Breakfast was okay. They tried to overcharge us. They had bookings from people through various websites and didn't honor them. They overcharged us for our laundry. And though advertised the staff does not speak English, but the manager does. But there is something a little off with him. I would suggest staying anywhere else in the city but here. It... More

I have seen other point hostels across Peru and they have all been really nice! Well the one in puno is an exception...terrible! First of all they charged my friend and I more than everyone else which I did not find out until I heard them quoting prices to other guests! The first night the showers were freezing cold and...

the hostel might have been rewarded for cleanliness at the old place.... but the hostel moved closer to the city centre just one month before we stayed there (not that they told me - I found out by chance...) and the new spot is just ugly. I was very disappointed because I had seen the nice rooms and the nice... More

We stayed in this hostel simply so that we had somewhere to stay the night before our trip to Lake Titicaca. It was very good for this, but it seemed that everyone else was doing the same thing as us so it was VERY quiet! (We went down for a drink at the bar- after staying in other point hostels,... More

This hostel is on a hill with great views of Puno. It is about 10 minutes walk from the city centre. The best thing about it is the atmosphere in the rooftop bar. As a couple other backpackers can be a bit standoffish but that wasn't the case here. The manager plays an active part in making sure everyone is... More

While the room was clean and adequate, both times we stayed there, there was no hot water for showers. Also, we had to ask for each item on the included breakfast menu, they brought nothing unless it was specifically asked for.

Reading the other reviews, I feel like we must have stayed in another hostel! Our experience at The Point was not great and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. We stayed in the 8 bed mixed dorm which was quite spacious but because all of the beds were seperate, everyone's belongings were everywhere. Breakfast was quite strange bread and scrambled... More
