I recently returned from Cusco and stayed at this hotel for two out of the five nights. I was not all that satisfied with the not so friendly staff, the noisy unappealing rooms (dogs and people in the reception area creating most of the noise). After two nights, I ended up moving to the La Casa Escondida 100m up the... More

I discovered this hostal when it was booked as part of my group tour to Machu Picchu. But for my extra time alone in Cusco, I extended my stay here as I enjoyed it so much.

This hostel is a wonderful find!

The owner is energetic and makes sure you have anything you need, and the staff are all quite helpful and trustworthy. There's a small garden... More

It is a very nice hostal with amazing views from the room if you stay in room No 5 or 6. We stayed two times there. Very clean and friendly. Price is very fair for Cusco.

We had a very good experience at this hotel in June 2009. (It's called a hostal but it is a hotel, not a backpackers' inn.) The three of us (my husband, I and our son) stayed at the Hostal Buena Vista for several days before and after a trip to Mount Ausangate. The owner renovated a several-hundred-year-old hacienda, which overlooks... More
