Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are basic — While clean and comfortable, the rooms are described as basic rather than luxurious. The dormitory options are shared, and the quadruple room is the only one with a private bathroom mentioned.
- Breakfast is simple — The breakfast is satisfying but not elaborate, as noted by a guest. If you expect a full spread, you might be underwhelmed.
- Check-out is early — Check-out is at 9:00, which is early for a hostel. This may be a consideration if you have a late morning.
- Parking may be limited — Parking is available, but in the narrow streets of Cusco, it might not be spacious. The exact capacity is not specified.
