We loved our stay with Romulo and Helga (and their cute pets). When we arrived from a night bus, they welcomed us straight into the kitchen and made us a delicious (complimentary) breakfast. So kind. Our room wasn’t quite ready but they allowed us to shower and rest in another room until it was - this was much before the check in time so we were really grateful for this too. The house is a little out of town but we really liked that about it. It seems far in a taxi (only 10-15 soles though) but walking the Inca trail only takes about 15-20 minutes. The house is right next to Inca ruins and Romulo took us on a walk to show us the main sights, he also gave us so much information about the local area. Helga and Romulo make a great breakfast and they put a hot water bottle in our bed every evening. Also, my laptop broke whilst I was there and they got me in touch with someone to fix it. They are wonderful hosts and we would more than happily stay here again.

It is very close to the city center and San Pedro station. The staff is very helpful and super kind :) Regy (I hope I wrote it right) helped me a lot with everything. It was especially nice that he made me tea when I was affected by the high altitude, I felt like I was at home :) The accommodation also has a restaurant. They offer many delicious options at affordable prices. The hostel also has a perfect city view :)

Really cool place, pool table, ping pong table. Really friendly staff, they have a laundry service for a little extra. They provided us with a packed breakfast one morning because we were leaving very early to do Rainbow mountain tour.

Miguel was very nice! The interior is so nice - loved the paintings! Very cosy common areas. Can have hot tea any time. Have a microvave and a fridge. Have a laundry service. Have social activities in the bar every night. Breakfast is very nice and has a selection you can choose from. There is a nice view of the mountains in the mornings from the breakfast zone. Bar has a wide menu till 10pm (very delicious) and sells drinks till 2am. Receptionist available 24hrs. Common area has nice music on, but inside the rooms is very quiet. Beds are very comfortable with warm blankets, bed-light and plugs. All is very clean. Location is just in the center with plenty of shops, restaurants, and places of interest around. Have a free 2-hours walking tour around the city. The best homie atmosphere gives a feeling of being welcomed.

One of the best hostel where we stayed in Peru. Position is perfect, less than 10 minutes from the main square and 2 minutes from the main market. The host Josè was very kind and super friendly, he makes the difference and makes you feel to be in a family. Breakfast is good and we met a lot of interesting people from different countries. Rooms are clean and there is also a common room for watching tv. Finally there is the possibility to store baggage for free.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great service, super welcoming, nice breakfast and the perfect budget hostel. Its surrounded by cheap food options and a 5 min walk from the main plaza. Cheap and cheerful. Kevin is really helpful with suggestions and recommendations. Not a party hostel, so be aware, but still had fun and a few nights out with the staff and guests!
