Xplora Hostel Cusco

Polite staff and a lovely little hostel. Clean room and comfortable.

Maybe slightly out the centre but not to far of a walk or uber is cheap and short enough.

excellent location - short walk to plaza de armas. quiet neighbourhood. clean, very comfortable beds, sockets and lights by the bed, lockers in the room. staff was super welcoming, friendly and helpful! i really enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again!

Great little place to stay in Cusco. They held my bags for me while I went off trekking and always tried to help me in any way they could. The walk into town is lovely, and the fact that it is a little out of the way (by no means far) encourages you to see more of Cusco. All the ladies who run the place are very kind. The hostel is also immaculately clean - by far the cleanest I’ve had in Peru. Lastly, the laundry service was super cheap and efficient.

The place is clean, and the showers are hot. And they let you leave your bags while doing Salkantay.

I got the worst sleep in this hostel out of any I've been in. The floor is wooden and so creaky, and the bunk beds are all joined together. The result is that when anyone moves around the room normally, it sounds like they're stomping like a giant and the entire bed shakes. With people getting up early to do tours from 2am, there is only a very small window between 11pm and 2am where uninterrupted sleep is actually possible. I was also overcharged by 10 sol when I checked in, as they insisted on using a USD/SOL exchange rate of 3.8, when the actual exchange rate is 3.4. You're not even allowed to wash a couple of pairs of pants without being told off, all so that you have to use their laundry service. It's a hostel, people washing a small amount in between full laundry should be expected and catered for. Also got told off for eating breakfast in the wrong place, and leaving a mug to dry on the draining board. Didn't like the vibe of this place, it felt very unfriendly from the staff. And the location is quite far out of town.
