A bargain for a quick stay
The staff are nice people they are always there to assist. The rooms are always kept clean by the time you return to your assigned room. Price is a deal

muy bueno
Solo estuve una noche, las habitaciones son estrechas y es un largo camino en las escaleras con maletas, PERO, las camas son super cómodas, buenas almohadas, AGUA SUPER CALIENTE, el mejor WIFI de cuzco, mucha amabilidad de quienes nos recibieron y el desayuno muy bueno!!! Queda en un callejón que nos dió la impresión de seguridad, pero es cerca a la plaza de armas, como 4 cuadras y es un gran precio para el sector.

Don't believe everything on website!
In alleyway, which made it difficult to find. Staff was great! Only thing is that website says there is a game room. This is not true. When i asked about the game roo, i was told that thete was none and its really just table games... Talk about false advertisement.

Bien, aunque mejorable
Nos resulto cómodo y funcional, tiene un pequeño balcón interno con muchas plantas, bastante silencioso y poco concurrido, tiene una cocina pequeña que solo se puede usar después del horario de desayuno y hasta las 10pm. la habitación nuestra daba a la recepción comunicada por una ventana así que ya temprano a la mañana cuando llega la mujer que preparar el desayuno nos despertaban los ruidos (sumado que en la calle la estaban pavimentando y rompiendo la vieja con martillos neumáticos) el personal fue muy amable. el desayuno se sirve tarde (hay que esperar los panes). Es difícil de encontrar porque en cusco cada cuadra tiene un nombre diferente.

The hotel staff were exceptional (I believe the manager's name was Meridian). Very helpful with arranging tours and providing tips and recommendations for sightseeing in the area. The price was also fair.

serietá sconosciuta
avevamo prenotato una camera matrimoniale con bagno privato ma al nostro arrivo ci é stata mostrata una camera con letti a castello e bagno in comune, senza neppure dircelo prima di compilare il foglio di registrazione, inoñtre le camere non sono come nelle foto del sito. Ce ne siamo subito a cercsre un'altra sistemszione.

Clean and affordable
Hotel came with a great free breakfast (eggs, bread, coffee, and tea). Room was very clean but the shower water stayed pretty cold. Near the Plaza de Armas but away from most of the rowdier hostels, this was a good location for a clean, affordable room. Not luxurious, but perfect for a stopover for two twenty somethings in route to Machu Picchu.

Good location
The people who work there are great and it is in a central location. If you pay in card you are charged an extra 10% which I wish I knew about beforehand.

Cheap, close, safe
The service was great, despite the language barrier. It's not a great hostel, don't expect much--but it's safe, clean, incredibly cheap and near where the main square in Cuscos.
