Hotel Plateros — Hotel in Distrito de Cusco

I checked into this hostel near to the main center because i had a lot of shopping to do. I also wanted my friends to be able to come and see me before leaving Cusco living there for 2 years. I had one friend who came to my room and on our way out an old man with a miserable looking unshaven old man sitting next to the check in desk started to yell and the girl I was with.||||The started to exchange words and at one point I heard him use the word 'prostitute'||||He must have been under the impression that the girl due to her Peruvian looks was there to give her service. I quickly run upstairs and packed my belongings then asked for a full and immediate refund.||||I was give a little over half the money back. ||||The hostel itself is quite dirty but the rooms themselves appeared to be clean with some of them given a moldy smell.

This hostal is just 1/2 block from the Plaza de Armas so it's location cannot be beat. There is nothing fancy about the hostal, but the rooms are adequate. The bed is firm, there is a flat screen TV in each room, and strong, reliable WiFi.
