Testimonials
Hostel reviews from Booking:
- Best of all, the staff Katy, Karen and Yaqui. Between them they made my stay perfect. Every morning they cooked us a super delicious breakfast, while the rooms were cleaned. They gave me good recommendations for things to do in the city, and I especially owe Katy a big kiss for always being there helping me, talking to me and being the best of everything. In general, this hostel has built the perfect vibe for Cusco, a sociable but still very quiet place for you to rest, good for waking up early for excursions. – Warren, United Kingdom.
- Very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Each member of staff even knew my name and the names of the other guests, which made you feel right at home. I had 3 stays at this hostel during my stay in Peru. All the rooms were a little different, but the beds were always very comfortable & bathrooms very clean with hot water. The hostel is located in a residential area of Cusco with good and cheap restaurants nearby. The walk to the historic city center takes only 10 minutes. – Anja, Germany.
- The staff is very nice and welcoming, always ready to help with everything. Good cuisine. Great breakfast included. Large bathrooms. The storage room was really useful. Very clean and organized. I would definitely recommend it!!! – Hema, United Kingdom.

Amazing Hostel
Our stay at Hospedaje Turistico Recoleta, was great. The hostel was clean and nice, and the people working there were very friendly and helpful. It is located very close to the main square, in walking distance. It is very clean, and they have a great social room, where you can watch movies, play tabletennis and more. Will definetily stay there if I ever come back to Cusco.

Home base in Cusco
Incredible staff, made me feel welcome from the moment I stepped in. The whole hospedaje feels cosy and homely, and the beds are like a warm hug. Very comfortable with several high quality quilts on every bed. The staff also helped me organise a tour on the day I arrived, stored my luggage when I went to Machu Picchu, and found my dropped earrings that I forgot about whilst leaving for a tour at 4am! Really wonderful place, very close to facilities, colectivos, and easy to walk everywhere. Made my Cusco experience that much special.

This hostel was amazing. Me and my partner stayed here on three separate occasions during our trip; used it like a home base in between treks. Upon returning from the treks we always felt at home. It was very clean. The staff was incredible. In particular, Javier was instrumental assisting us plan out our treks. Without his help we would not have had nearly as good as an experience in the Cusco area. All staff were extremely hard working, courteous and friendly. I would recommend this hostel to anyone.

Incredibly Friendly and Great Location
My partner and I stayed at Recoleta for 3 nights (2 nights before a trek and 1 night after). Two things really struck me: the friendliness of the staff and the location. Staff: Everyone at Recoleta welcomes you like family. For example, they all learn your name. They are also constantly checking up on whether you are satisfied with your stay. It is a great environment. Location: While this hostel is not in the center of the touristy part of the town, it is incredibly close (13 min walk). I preferred staying here than in the center of Cusco because restaurants in the area are for locals (not tourists) and, hence, are much cheaper (and more delicious). It is also really easy for tours to pick you up here (in contrast to the center of Cusco). I highly recommend this place!

Sweet staff, adorable decor, quaint neighborhood
I felt like I was home here! Staff was so sweet and knew my name from day 1. Eclectic collection of toy cars, vintage beer, and other sculptures and art around, and unlimited coca tea to help with the elevation. Breakfast was something different each day, always with bread, butter, and jam. A 15 minute walk from the main tourist center of town was accessible while feeling more in a neighborhood with hole in the wall picanterias. I would rather stay here than closer to the tourist buzzing. They were also willing to hold my bag for several days while I went into the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with minimal travel items. I wanted to stay here for longer! Wifi was spotty but worked enough, especially after staff rebooted it. Beds were comfy and warm in spite of the cool nights in Cusco, but the building is overall open-air so warm clothes might be needed when going to the kitchen for breakfast. Very down to earth and attracted travelers who I would describe that way too.

Hostel Turistico recoleta, Cusco
Lovely hostel a short walk from the historical centre and main plaza. Really really nice, helpful owners and workers. Quite chilled out with a nice terrace and communal area. Showers were hot with good pressure and breakfast was fine! They have really good advice for tourism activities and you can pay them to go on certain day tours.

My Home Away from Home!
We were thrilled for such a great, comfortable stay when we first got into Cusco! This place is family run with the sweetest cat and most comfortable accommodations ever! We are so thankful to Marcelo & his father -- we almost stayed at a different place and they helped us understand why it was so low in cost, and even found us another place to go [drove to go see if they had availability & everything!] when we had to keep moving! We are so thankful for their help and it made our stay SO much easier, better, and warmer! <3 We love you guys, and Peppa! :) <3
