Easily the most comfortable I have ever been in a hostel. The owner and his wife were very welcoming and helpful in deciding my plans for each day. The room looked just like the photos on the website. The bed was comfortable and made each day. The showers were hot and had good pressure with towels provided each day. The property owner allowed me to store my bags when I went on the Salkantay Trek free of charge. Adding a night was simple. I felt extremely safe in the hostel as there was a gate and the owner or his wife would let me into the property at all hours of the day. I truly can’t say how enjoyable and comfortable I was staying here.

I had an excellent stay. The couple running this hotel are lovely and ensure that guests have a pleasant stay. They cook breakfast every morning and will happily assist if you need a help with anything. The location is great as it's just few minutes walk from the centre of Cusco. The room is cleaned everyday and the shower has hot water and good pressure which is not the case in all hotels. Really recommend staying here.

We had a great stay here at El Tuco - one night before and two nights after our Machu Picchu trip. Rooms are clean. The gate to the street is always locked, which made us feel very safe. Owner Coco is really fun to talk to, and gave us solid suggestions on where to go. The earlier check-in time is definitely a plus, which helped with our morning flight arrival. You do need to check out earlier as well, but that shouldn’t be any problem since most take the train to Machu Picchu pretty early too. Overall, really recommend this place!
