Pros:

It is decorated well and Ludwig is so nice! We had water problem and we got compensation for that and we could check out late.

The common area is very pretty too. We just stayed one night but I can definitely recommend.

Cons:

I don't like carpet in rooms but that is a personal thing.

Cozy corner in a perfect location to enjoy Cusco. Walking distance to everything, safe and lovely.
Pros:

An enchanting hideaway that’s unique, full of character and life and one block from Plaza de Armas. I genuinely wanted to move in and never leave. It was so comfortable and felt like home. Your host is kind, generous and quite hilarious. If you want a cozy place to stay that is affordable and skips all the party nonsense at the bigger hostels, this is perfect.

Excelente. Lo recomiendo al 100%
Pros:

Sin duda lo primero a resaltar es la atención de Ludwing. Excelente anfitrión, reservé el mismo día por la mañana y nos esperó hasta 11:50 pm para poder hacer el check in. Nos brindó todas las facilidades y siempre nos atendió con una sonrisa. En cuanto el alojamiento, la zona es muy céntrica, transitan taxis con facilidad y puede llegar a la plaza de armas a pie sin necesidad de escalones. El cuarto y baño contaban con lo necesario y se brindó múltiples frazadas para el frío.

Cons:

Considero que falta un poquito más de ventilación.
