An Incan needle in a haystack!!

1) There should NOT 2 addresses on the website for this property: The Av Ejercito listing is impossible to find since - despite the receptionist's insistence - the hotel does not display a sign with it's name visible from this road The 'Esmeralda Avenue' listing needs clearer direction to able to find it 2) With just 3 sentences any foreigner arriving to Cusco (perhaps in the dark) could find this hostel 3) The receptionist was kind enough to come to the nearest bridge - Puente Grau to find me They do have Cable TV in English

Try to ask for a room with sun

The hostel is big, our first room was cold and dark. Our second room was bright with Windows. If you're lucky you'll get a sunny room. There was lots of confusion on the room we booked due to the language barrier. In the end it worked out. The hostel is a 10 min walk from the main square but we didn't mind the walk.

OK in Aguas Calientes

Close to the train station. Close to restaurants. Close to the Machu Picchu Shuttle bus. More expensive than it's worth, but that's Aguas Calientes. Everything is overpriced to fleece the tourist.

Acogedora

La amabilidad y la disposición para ayudar al cliente es lo más relevante. También, la ubicación a tres cuadras de la Plaza de Armas de Puno. Hay otro, el I, más cerca al lago. WiFi bueno. Pude utilizar la pc para mi trabajo, pero solo te imprimen gratis la tarjeta de embarque, no otros documentos. El desayuno compuesto del mate, pan, mantequilla, mermelada y huevitos revueltos. Colchón cómodo. Puedes pagar en efectivo o con tarjeta.
