Something not right?

Description

45 soles a double room Includes breakfast. 50 soles for a matrimonial room. Bathrooms are shared but very clean. Clean though some rooms could use fresh paint and very noisy the room in the street. There is a matrimonial rooms and triples. Bathrooms are cleaned three times per day (no all the time).

Kitchen and good courtyard. In center. Very secure. Motorcycle parking only.
Breakfast is included and is composed of
1) one egg
2) Margarine made of Palm/soja oil (NOT BUTTER)
3) Marmelade (basically just sugar)
4) Cheap white bread

Wi-fi is extremely slow and only work in dorm room (but again, very slow). Location is great.

Problem is the quality of sheets which is absolutely horrible (just laying on it 3mn will remove them from the mattress). They're probably 20 years old and of an extremely poor quality. I slept in my sleeping bag.

Have a look at Chelito's Backpacker instead if you want a budget accomodation, much much better and cheaper.

Wonderful, bicycle friendly (court yard) hostel. Single person payed s25,- close to the plaza de armas (centre) a bit noisy when you sleep at the street side, warm showers and decent WiFi.

Report Check-In

Top location in city Center of Cusco, payed s30,- for a 1 person bedroom with 3 beds in it so plenty of space. Shared bathroom but these are very clean and cleaned daily. Also good space to store the bicycle. WiFi good at the garden.

We paid 40 for a double room.
Friendly owners, decent breakfast & extra room for storing bicycles. We had a room facing the street and didn't think the noise was as bad as descridbed above (not too much traffic at night), even though the rooms in the backyard are probably a bit more quiet.

Dirty, unfriendly owners, horrible wifi... for the same price at Chelito's you get 10 times more

fun place to meet other ciclistas and motociclistas but pretty barebones. most painful is that the water goes off from 1-4 pm and something like 10pm-6am. my understanding is that this is a municipal practice, but most hotels and businesses use reserves such that water never goes off. i paid 30s for private and was told that shared is 20s. wifi only works in the dorm room apparently

prices as photo it isn't the worst out there by any means as people have said could do with a lick of paint parking for Motos and cyclists in the courtyard suicide showers

Breakfast without jam.

Report Check-In

really nice considering what you pay for it.
15 soles pp.pn in a dormatory (even though a paper in the kitchen says 20) the breakfast includes one fried or scrambled egg, jam, 2 breads, butter/margarine (after 3 breakfasts I am still unsure), tea, coffee all served to you in the court yard or the kitchen.
the court yard is also great if you want to clean your bicicle.
the typicall electric suicide shower is hot, toiletpaper is not always available in all bathrooms (but you can always find one that has some ;) ) and the bathrooms and the kitchen are clean!!

Yes, maybe a coat of new paint here and there would help but you get what you pay for and you already get quite a lot.

the bakery and the chocolate shop next doors are great.

s/25 for one for bed "with moto". But another guy in the same dorm room with moto got charged the normal s/20. Oh well. HOT showers. Great kitchen. Love the cafe-style tables they set up in the courtyard. Bathrooms range from 'good' to 'great'. Breakfast is great. Location is great.

As described before, good value for money in Cusco. Although the beds can be better .. And internet is really slow ...
There is a good bakery next door to complete the breakfast :)
There is also a parking at the other next door, but don't know the price ..

Old and dirty.
It's okay for a night, the place really needs a new owner. everything its falling apart, the beds are terrible. I didn't even bother to use the bedding because I'm pretty sure it wasn't clean.
The owners are are very nice, but they are old.
35 Soles for a private room double bed. Typical breakfast of eggs and bread.

I found another place with a garage much nicer, closer to the center for the same price

Hotel very economic and Pleasant offering double bedrooms, rooms for singles and beds in small dormitories arranged around a Central patio. Kitchen and sanitary common. All is dilapidated but very clean with an excellent bedding. Very well located in the historic district of the city, between the covered market, the Temple of the Sun and other important touristic attractions. Ideal for Backpacker’s , cyclists or motorbikers for secured parking possibility in the patio of the hotel. Breakfast included. Cheap laundry service. Staff very friendly. Breakfast from 7 to 11 am. Check out at 12.
I paid 40 soles for a matrimonial room and 5 for each motorbike.
We even can let our gears in our room and bikes in the hostel for free and key in my pocket during our two days excursion to Machu Picchu.
Highly recommended!!!

Gentleman/woman motorbikers!

This is what I found in the deposit room of hostel Estallita. To the colour of the oil it is old and used. Some genius wrote on the package 'old shit' If it is your 'old shit' don't be a lazy asshole and bring it back to the recycle spot!!!! The hostel aloud you to work on your motorbike and as a 'thank you' you dump your old oil at them. Facking unbelievable!!!!!

If you work somewhere, clean the spot after your own ass!! You guys are the reason hostels stop with giving you this opportunity because you don't clean up your shit!!!!

Thank you!!

Ideal place for cyclists. Hospedaje with large inner garden where you can work on your bike. Also, safe bike and luggage storage. Matr. Room for 45 soles (shared bathroom). Hot water. Internet is off and on.

Best value for money I think you can find in Cusco. You can park your motorcycle very secured in their courtyard. Clean shared bathroom and nice atmosphere but very basic rooms.
Paid 45sol for a twin room and 5 for the motorbike. Included a nice American breakfast (the first egg we got at a breakfast in 5 months South America).
The hotel seems to be for sale. So don't know how long it will last...
There is a cochera next door for cars.

Meeting point for bikers and cyclers. We had a great time here. The place is runned by a very friendly old men. There is space to do maintenance on your bike, we changed our oil and tyres here. If you travel by bicycle our motorcycle a must visit.

It's basic but the owners are old friendly and work hard themselves, it's a great place to meet other bikers so far 8 motorcycles in 2 days and 5 cyclists... It's been great fun don't miss it. Includes breakfast, tea coffee all day and there's a kitchen

Happy travels

We have been comfortable here for a week. Great courtyard for parking motos, decent wifi and bed, clean, friendly staff, hot shower (upstairs one is best!), and the location is perfect--close enough to Plaza Del Armas to walk (5-10 minutes) yet far enough away to be quiet at night. Paid 45 sols for matrimonial + 5 sols per day per bike. Love the traveler vibe.

Report Check-In

dissapointed that the hot water is a little above cold, and the wifi is fair at its best, and non-existant when the sun isn't out. breakfast is one egg, 2 pieces of bread, jam and butter, tea all day. good place to meet other bikers and it is close to things we needed; short walk to moto street. laundry service is good and 3.5 sol per kilo.

seems like a meeting point for cyclists and motorbike drivers.
20 sol per person
free tee all day

30 Sol for one person in double room with simple breakfast included. Rooms basic but clean. Bathrooms are kept agreeably salubrious. Showers are electric but work and location is good. Best of all seems a really good place to meet other two-wheeled overlanders. Rooms are set around a large courtyard and owners are moto friendly. Highly recommended.
