    A bit too noisy, people kept partying till late on some nights so it was difficult to rest before our tours which all started super early in the morning. Other than that, the hostel is great

    Super sociable environment. The host gave us a free welcome drink on the first night Lots of activities each day, from walking tours to club nights to dancing classes. They have a super efficient travel agency on site too who can sort out any connections you need to make during your trip

    Nice room, rude unfriendly staff

    Some of the reception staff were rude. I arrived just under an hour early, and it was as though I had inconvenienced the reception by being early. He made me wait until check in time; however proceeded to check in other travellers during this time. I was not shown where any of the common spaces were (I still don’t know where the kitchen was or if they had one), or told that I could get unlimited refills of water for 7 sol. The curtain at the end of my bed did not cover the full gap; therefore it was pretty useless. It would still let in light from other room mates. They “upgraded” my room and when I asked if I could have a second padlock to lock my things they wanted to charge me stating I knew that two would be needed. I had to explain to them several times that the bed I booked did not require two padlocks for the locker as it was a single only. I accidentally left brand new $550 headphones behind (completely my fault), but the response from the staff, when they did eventually respond was to “check with lost and found” and to “come collect them if they are there” despite the fact I had checked out that morning and had made them aware that I was now in another country. It took several messages to request evidence that they even had the headphones in their possession.

    The bathrooms and public spaces I viewed were clean. The bed was comfortable and the privacy curtain a nice touch.

    The hardwood floors are wild, they creak even if you breath near them. So it was quite hard to stay asleep during the night with people moving around in and out the room

    Viajero is always great fun. Staff is nice. It’s well located and clean

    It’s a great location, they have loads of great activities that you can involved in and meet people in the hostel. The staff are amazing and make the stay really special - I especially want to thank Ingrid on reception for always being smiley and helpful, the man on the front desk/security/baggage who always have a great welcome and was so friendly, and another woman on reception (who I didn’t catch the name of) and the maintenance man who were so lovely and helped me remove my lock from the locker when I lost my key!

    The showers could have been better, as they were a bit variable, my 10 bed dorm always had people coming in and out at all hours and the beds really should have all privacy curtains.

    The location is great, the staff are very friendly and it’s a super place to socialise and meet people.

    Friday and Saturday night there is a Dj and the music is ridiculously loud until 2am in the morning. Even with the provided ear plugs we could still hear the music which was not ideal.

    Private room was nice and there are lots of activities going on in the hostel. Cheap laundry and great location.

    Unfortunately the airport shuttle they had booked for me never arrived, despite me confirming a few hours before arrival. This unfortunately led to me being stuck at the airport at 1am with no way to get to the hostel. I ended up securing a taxi and it turned out to be a simple misunderstanding about a new flight arrival time which is unusual for the airport apparently. I would just triple check any transfers booked so you don’t have the same stressful experience.

    I booked a night here because I had a 2am arrival and the staff were very helpful and friendly after a bit of a disaster getting from the airport. It was very appreciated!

    Shower in the room was not good pressure & switched between hot/cold. Had dinner in restaurant 2 nights, food was good but took a long time to arrive.

    We stayed here before & after our salkantay trek & were able to store our backpacks. Staff on reception were amazing & so helpful especially Ingrid 😀 double room was comfortable & spacious. Lots of areas to chill after check out & activities planned everyday. Laundry was amazing, cheap, extremely fast & everything came back super fresh.

    The only slight problem was that in the first couple of nights they put us in a room right next to the hostel’s bar/restaurant. That resulted in loud noises until 12-1am in those first nights. As soon as we complained about it the staff was very understanding, and promptly changed our room to one where we had the silence we desired. Overall, it was a great experience with a slight hiccup but nothing that wouldn’t make me want to go back or recommend the place.

    The location is absolutely wonderful, the room was clean and the bed really comfortable.

    Nice property and gives a good old style feeling while still haveing more modern art. The facilities were as good as you’d can expect from a Hostel. Evening activities provided plenty of opportunities to meet other travelers without being a nuisance for people who wanted som wrest apart from the rest.
