    Simple hostel but it has everything. Beds are comfortable. It is out of the city centre (5min walking to the main roads of the centre, 15min to the main square/cathedral). Anyway I felt quite secure to walk alone in the night and in the early...

    Apart from just being a lovely place to stay, Praxi (apologies for the spelling?) was and exceptional host and amazingly patient about explaining what I needed to do regarding tours. Something I'd never come across before is curtains around bunks....

Xplora Hostel is a welcoming, friendly, comfy and human accommodation, where you can feel at home away from home :) INSTALLATIONS: We offer three common areas where you can share with other travelers, a large shared kitchen, several bathrooms distributed on three floors, and 5 bedrooms (2 shared and 3 private). Each bed in the shared rooms have their own curtain so that you can have more privacy and less light. There are also lockers so you can store your valuables, and each bed has its own plugs and light. We have a small bar where you can hang out and listen to music. The facilities are smoke-free, and we have a television where you can watch movies.
SERVICES: Don't worry, we have hot water 24 hours a day, free breakfast, good Wi-Fi in all the facilities, luggage storage, many plugs and good security. We can also help you with the laundry. We have a travel agency so that you can organize your tours, at very good prices and with the certainty that you will get a good service. Furthermore, we also offer a transfer service, and you can contact us to reserve one for you from the airport to the hostel. We can provide you with information about the events that take place every week in Cusco. Every day we clean all the hostel facilities, and we take care of resolving any inconvenience that our guests might encounter. At night it is cold, but we assure you that the blankets will keep you warm. We offer free breakfast every morning, snack bar and soon we will be opening our bar with craft beer.
LOCATION We are located 1.7 km from Plaza de Armas, and 1 km from the Historic Center. This location allows more tranquility, silence, security and local authenticity. In the diameter of three blocks around the hostel you can find markets to buy snacks and basic needs, Rappi delivery service and restaurants to buy delicious and cheap food. To get from the Cusco airport to the hostel, you can take a taxi, which will charge between 20 and 30 soles (depending on whether you take it at the exit or inside the airport). Popular points of interest near Xplora Hostel Cusco include Central Market, Coricancha and La Merced Church. The nearest airport is Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport, 4.4 km from the accommodation. This is our guests' favorite part of Cusco, according to independent reviews.
