I had a really pleasant stay at Magar Hostel in Cusco. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable — a great place to relax, especially after long days exploring the city. The breakfast was tasty and filling, and I appreciated the on-site café/restaurant for a quick bite or coffee. The location is perfect: just a few minutes from the main square, yet quiet enough to rest peacefully.

Rómulo and Helga were so helpful throughout my entire stay - they personally picked me up from the airport and dropped me to the bus station. Rómulo was especially helpful by leading me personally to the bus terminal where we realised it was the wrong one - he drove me and dropped me personally to the correct one! I would have been lost without him. They always checked on me and made sure my safety (being a solo traveller) was a top priority. They organised all transportation I needed for tours, and provide their own private tours at a competitive price. The property is located in a quiet area within walking distance of many lesser known Inca archaeological sites, notably the Temple of the Moon which is a 5 minute walk away! Rómulo brings all the guests here when they have a chance, and shares his extensive knowledge of Inca/Pre-Incan history. The area is great for hiking and a short walk (approx 15 mins) downhill to San Blas. The rooms are gorgeous, clean and comfortable, with hot bottles provided every night during the cold season. I would definitely recommend this place for first-time travellers to Peru and solo travellers who might be anxious - Rómulo and Helga will definitely put you at ease and make your stay an enjoyable and memorable one.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The location is great, it’s a huge social hostel, lots of opportunities to meet other travellers. I took a private room before my Inca Trail hike, and the rooms are designed well. The team is very warm, and there are lots of activities happening everyday. Lots of common areas. Cheap and quick laundry as well!
