Excellent stay in centre of Cusco

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.

Coco and Anna are very professional and ready to help you for everything you need . They are conversant in English as well and that helps a lot for non Spanish travellers . Though I wish I knew spanish !! . They even kept secure one of my personal item that I have forgotten in the room during checkout . Overall it’s a good and very safe place for the price !!!

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 really enjoyed staying at El Tuco. Coco (the owner) and his wife were very helpful and friendly, and speak good English (very useful if you speak little spanish like me). The water was piping hot and the bed was extremely comfortable. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Peru, highly recommended.

First of all I want to thank Coco and his family for the outstanding hospitality, their kindness and everything they did for me during my 14 days quarantine in Cusco. I really felt like home, very welcome and safe! It is really one of the best and cleanest hostels I've ever stayed at. I will definitely come back!!
