The hostal is at good location, only 5 minutes walk to the centre. The couple are very nice and helpful. It didn’t have hot shower at the first night but the owner quickly solve the problem and fixed it right away. It’s a buget hostal and for a short stay.

Great little hostel right down the road from the main center. My son and I stayed here for 9 nights well adventuring around Cusco and the surrounding areas. The staff was always polite and happy to help, the beds were changed daily and most of all it was incredibly cheap. Pros - Cheap - Great location - Polite and helpful staff - The beds where surprisingly comfortable and they had layers of Alpaca blankets to keep you nice and warm at night. The only cons and they were not to big a deal for us. - Hot shower is hit or miss. - Our wireless was spotty, but I never really asked about it because I was on my network. -The room can get a little chilly, but you are in Peru!! - Cusco is a loud city, lots of honking and fireworks. If you need it to be quiet, ask for a room, not on the road. I didn't mind, it was great for people watching. Over all, great little place I would stay here again.

Adequate but cold

Adequate space, but it is cold. Difficult to adjust the hot water. Not so far from the centre but it is an uphill walk which is difficult at altitude

Chilly stay!

We stayed at this hostel on each side of two trips, storing luggage on site as we went out on other adventures. That worked well, and the owners/staff were really nice and accommodating of our comings and goings. But there were a couple of things that made the stay less than ideal; of the three rooms we stayed in, only one had a reliably hot shower, one warm, one pretty much just cold. Another problem was the lack of heat in the rooms--I knew that going in, but our first room, was basically open air, with lots of room for outside air to come in around the door, windows and roofline over the bathroom, and the temp that night dropped below freezing! Even with 3 alpaca blankets, it was cold--I slept in my down coat. Rooms right off the lobby still cooled down at night, but weren't as cold. But really, for the price, what did I expect?! Just next time I'd go at least a bit more upscale. Also, be aware that "pay at the hotel" means in cash in US dollars. Happily I had enough along to do so.

A nice family run traditional hostel.

A nice quiet little family run hostel in a solid old traditional Cusco building very close to Plaza de Armas. Caters principally for Peruvian travellers so you meet the thoroughly nice and very polite local guests in their own environment. Rooms are unheated as is traditional, but they'll lend a heater if you're cold in winter.

best hosts you could ask for!

We just came back from Cusco to Canada. we stayed two nights in this hostel. Eliana and her husband provided the best service you could asked for. They helped us booked tours, bought the bus tickets, storage the luggage when we were away and helped us so much more. It feels like a home away from our own home. Thank you for everything you did for us!

Excellent location for exploring Old Cusco

It can be cold in the mornings, but that is normal everywhere in the mountain hotels. The location is awesome for exploring the Old Historic District of Cusco, and I walked everywhere. Sacsayhuaman is a short hike right up the road from the hotel. The owners were very helpful and friendly all the time. It was a pretty good option especially for the Christmas season with Plaza de Armas right down the street!

No-frills hotel in a decent location

This place is good for a group of friends staying together in one room on the cheap, as most of the rooms had 3 beds each and the price can't be beat. It's locked up safely at night, and it's an easy walk to the main square. The beds were clean but one of the showers was a little gross on the ceiling. The staff was extremely nice and helpful and gave us great advice on where to go and what to see.

Hostal Kay Pacha was great value and just what we needed for our stay in Cusco. It's in walking distance from the Plaza, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The shower was not always hot, but could still be used. I would stay here again.

Good people and place

I stayed at Kay Pacha throughout my 2 1/2 week trip to Peru; it was kind of my home base. I stayed in three different rooms and all were comfortable. It gets a little cold at night, but that's why they have blankets and hot showers. The hotel staff held my bags while I trekked and took a trip to the jungle, which was extremely nice. The couple who runs the place were extremely helpful and pleasant.

Friendliest owners ever!

When we wanted to book an extra night and they didn't have any rooms available the owner walked to 5 other hostels down the street to find us a good one. Then when we arrived she walked us to the hostel. Unbelievable! You will never get better service than this.

Excellent choice for those on a budget

Clean rooms with comfy beds, hot showers and wifi. The hosts are amazingly accommodating, assisting us to find tours with reputable companies, and letting us keep our bags in storage and stay on the couch till our 10pm bus. Great base for exploring Cusco and surrounds, minutes to the main square. Definitely recommend.
