Eco Aventura Hostel Cusco

The host was amazing, always happy and he gave us helpful advice on how to get to the ruins around Cusco. We were able to leave our bags before check in, during our hike to Machu Picchu and after check out. The breakfast was nice. The shower was hot. The room was big and clean. The location was good too, a walk from the main square but very close to the lovely San Blas area

Worked with us for early check in Team greating you were gorgeous and lovely Gave good insides to groceries Convenient breakfast by appointment So close to hilltop restaurant for view

Our water and power went out for the day. But did have people working on it immediately

We have been travelling across Europe, Asia, and Peru for five months, and this is one of the best stays by far. The family that runs this place is incredibly kind, welcoming and friendly. They have an amazing warmth, and are so helpful with anything you need. When we checked in they gave us a map and explained where all the nearby markets and attractions are. Location is good, close enough to everything but still in a quiet area. They also helped us find the collectivo stations, and arranged for a taxi to pick us up when we left. They let us stay in the room for an extra half an hour until the taxi came at no extra charge. Overall value for money is insanely good. The room itself was spacious and well-equipped with many big windows, and the bed was wonderfully comfy with soft, fluffy blankets and duvets. The shower is electric, so is always perfectly and instantly hot. They even have an affordable and excellent laundry service! As of January 2026, it was 6 soles/kg and when given in the morning, was returned the same evening! They also provided us with nice towels and free soap, and lent us a hair dryer for the entire stay. Hand soap is a liquid, refillable dispenser which we loved from a sustainability perspective. Then there was the complimentary breakfast. Coffee, delicious eggs, bread with jam and butter, and milk. One of us is gluten intolerant, and they gave us a bowl of hot water for instant oats. The fruit they cut up varied (mango, papaya, apple, blueberries, avocado, banana), and was always prepared very well and tasted perfectly ripe. This felt more like a home than a hostel. Cannot recommend highly enough!

The man running the place was nice, and the room was big. You also had lots of blankets... and we sure did need them. You could also boil water in the room as you had a stove.

We tried very hard not to freeze to death under 6 blankets as there was no heating in the room (this was in August, when it is winter). I got electrocuted slightly in the electrically-powered shower. Sometimes I could not access the main building because no one would answer my calls/door knocks.
