Good choice of rooms in this small boutique hotel. We had a private double adjacent to our four kids, and they all had their own beds (very happy about that). Walking distance to the main square and far enough away from the action to be relatively safe and peaceful. Great value, excellent help with booking private tours to Sacred Valley.... More

We travelled to Peru in October of 2011, and stayed at Cusi Wasi for a total of 4 nights. The service was great, and for $40/night, you truly cannot ask for more. We found the room was quiet, aside from the sound of people walking in the hallways, the type of floor mixed with rubber soles was very squeaky, but... More

Picked us up at the airport on time. Had a great room for the price and the hostal has a wonderful courtyard for relaxing and breakfast. I also appreciated the location which was walking distance to the main square. The staff was also so sweet and nice. They especially helped me when I fainted due to altitude sickness. More

The Cusi Wasi hostel is a hike from the centre of Cuzco. With the lack of oxygen for newcomers, it's worth taking a taxi on arrival because the walk with luggage will leave you breathless. It's almost a kilometer from the main square, not as advertised. Also, we walked and had trouble to find it; many locals weren't familiar with... More

We had our doubts about staying in a cheap hostel, but what a charming place and the staff are so welcoming and helpful. It is a little way from the centre but it is good to walk down to the centre and get a taxi back, taxi's are cheap. The tour buses leave from just across the road so you... More

We stayed at the Cusi Wasi hostal for little under a week. It is a charming hostal with a very good location. The center of Cusco was well within walking distance (5-10 min) yet it was very quiet in the hostal. It is not a luxurious hostal which is reflected in the price, however the hostal is clean, cosy and... More

We had an excellent stay at the Cusi Wasi with our 8 & 10 year old kids. The staff were so friendly and helpful both before we left Australia and while we stayed with them. Nothing was too much trouble (even a very early morning breakfast on a couple of our day trip departure days). Email communication was excellent and... More

I feel guilty writing this report as the staff are so lovely but please do not stay here. We had a family room which faced the main road, my children are 9 and 11 and at 2am we were all still awake. My son was in tears due to fumes entering the room . It was like being next to... More

This room is our only room which faces the main road. Just before our guests' arrival the balcony doors had problems shutting well. We are working on this problem right now, sealing the balcony with an extra set of windows so that the noise will never be a problem again. I wonder who told them that this is a bad... More

Nice court yard with plants, but of course cold in September in the evenings. The room was cold too, but had a heater, once it was turned on, the room heated up very slowly. The room felt like it needed some work, spots on the walls, flaking paint. Location is a few very long dark blocks from the center, we... More
