I had an incredible experience at this hostel in the San Blas neighborhood. the location was perfect, just a short walk from the main square in Cusco. the old house with stone walls and balconies added to the authentic charm. the common room and small deck provided great spaces to relax and enjoy the stunning city view. the staff were friendly, helpful, and made me feel connected to the environment. My double room with ensuite was warm and comfortable. great value for the price. Cons: It was all superb! 😊.

Stayed at a well-organized, clean and cozy hostel in a great location. We received excellent touristic support from James, a friendly and well trained staff member who also works as a tourism agent. He made our trip to Cusco lovely by helping us with activities and recommendations. The hostel is close to fantastic cafes and restaurants in the San Blas area. we highly recommend Samay Wasi Hostel I for backpackers who want to enjoy Cusco and the surrounding region!

Great variety of rooms with unbeatable prices in terms of views and calm environment. Friendly and knowledgeable staff who are quick to help in case of any issues. Convenient amenities such as 24/7 hot boiled water and tea, as well as a simple but delicious breakfast service. Perfect location for hiking and exploring nearby attractions.
Some mattresses were uncomfortable. Limited breakfast options.

Samay Wasi Hostel I exceeded my expectations in every way. the hostel's location in the San Blas neighborhood was perfect, with nice restaurants and cafes nearby. the view from the terrace was absolutely breathtaking, and I enjoyed sipping tea while taking in the scenery. the hostel also provided a free transfer from the airport, which was very convenient. the rooms were clean and comfortable, with warm beds and strong water pressure in the showers. the breakfast, with freshly squeezed orange juice and tea, was a nice touch. Samay Wasi Hostel I offered great value for the region and I would highly recommend it for anyone visiting Cusco. Cons: Nothing that I didn't like 😊.

Located near the main square, this lovely hostel offers stunning views of the city from its hilltop position. The rooms are cozy and warm, with comfortable beds ensuring a good night's sleep. The staff is friendly and available 24/7, providing helpful support and recommendations. The breakfast is delicious, with freshly squeezed orange juice and tea on offer. The communal areas are clean and provide a great space to meet other travelers.
The communal indoor space can feel a bit crowded, especially when interrupting guests working on their laptops.

Spectacular views of the city. Helpful and friendly staff. - Comfortable and well-laid-out rooms with good heating and pressure in the shower. - Common lounge and large deck with great views. - Good Wi-Fi and tea/coffee making facilities. - Convenient location in a neighborhood with artisan boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants.
The steps to access the hostel may be challenging for those acclimatizing to the altitude. There was a problem with the heater in one of the rooms, but it was promptly resolved.
