Samay Wasi Youth Hostels Cusco

Had an amazing stay here at Samay Wasi. Room was a good size, very clean and the bed was comfy. Shower was excellent, great pressure and warm. Breakfast was good and the view of Cusco from upstairs was impressive. The staff were friendly and the local cat was a bonus ! Price was very good for the quality of stay.

My biggest recommendations for Samay hostel. I stayed there for four nights and everything was great. The host and staff were always helpful, the rooms were nice, clean and they had the most amazing view of Cusco from the terrace.||It’s a small, cozy hostel with everything you need.

Unfortunately, I cannot share all the amazing and positive views from my fellow travellers. First, when we arrived, one of the guys at the reception was quite pushy on asking us about our plans on Cusco and if we want some tours with him (bare on mind it was late and we were really tired). Second, while the room was very basic (which was ok), a few things bothered us: It was extremely cold in the room and the heater did not work properly, and the room was very small so we didn't have much space to put any of our belongings. The worst however was the shower. While we appreciate that the shower was hot, the shower head fell off multiple times and sometimes even hit us on the head. The whole bathroom was very rusty which could explain why the shower head would no longer stay in place. Given the price of the private room, it was not justified. We changed accommodations and found a much better place with a better price.

I stayed 10 days in SWYH and enjoyed my stay. I had booked a private room and I was surprised how good it was (Room Nr.9 on the upper floor), From here I had a great panoramic view of Cusco even while lying on my bed :-). But of course the view from the hostel is over all excellent. The staff is very attentive and customer driven - from the reception Desk to the kitchen. Thanks to all. Breakfast is ok. I didn´t use the kitchen utilities. I didn't use the kitchen utensils, but I noticed that people prepared some really nice dishes.|The private rooms on the 2nd floor are also preferable because of the view and they are more quiet.

We stayed for one night here and were able to leave our bags for 5 days while we went trekking. Its a lovely quiet hostel in San Blas. We had a very nice double ensuite room with a great (and very hot) shower. Breakfast was nice (bread, jam, butter, scrambled egg) and the staff have been very helpful. The view from the terrace is amazing. We would have stayed longer if there had been space

I stayed in this hostel for 5 nights, 3 in private room and 2 in dormitory. It's my favourite hostel in 5 months' travel! Situated in the mervellous barrio of San Blas. Cusco's view from the terrace and the private room at the second floor is breath-taking! Staff is incredible: always helping, nice and professional (all of them: receptionists and cleaning staff). Very good breakfast (eggs, thè, coffee with milk, natural orange juice, fresh bread with butter and jam). Beds are large and confortable, sheets smell nice, very clean bathrooms with very hot water (at the right pression!). Wonderful terrace and 2 wonderful "sitting rooms" where you can socialize. There is also a kitchen! Assistance 24/24 hours, very secure hostel. The cherry on the cake: the kitten Pepina, I loved her! I left this hostel almost crying, because it has been my home in Cusco :). Thanks especially to Christian!!!!!

This hostel is very cozy and accommodating with wonderful view of the city. This hostel is very quiet as well with clean common areas that have guitars and games. It is so cool to eat breakfast and have an amazing view of the city. Also the views from the common terrace at night are also great.

A place with very good atmosphere, most helpful staff, quiet and situated near Cusco center.||Breakfast at the terrace looking over the city and the mountains was something.||James was very helpful with investigating what we could explore in the Cusco area.
