Was told it gets very noisy at night but have had really quite nights i cant complain. they have an in house tour office who are... More

This place was awesome. First of the price you can't beat! It is 2 seconds walk to Plaza de Armas, great location. The accommodations were surprisingly nice, clean and safe considering the price. Yes, there is some music that plays until 2-3am but oh well. Aren't you in Peru for an adventure anyways? Why not go out and experience the... More

I spent quite a bit of time (on the interent) trying to find affordable places to stay in Aguas Calientes and ended up here, not really out of choice but because it seemed like the best deal available. The water from the shower was virtually non-existent and we didn't bother with the breakfast of stale bread and jam. But, it... More

Stayed here for a week or so in and around my trip to Machu Pichu. The staff were very friendly and helpful and let me change nights of booking with no problems. Breakfast the usual bread and jam affair - get there early to avoid missing out. All the rooms had individuals lockers but their location, off a central courtyard,... More

I was running out of money so I choose the cheapest hostel I could find in Cusco for my last night there. I wasn't expecting much but I got surprised when I came there as it was a good hostel, fun (a nice and cool bar where you can meet other travelers), good located (2 blocks from 'Plaza de Armas'),...

Our room was a double, right off the courtyard. It was dark with no external windows and incredibly musty. It was also very cold. The noise was unbelievable. Noise from the bar upstairs would travel down, and people in the courtyard right outside drinking till after 1am meant sleep was hard to come by. We stayed there the night before... More

We stayed at Pirwa during a unique time, since I'm pretty sure we were the only guests staying at the hostel during the train strike, but it was still a great place. The location is awesome (between the Plaza de Armas and the hot springs), but the hotel itself was peaceful, the beds were almost criminally comfortable and warm, there... More

This hostel seemed fine at first, there is a cute courtyard and the staff even offered us tea while we were waiting for our room to be ready but, it went downhill from there. First, we had booked a private 4 person room to rest for two nights before hiking the Inca Trail but, now they only had shared rooms... More

We stayed at the Pirwa Familiar location, on Calle Suecia, and were very disappointed with the amenities. It was freezing cold both during the day and at night, and no space heaters were offered to us. Additionally, there was a disco or nightclub nearby that played loud music until 3am, making it hard to sleep. And there was a cat... More
