Flying Dog Hostel Cusco — Hotel in Distrito de Cusco

Not as advertised. Definitely different from my experience at the flying dog in Arequipa|||Firstly, the hostel staff are very nice. Another positive is that it provides a free breakfast that will curb morning hunger before heading out for a real breakfast.|||Please note that there are NO lockers even though they advertise having lockers - it's actually just a shelf. The showers are lukewarm at best and the broken window in it provides for a miserable experience. The dorm rooms are situated right beside the common room and bathroom, so you hear everything! You'll also have to navigate a ridiculous staircase that is near impossible with backpacker bags. The internet cuts out all the time, so even trying to escape by finding a new hostel proved a challenge. |||They also had workers right outside my room, which was probably a fluke, but not great to experience.|||They are also the only hostel I've seen that charges to store your bags during a tour. |||There reality is that for what you pay, there are better options. Honestly, I found several private rooms with a private bathroom and breakfast for the same price.|||So many...

This hostel is out to make a buck and does not value reservations. My partner and I made a reservation for a double private room and on arrival we were informed we did not have a resrvation, we were placed in a dorm for the night. We then went on a 4 day trekk and booked to stay in the flying dog for 2 nights on our return. This resvervation was made on the system as I witnessed a staff member make the reservation. Upon arrival after our 4 day trekk we were informed we did not have a reservation, it was 2 am in the morning and they essentially said sorry there's nothing they can do, that all the rooms were taken. If you are looking to book a hostel in advance and to be gaurunteed accomdation I suggest you book with another hostel.||On the plus side the staff are friendly and did...

I stayed two nights in flying dog and actually everything seems to be okay. Its not a party place very calm, small and not many people there. I stored my bag in the hostel during my trip to Machu Picchu. As I came back one day later in the evening the woman at the reception (not miriam) was very unfriendly. I forgot my towel in my room the day before and she didnt want to let me go to take my towel. After a longer discussion I was allowed to get up and take the towel. Than she wanted to have 3 Soles for storing my bag!! I think this was not a rule made by the Hostel.. Just her own rules!! ||I will not come back to flying dog. Sad! Because the rest was okay when you are looking for a quiet place and dont want to have much contact...
