I had one of the most welcoming stays at this hotel, nestled in a beautiful area. It’s the perfect location for those looking to connect with nature and explore unique parts of Cusco that aren't widely known. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, featuring a lovely terrace with stunning views. The hospitality of Romulo and Gelga is truly exceptional. Romulo picked us up and ensured we were comfortable after a challenging bus ride. They were always available to answer our questions and provide directions. The following day, we enjoyed a fantastic horseback ride through the area, visiting the Templo de la Luna, the Wind Temple, Paqcha K'usillo, and Kusilluchayoc, the Temple of the Monkeys. We were fortunate to have Romulo as our guide; his extensive knowledge and passion for the region enriched our experience. Hearing the history from his perspective was a true honor. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad that we could only book a few nights. I highly recommend this place—it's just a 20-minute drive from the center of Cusco, with taxis readily available. Romulo is always there to assist if needed.

Everything! Jenny and her family are amazing hosts. The hostel is in a quiet part of cusco just 10 min walk to the main square. A mini market and nice Italian restaurant are also close by. The rooms are huge and the private bathroom too. Everything always spotlessly clean (and even a daily tidy up which was a nice surprise). The breakfast is generous and delicious, served in your room or you can enjoy the alfresco area. Laundry service is well priced and all was returned clean and in full. Jenny speaks perfect English and has lots of knowledge of Cusco. Always ready to help in person or by WhatsApp. We stayed here three times as we based ourselves in cusco. Highly highly recommend.

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!
