I booked it. Took a cab from airport. Then in the rain realized it was closed. Found a hotel near by. I don’t know what to think. Maybe it’s COVID. But it worked out with another hotel. It’s full of hotels. And it’s a great place to stay (Cusco). Enjoy

Cute courtyard. Lots of character. It’s a bit of a hike from the main square and San Blas. The return home was a bit brutal during the first few days when I hadn’t acclimatised well yet. But otherwise it is excellent value for money.

The place was well organized, the rooms were clean, comfy and organized. The staff was very helpful and professional, as well as kind. They assisted with recommended eateries, requesting rides and storing valuables. The area is also friendly. This hostel is a decently priced lodging for a humble stay at Cuzco.

Very thin walls and noisy when guests are there. Dingy and dirty. Pillows and bedding worn. They kept the front entrance locked and sometimes wouldn't answer to let me in for a long time.

It was a good location and quiet. The staff was excellent and helpful. Our only complaint was the 'tea and coffee' service- the water used was not purified and gave us gastro-intestinel problems. The breakfast was extremely basic, fresh fruit would have been nice.

Disliked: Room comfort
We absolutely loved the location of the property. The employees were all very helpful and resourceful. Additionally, we loved the chilling area right outside the rooms, it was always very cozy and inviting. Never the less, the room we stayed at was very cold and the bathroom had no ventilation making it too uncomfortable for showers as all the items ended up wet inside the bathroom.

The hotel is wedged between two busy streets, traffic all night long with very little sound proofing. A small space heater was provided but it was very cold since the bathroom window pane was broken. Staff was great and the breakfast was good.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Nice staff, but most don’t speak English (no problem though as they’re very accommodating). Definitely gets cold, just ask for a heater. The walls are incredibly thin & it gets very noisy, just bring earplugs. Rooms are small but clean & have the basics. The whole place smells like cigarette smoke as people can smoke in the courtyard & they don’t offer laundry services anymore. A good place to stay & save $$

It was a pleasant stay at Cusi Wasi. Johanna was very kind with our family and helped us at all times with interesting and useful information of sites and things around the area during our stay. She always had a smile and very informative of the area. She recommended a great tour guide and driver, who went above and beyond our expectations. He made sure we had a great time while touring the Sacred Valley. Eder Gonzalito took us to all the circuit places associated with the Sacred Valkey and showed us the most traditional local places for eating, shopping and sightseeing. We definitely recommend them both to friends, family and any one visiting Cuzco.

Stay away!
Dissapointed, it does not offer breakfast nor a shuttle, room was dirty, found a hair ball in one of the drawers. Had to keep requesting towels and toilet paper. After a long day wanted to rest a watch some T.V. but the front desk guy never found the remote control during our stay. Would never stay there again !

Perfect for a Cusco Holiday!
It was a great, cozy hostel, with a wonderful set of people. We had free breakfast, comfortable rooms, and all the required amenities. The coffee was fantastic and the staff were really friendly and polite. It is located very optimally - only about 10 minutes away from the central Plaza in Cusco, with beautiful surroundings. It is very easy to get anywhere in Cusco from here by taxi right outside the hostel. They even provide city tours, and tour packages for those who haven't booked in advance and are very helpful with information about Cusco city. They have very tasteful interiors and it is peaceful just to sit in their beautiful lobby and have some coffee or coca tea :) I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is going to Cusco for a vacation and needs a calm, beautiful place to stay and make their vacation that much perfect! Thank you!

Good Price - Great Place
Nice and quiet hostal pretty close to everything. The staff is very friendly. My room was a bit cold but they provide a ton of blankets and a plug in portable heater. Hot water in shower every time and toilet flushes well. I love the price as well. Great place.

Lovely spot, a quick walk into town and central bits of Cuzco and market, helpful staff, good breakfast and love the fact I can help myself to tea anytime. Hot water showers are always welcome too, I definitely would recommend this place to fellow travelers and friends. Quiet in the off peak season, although beers could be better priced

Not good for non-smokers. Hostal has a closed central living area surrounded by guest rooms where guests are allowed to smoke. Our room became filled with smoke and we could not open the windows to let the smoke out.
