I ended up there by chance as my 7 day Machu Picchu hike was postponed to next day. Basically it is family owned business that tries to pull you into buying through them packages on "discounted price" which of course is not the case. As I said I stayed there only 1 night, wasn't expensive, typical budget hostel in Peru.... More

This was my first hostel in Peru. I didn't know what to expect, so I wasn't too much. The hostel is very basic, however you don't need much being in Cuzco, except of hot water available 24h/day, WiFi to connect with your family and friends, and location which will not cause the need of taxi ride to the centre. Generally... More

I stayed here for about 5 weeks in July/August 2012 whilst on a medical placement at a local hospital and the accommodation was organised for me by a different company. The rooms are very comfortable - I actually had a twin room to myself with an ensuite bathroom. There was also free wifi and a computer that you can use.... More

Excellent staff, very helpful. Allowed us to check-in at 5.00am Good value for money,in comparison to the other hostels in Cuzco Clean, bedding smelled clean and bathroom was always cleaned. Good breakfast with eggs! Free airport transfer!

Hostal girasoles provided all the essential services needed and someone was always available to offer more help and information about Cuzco and all the services the hostal has. I felt safe and comfortable around the hostal and its highly capable personnel from the moment I set foot out of the airport and was greeted warmly by Mercedes, the owner, and... More

Basic, simple accomodations. The staff was what made me stay here for 6 days. They were very helpful and kind. I am a 53 year old woman traveling alone, and they went out of their way to make sure I felt comfortable in getting around Cusco, and wherever else I needed to go. I was always greeted with a smile... More

We are not picky about our accommodation, but this was a negative and uncomfortable experience for us. I also generally don't lIke to leave negative reviews but I wanted to warn others. We stayed three nights and moved to a different place on our last night. The hotelier seemed to come from a position of defensiveness rather than helpfulness whenever... More
