This hotel is simple but close to the city center. The staff is friendly and accommodating. They helped us organize tours to Laguna Paron and Laguna 69. There was hot water. Recommend getting a room that’s not directly overlooking the street because the traffic is very noisy.

I'll begin with the good points: the hostel itself is generally clean and the hot water from the shower is in abundance- which as any person travelling through Peru will know is not always something that can be taken for granted.

However, this hostel lets itself down drastically in terms of atmosphere. There is no common room facility which makes it extremely awkward if you are waiting for transport later in the day- in our case a night bus which did not leave until 10pm. Service from the staff leaves a lot to be desired and knowledge of the English language is non-existent. My advice: look to stay elsewhere and find a more homely atmosphere.
