Xplora Hostel Cusco

Great vibes friendly staff laundry on site very clean

A bit far from centre of city but beautiful walk

This place honestly became my home in Cusco. The staff were amazing, the people I met here were awesome, and everyone was so kind and welcoming. I ended up extending my stay because I was having such a great time. It’s super affordable, comfortable, and they can help you book tours too. I made great memories here and I’m really grateful for everything. If I come back to Cusco, I’ll definitely stay here again. Thank you so much! 🙏❤️

It was very cozy, quiet and clean. The staff was suuuper friendly and I felt very safe over there. I was traveling alone as a female and felt extremely comfortable over there. Felt really sad to leave.

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.
