This was one of 5 hostels I stayed at while in Peru and by far the worst... This is a cheap bed for college kids and not much else. The rooms are freezing, there is barely warm water, the place was filthy and the breakfast was terrible. I wasn't expecting much for breakfast, but the quality here was exceptionally poor.... More

This hostal was very nice and clean and the people there are friendly as can be, although you will not always be told the same story by each of the employees there. We asked if we could leave our stuff there until 1:00pm when our train was leaving, but this lady told us we had to leave the stuff at... More

We were very happy with our stay here. Having read through reviews of plenty of other accommodation in Aguas Calientes, we weren't expecting much, and we were pleasantly surprised. The beds were comfortable, the room was good, the hot water worked, and the staff were friendly and helpful and didn't try to rip us off on the exchange rate (as... More

I stayed this hostel for 1 night. I decided to stay here because the price was cheap. The room was not so bad. There were windows in the room, but it wasn't openable so that was a little bit damp.

Given that all the accommodation in Aguas Calientes is ridiculously overpriced, this isnt a bad budget option. We stayed here 1 night pre Machu Picchu. Its just off the main street with all the restaurents and not far from the bus/train station. Our double room was massive and faced the street. Its a side street so it wasnt noisy. The... More

The staff was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The hostel is located close to the centre square, train station and bus but out of the main noisy area. Breakfast is served early enough at 430 for people wanting to catch the first bus to Machu Picchu. Windows in our room faced into common area which could be loud if people... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights whilst we visited Machu Pichu. It was a pretty miserable visit. The room we were given was on the street side, which meant that it was really noisy at night and early in the morning. The door to our room had a space at the bottom, and given that we backed onto...

We had a room with a private bath and a double bed for 1 night in August 2012. The restroom was very small and smelly. We did not try the shower so i cannot comment about the hot water. The faucet had cold water only but that's normal. It did not have any towels for us so bring your own!... More

We stayed 2 nights last year (June 2011) in Pirwa hostel Aqua Calliente (we also stayed at Pirwa in Lima, Arequipa and Cuzco). As it is basic accommodation, it is clean and and you have hot - warm water at the shower. At $30 per night for a private room for 2 I do not see many other better options.... More
