Our stay here was uncomplicated and perfect for visiting Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu.
For a good price you get fantastic service, a comfortable and clean room, and breakfast.
The staff was always helpful and polite, we were also able to leave our luggage here after checking out so we wouldn't have to worry about it when we went up to Machu Picchu.
The room is simple but was clean and also comfortable when it came to the bed and temperature.
You can get breakfast from 5 to 8am included in the price of your stay - the early timing makes it possible to still have something to eat before heading up the mountain, even if you have an earlier tour.
Aguas Calientes is not big but the location is still great, very close to the train station, market, and buses to Machu Picchu. It's also not far from the hot springs, we walked about 15 minutes to get there.
All in all we can definitely recommend...
Read moreI do not recommend this hostel, if you’re in a pinch it’ll do the job but there are plenty of other options that might better suite you.
Bads: Shower smelled like mildew. Residents and staff started making noise very early, would ring bells at 7am we could hear from the 4th floor. Didn’t have any sound blockage. We couldn’t stay up talking at a reasonable voice without the staff calling to tell us to “quiet down.” Staff would blare music during early morning middle of day while cleaning (basically don’t expect to sleep in if you want to). Breakfast is very early and ends by 8. Unless you’re an early traveler you’re going to miss it. Constantly ran out of toilet paper and they did not restock (this led to some bathroom drama). No hand towels provided.
Goods: plenty of bedding to keep you warm. Location is ideal, but so is every spot here as it’s...
Read moreThe room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The size is okay for four people, although there isn't much extra space to move around. The bathroom had basic hygiene items, and the shower had good water pressure, although the shower area was small. All the staff were polite and attentive. Breakfast was quite basic but tasty. The location is excellent, close to the train station. Our room had windows facing the internal hallway with the stairs and the breakfast area, so we could hear every time someone passed by or talked, which could be a problem for guests who are sensitive to noise. Because of the noise, we had to keep the windows closed, which created a feeling of claustrophobia. We asked for a small fan to help with that discomfort. The power outlets seemed wider than normal, and our plugs didn't fit properly, even when...
