Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, always willing to help out. There's an option for off-street parking if you have a car (though the space is pretty tight). HOT SHOWERS, great location, comfortable accommodation. A great value for the price.

Two minor things: 1) The wifi cut out a couple of times-- very reasonable if you're just using it for personal stuff, but I wouldn't rely on it for work. 2) You need a staff member to both let you into the building (pretty standard), but also to leave (a bit weird). The staff is responsive and can open the gate within a minute or two, but if you're trying to leave at an odd hour (and socially anxious) it can be a minor hassle.

Coco (the owner) and his wife, literlly saved me with a room available when I left one night in the rain from another horrible accomodation. He is super friendly and loves to chat. I felt safe and I liked the vintage-y style of the hotel. I would definately go back there if again in Cusco. Great value for money. I am never after luxuries or crazy requests and for a single traveler it was great. Also i wanted a hotel just of the buzzing center and this was it! Great value for money too!

These are no issues to me, but I am writing in case you expect something else: hot water is slow and the hotel is old. Kitchen is not the best but none of these things are important to me.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making sure I had everything I needed. Every morning, the breakfast was freshly prepared by the owner, and it was absolutely delicious – you can really taste the care that goes into it. One memorable moment during my stay was when I left the hotel for a day and accidentally forgot my padlock. The owner went out of his way to find it for me, which I really appreciated. The hot water in the shower was also excellent, always consistent and at the perfect temperature. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again!

The only downside is that the checkout time is 9 a.m., which is a little early.

I had the pleasure of staying at hotel during my recent trip to Cusco, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The location is perfect—next to the heart of the city, within walking distance of the main attractions like the Plaza de Armas and the historic San Pedro Market. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always eager to help with any requests or questions I had. They helped to store my luggage while I was visiting other city. The hotel itself is charming, comfortable. . My room was cozy, and well-appointed with all the amenities I needed Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Everything was perfect! We arrived at the hotel early after a long ride on the night bus and were able to check into the rooms very early. The rooms are well equipped and the shower has great water pressure and the water is hot! We received a lot of information about Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. The breakfast is very plentiful and delicious. When we got sick, the hosts called a doctor and we were very well looked after. The hosts are just super nice and incredibly helpful. We can't thank them enough for the great time we had in Cusco. The location is central, and all the sights are a 10-minute walk away. The WiFi is also fast and works smoothly. We absolutely recommend the hotel! Everything was perfect.

The hosts were super kind and helpful. They gave us information about the hostel and the city. We were able to check-in early, leave our luggage there for free, use the kitchen and have our laundry washed. We got 2 rooms in our own cute corridor and thus had a private bathroom. We felt like we were at home. The hosts are available 24/7 and always opened the door for us. They also responded quickly on Booking and they had a guide visit us to give us some information about tours. We ended up booking the Inca Jungle Trek with them and everything went smoothly.

We think it could become even better if they provide soap, hair dryers and towels for free.

Amazing accommodation, Coco & Ana were the nicest hosts. At check in they provided us with all the info we needed. The room was spacious, the bed has very warm blankets so you aren’t cold during the night. The shower was hot constantly & great water pressure. Wi-Fi was strong. Breakfast was delicious & made fresh each morning. They also stored our luggage for 4 nights when we went to the Salkantay trek & had everything ready for us to stay 1 more night after our trek. Location is a 10 minute walk to the Main Street but it is well worth it as there is 2 supermarkets nearby

El Tuco exceeded all my expectations! The hosts are incredibly friendly and always happy to help with anything you need. After mentioning that I was practicing Spanish, they even gave me a little class!! Most importantly, the hotel is super clean, feels very safe, and has everything you could ask for: strong WiFi, coworking space and a HOT shower with fantastic pressure (which is super hard to find in Cusco!) and an overall welcoming atmosphere. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay—highly recommend!

We had the best time in El Tuco Hostel! The room was very big, the shower hot with a good pressure, the beds are comfortable and everything is very clean. Wifi also worked well. They have a nice kitchen where you can also cook by yourself. We had the complimentary breakfast, which was very good and different every morning. It was so nice, that we extended our stay twice. When we went for a hike, it was possible to store our bags for free and when we came back after a few days it felt like coming home :)

My room was huge! The SHOWER WAS HOT! The bathroom was big! The place has awesome character! The family that owns it, Ana, Coco and their daughter Andrea were so kind and supportive. They helped me with laundry, same day, directions wherever I asked, suggestions for a manicure, how to barter for a better price and I had access to a hair dryer! The place is so secure because only they open the door for you. I felt so safe! I 100% would stay there again and would recommend it.
