  • DaisyUnited Kingdom · 14 Apr 2026 6Pleasant

    Good price for private room but can find more peaceful places for the same price

    Liked : Good location, short walk to the main plaza. Room was clean. Laundry service was very efficient. Breakfast was good but quite basic. However can’t complain for the price.

    Disliked : It’s not the best place if you plan on going to sleep early. The corridors to the rooms are in an open space like an atrium so you can hear everything. I personally wouldn’t stay again because of it but maybe we’re getting old now!

    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
  • ViktoriaAustria · 2 Mar 2026 10Exceptional

    Liked : The hostel is very clean. We enjoyed the rooftop a lot, also the breakfast was nice. They offer many activities. Because of off season it was almost empty of people.
    The price performance is good.

  • ElaineBrazil · 29 Dec 2025 10Exceptional

    Liked : Magic Parker Hostel is a beautiful place that truly feels like a work of art. The rooms are comfortable, the shower has hot water, and the breakfast is more than adequate. The location is excellent, making it easy to get around, and the staff are extremely helpful and kind. I had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

    • Twin Room with Private Bathroom
  • EllenCanada · 9 Oct 2025 7Good

    Really good value, comfy and clean.. but not the ideal location!

    Liked : The rooms are really good, and comfy beds! The breakfast (eggs) each morning were tasty and free. Good price and really clean bedsheets.

    Disliked : The location is not great.. it’s about 20 min walk to the nice parts of the city, and the streets often smelled really bad. We stayed in San blas before and it felt so much nicer and safer.

    A lot of the offered services are not actually available- we tried to get a massage and do a pisco sour class (both advertised and offered) one day and both were unavailable, eggs were unavailable one morning too. I also had to pay 10 soles for a towel.

  • AidanUnited Kingdom · 26 Aug 2025 10Exceptional

    Liked : Amazing room with a comfy bed. Delicious breakfast and free coca tea. Friendly and helpful staff.

    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
  • EmilianoBelgium · 6 May 2025 9Exceptional

    Liked : -They can store bags and things for you during your trips (e.g. camino inca, etc)
    -The last floor has a cool common area with free hot drinks and friendly staff including a very cute chubby dog i loved. Also they have karaoke, pool and mini football.
    -Common bathrooms stay clean and theres toilet paper. Showers have hot water, no complain.
    -Staff is always friendly

    Disliked : -Not the fault of the hotel: A train passes by every day and its horn is very loud. However i fixed it with a pair of ear plugs

  • JanaNetherlands · 23 Apr 2025 6Pleasant

    Liked : Warm blankets and comfortable bed. Big rooftop where you can spend leisure time.

    Disliked : The property is not that clean. Even after daily cleaning the bathroom would still not look clean. Hairs would still be in the room. Often no toiletpaper and very mesy toilets. Not always hot water.

  • AoifeIreland · 18 Apr 2025 8Very good

    Nice hostel but noisy at night

    Liked : Nice location, staff were friendly, breakfast of eggs / fruit / bread was nice. Hot showers.

    Disliked : All rooms look down on main reception which can be loud late at night and early in the mornings at 3/4am when people are heading out for tours. Expect restless sleep.
    Nowhere to hang towels to dry in rooms.

    • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
  • AbiUnited Kingdom · 17 Apr 2025 7Good

    Ok room, but issues with water!!

    Liked : Clean and tidy, decent sized private room. Breakfast is basic but nice. Dylan, who runs breakfast, is lovely, couldn't do enough for youm

    Disliked : Room lacking some basics, such as hooks to dry towels. No water at night and they completely ran out of water one day - although I think this was a one off maintenance issue

    • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
  • HishamUnited States · 19 Feb 2025 9Exceptional

    Excellent location and place to explore Cusco.

    Liked : The place had a comfortable common space on the terrace. The owner Ruth was a hospitable and helpful host. The staff were helpful and friendly. The artwork was fabulous.
