A Home Away from Home in Cusco

I had a fantastic stay at Samay Wasi Hostel and felt right at home from the moment I arrived. The hostel is in a great location in Cusco, is spotlessly clean, and had the best shower of my entire trip with reliable, constant hot water.
I'd like to give a special thank you to James Aguilar, the Manager, who organised my trip to Machu Picchu and shared countless helpful recommendations and local advice throughout my stay. His knowledge and willingness to help made a huge difference to my experience.
I would highly recommend Samay Wasi Hostel to anyone visiting Cusco, and I strongly encourage travellers to speak with James when planning their activities. Thank you again, James, for making my stay so memorable!

Helpful staff at the hostel doing the best within their capacity. View from the promises fantastic. But the owner not being around, whose residency in Lima, he seems not to be aware of the condition of the accommodation.
Cusco is the tourist town, but budget lodging should not justify the discomfort of the stay.
The first thing we realized by opening the door, strange odour! We investigated what’s the source. No P-Trap in the drain pipe! = It’s coming from the sewage. In fact we were wondering why some people at private rooms keeping windows open in the cold weather.
The room was originally cold and humid, because of the stone wall, feeling like in a cave. Windows; basically only thin single glass panels. Then either no heating or heating for a few hours unless you spoke with the reception in the middle of the night. They tried to compensate with 3 layer of heavy blankets provided. One guest we spoke to, used his own sleeping bag.
We could accept a rather small room, but limited storage space, a lack of shelf and hanging hooks in the room were hard to manage. Also had to charge cellphones by unplugging the bedside lamp. Upstairs breakfast was served with freshly squeezed orange juice, but their kitchen downstairs extremely small as a youth hostel setting for guests.
Again as many reviews mentioned, the staff were friendly and helpful providing us with the tips on transportations, and also prepared us a bag of snacks for our early morning departure.
We hope the owner read this feedback and improve the condition of the hostel.

Great hostel!

Great hostel, very well located in the San Blas neighborhood. The beds are very comfortable and the breakfast is plentiful!
Special mention to James Aguilar (+51993308407) who recommended and booked numerous excursions for us and guided us on our first day in the city.

Incredible hospitality and views of the city of Cusco were the highlights of the hostel for me. The staff works hard to create a very comfortable and welcoming environment, and are happy to help with any requests you might have. The included breakfast is lovely and eating it on their porch overlooking Cusco cannot be beat. I'll be recommending this hostel to any friends that visit Cusco.

Very good location
