top marks in my book! One of the best I stayed at in over 32 weeks on the road (South America & Africa). Immaculate, incredible bathroom and kitchen facilities, extremely friendly staff. The location is a bit out of the way, and my taxi driver had major problems finding it, but the hostel itself is incredible. Comfortable... More

One of the best places we have stayed in 10 months of travelling around central and south america. A review on Hostel World described styaing here as being ´more like staying in the home of a rich friend´ and that is pretty much perfect. The place is huge, very well decorated and comfortable. A bit out of town, but that... More

Set in a beautiful old colonial building, rooms are warm and comfortable with lots of blankets. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, no problems with us hanging out all day to catch a night bus. Fast, free internet and breakfast included! More
