Bear Packer- Cusco

Such a lovely place! The staff were super friendly and accommodating. It’s in a perfect location, just a short walk from the San Pedro Center. They even let me stay a bit later after checkout so I could rest before my flight—so kind and thoughtful. Highly recommend!

Great hostel with options of a room for oneself. Area is great and walkable. Staff friendly. All good!

An easy, no frills hostel that made the first part of our time in Cusco enjoyable. The hosts were very nice and while the room was basic, the private room with bathroom was really all we needed.

I travel to Cusco often. I’ve stayed at this place the last 3 times I visited Cusco. Great service, nice place, great value for what you get. Highly recommended.

It was awesome! Bruno at the front desk was amazing! He went out of his way to accommodate our needs while we were staying there especially with early mornings!

Mama Simona fue una excelente decision durante mi estadia en Cusco. És un lugar limpio, silencioso y con un personal increiblemente amable. Gracias Mamá Simona 🙂

It is quite unbelievable that you get such value these days, especially at a tourist hotspot. Hot showers, WiFi, free breakfast, comfortable beds, booking airport transfers etc. They even hold part of your luggage for you if you are traveling elsewhere for a short visit and don't want to lug everything! All for $10/night. If you want full privacy, this is not for you. Else this is a no brainer!

The shower is not stable, a few minutes of hot water then cold water. Location is close to supermarket and staffs are very friendly.

Stayed in 4 bed room. Such a comfortable and clean bed, powerpoints and light next to each bed, locker for each person. Rooms were cleaned each day and shared showers and toilets were nice and well kept. Breakfast was simple bread and jam. Took a while but very easy to put laundry in at reception - S./5 per kg good price.

The stay was great. They have reasonable and trustworthy airport transfers. Check in was easy. There is always someone at the reception. They even let you store your belongings if you decide to trek to Machu Picchu like I did. I would stay there again!

The place is essential but has everything needed. This is an ideal solution for people looking for a convenient, friendly place where to spend the night while being around for the rest of the day.

They are very helpful and nice, I will change the sofas in the lobby, other than that it is great for the price and security

Mama Simona Cusco runs a tight ship! I need to commend every single front desk staff member for their professionalism, caring, and skill in helping to make our stay was a great experience! When I got sick on my second day in Cusco the front desk helped call a taxi and sent me to an excellent local medical clinic that treated me for altitude sickness and a mild case of salmonella (watch what you eat at the San Pedro Mercado!) I felt better by the end of the day and was released to go eat guinea pig later that night! Another front desk person helped my retired aunt and uncle carry some luggage upstairs. We didn't get a chance to tip her but wanted to thank her here for going above and beyond the responsibilities of a front desk clerk! Although cleanliness could be improved in the rooms (I found some hairballs on the floor) and wifi service needs to be improved (limited to the common areas and sometimes did't work), none of this diminished our stay and i would recommend this place to anyone. Note that Mama Simona is not a party hostel and attracts an older crowd than your average hostel, which was perfect for us. The free coca tea was a nice amenity. Highly recommended!

this is the ideal hostel for groups or people traveling in Peru. It is centrally located clean safe and the staff is super helpful. A short walk to the San Pedro Market and the Plaza de Armas.

Great location, great staff and a very affordable place to crash before or after a visit to MaPi. Breakfast included a short walk to the train and bus to head up to the site. Great for backpackers, groups etc.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Good price

Me and my friend stayed in a private room here when we arrived a Cusco. The staff were helpful and organised airport transfer for us. It’s a nice, clean hostel but can get a bit cold. There was a heater in the main sitting room and the staff were lovely and kept giving us blankets. Breakfast was very simple but tasty and the coffee was really good. Good place to stay!

Very clean rooms and made for a comfortable stay. The bathrooms were clean, but shower was cold. Includes continental breakfast, but pay a small price for the hot menu. Nice staff, can use the printer too (I used it to print my plane ticket for 50c). Free storage locker use for after checkout, can also lock stuff up in your room during your stay. Nice walk from the market and the main squares.

Very comfortable and homey feeling. Food was good. Staff was very pleasant, nice and helpful. The only thing that was disappointing was no hot water for a shower.

This is nice and Comfy hostal to Stay in Cusco. Walking Distance from San Francisco Square and other key tourist place. Staffs are really helpfull and informative
