페루 호스텔 중 최고!

정말 만족했습니다. 호스트의 친절함에 감동했어요. 비록 아르마스 광장과 거리는 멀지만, 정말로 남미의 호스텔이라는 것을 느껴보고 싶다면 이곳을 머무르는 것을 추천합니다. 저는 호스트와 교류를 하며, 페루의 친구가 생긴 것 같았어요.

Close to Plaza de Armas

This is a great value place to stay. The host was excellent and spoke good English. You could walk to Plaza de Armas in minutes and Sacsayhuaman was only about a half hour out. I was able to get picked up from the hotel for all the guided tours as well. They do only take cash, but it can be made in USD or Sols so that’s a convenience if you forget to go by a money exchange before checking in. If you want to save money on hotel expenses, give this one a look that is close to most everything in the city!

Hotel is clean, well functional and well located. Hot water anytime for good shower. Not far from central square but quiet at nighttime for good sleep. Owner Martin speaks good English. He was extremely attentive and super helpful to guest. He arranged taxi and several tours for us also helped with many other things that saved us money and time. Perfect place to stay in Cusco!

オーナーの気遣いに感激！コスパ最高です。I will come back !

ロケーションは最高、プラザデアルマスまで徒歩15分、立地が良いのにもかかわらず静か。部屋は広く、大きな窓があり、陽当たりが良かった。ベッドは大きく寝心地最高だった。部屋にはヒーターが置かれていて、寒い夜も暖かく過ごせた。シャワーもお湯がたっぷり出た。 夜行バスで朝8時にチェックインしたが、部屋が用意されていて嬉しかった。しかもオーナーは無料で朝食を提供してくれた。 チェックアウト時に、オーナーは朝5時40分にタクシーを頼んでくれ、わざわざ自宅からゲストハウスまで見送りに来てくれた。 このゲストハウスは常に誰かがいてくれる。朝早くはオーナー、夜おそくまではオーナーの妹さん、日中はスタッフの女性がいて対応してくれる。こんなに一所懸命にゲストハウスの経営に当たるオーナーは初めて。その姿に感動した。 クスコに来たら必ずここに泊まりたい。至れり尽くせり、細やかな気遣いのあるゲストハウスだった。日本人にお勧めします。 I arrived at 8 AM spending some time at the bus terminal after a night bus. The owner welcomed me and he allowed me to check in early without any charge. He even offered me free breakfast. The owner Martin and his sister are working very hard for the guest all day and you always find somebody in the guest house. In this guest house everything was perfect. A quiet location close to Plaza de Armas and bus terminal. When I was checking out for Machupicchu, the owner arranged a taxi for me at 5:40 AM. And the owner came to see me in that early morning from his house and gave me a lunchbox. I recommend this place as a home for travelers in South America.

Martin (in the morning) and Rosa (in the evening) were very helpful and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble, from early breakfast to booking tours and taxis. I stayed here twice and each room was spacious and comfortable. It is a 15 min walk from the main square and Av El Sol has atms, interbank (for Machu Picchu bus ticket) and the main office to purchase tourist tickets for Sacred Valley sights

部屋はスーツケースを2つ広げても邪魔にならずに歩けるくらい十分に広く、清潔で風呂は暖かいお湯が普通にでました。また掃除も毎日綺麗にしてくれますし、タオルも替えてくれます。Wi-FiもNetflixが普通に観れるほどスイスイ。そして何よりオーナーがとても親切で、レインボーマウンテンやその他遺跡などクスコ滞在中に参加したいツアーをやっている会社選びに迷っていたところ、とてもコスパの良いツアー会社を紹介してもらい、予約までしてもらえました。(ツアーが全部ホテルピックアップなのも良かった。)また、早朝から参加のツアーの際は朝食の時間が間に合わないのですが、前日にその分の食べ物もいただけましたし、朝から一緒にツアー会社の車がくるのを待ってくれて見送りまでしてくれます。マチュピチュ観光についても鉄道のキャンペーン情報を教えてくれたり、鉄道会社の直営店舗の場所も分かりやすく丁寧に教えてくれました。日程を間違えており、クスコ滞在最終日分の宿をとっていないことに当日気がついたのですが、その旨を伝えたところ、満室ということで近くの宿を紹介してもらえることに。案内も一緒に行ってくれて、空室確認もしてもらえたので本当に助かりました。 設備環境もさることながらオーナーのホスピタリティが素晴らしい宿で大変満足。南米を1カ月ほど旅行し同じくらいかここよりも少し高い宿にとまりましたが、その中でもっとも高評価の宿です。

Great place to stay

This guest house turned out to be better than expected. We originally chose the hotel / guest house because of its proximity to the trekking company we used to hike the Inca Trail. As it turns out, the location is great for seeing most of Cusco Central. We were able to walk everywhere. Our hosts were absolutely wonderful. We at first only booked 3 nights before our trek but before we left we asked Martin if a room would be available after we finished the trek and he said there was. We stayed another night then went on a 5 day Jungle tour. Before leaving, we again asked if there would be availability upon our return and, he said there would be so we stay another 3 nights. Each time we left and came back was like coming home. Martin is very accommodating, packed a lunch each day we went on excursions. He gave recommendations and really took care of us. The place is very clean, comfortable, easy to get to. Close to city center wifi worked just fine for the minimal time we used it. Nice hot showers. 4 days on the Inca Trail, extra day in Aguas Caliente, 5 days in the jungle. We had to do laundry. Our hosts took care of it for a small fee. We would definitely return if possible. Thank you Martin!
