Close to the historic center and everything you’d want to visit, options to sign up for tours here itself, and staff is very accommodating! They’re always willing to give suggestions for what you can do, plus they have plenty of fun activities going on daily. Highly recommended!

The overall value for money lies in the ambiance, amenities, and overall environment. While there's a stringent visitor policy in place, I recognize it's for safety reasons. Overall, it's satisfactory.

Ok, but I expected better from their reputation
Good location and the staff were good too but I had a few issues with WiFi connectivity from my room (I think this is an isolated incident as they are set up very well for WiFi connectivity), the toilet seat was broken in my room, and the heating in the room wasn't really that helpful.

Stay Away
Incredibly disappointed with our 3 night stay here. After three weeks in Peru this has been our only bad experience. We didn't have one hot shower, often there was no water at all - could not even flush the toilet!! The dorms were grubby, the electricals extremely temperamental and everywhere was freezing cold... We chose to stay here due to the promise of a social environment, long story short I wouldn't call it a party hostel. We wouldn't even recommend the location and are currently far happier with our new digs here in San Blas!

This is a social hostel right near the city center. It is very walkable. It is very friendly for travelers who need to store bags or want to strike up a conversation with someone new. It is in a converted monastery, so the facilities could be updated. In particular fans in the bathrooms would be good as currently there is some mold growing in there. Service is friendly, but very slow. It is a large hostel and at times only one person is working, so you may have to wait half an hour to check out or ask a question. They have plenty of coca tea available and there are games in the courtyard. There is a nice coworking space and wifi. They did help me get a covid test right in the hostel. There is a guy in the lobby who can help book you tours and give advice on things to do.

Very friendly and helpful staff who go out of their way to help you. Unfortunately the showers on the lower level were unacceptable; the hot water delivery system was inadequate and did not regulate water temperature effectively. One minute it’s freezing cold, the next minute it’s scalding hot. I raised this as a major safety concern with staff but I don’t think they seemed to care too much. Maybe the managers should try it out? Also the toilets are unisex and they are very cramped. The showers and toilet block on the lower level is exposed - not the most comfortable when it gets cold in the evenings.

C'est une auberge à dortoirs, il faut s'attendre au bruit et aux gens qui allument la lumière au milieu de la nuit Principal avantage c'est la localisation (pile dans le centre de Cusco) et le prix (de l'ordre d'une dizaine d'euros par nuit).

Hello William,Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the hostel! It's totally normal to expect some noise and disturbance in a dormitory-style hostel, but it's great that you're focusing on the positive aspects of the place. The location right in the heart of Cusco sounds fantastic, and the affordable price is definitely a big plus. I hope you're finding the atmosphere at the hostel to be friendly and welcoming, and that you're meeting some interesting people during your stay. I hope we can see you in Pariwana very soon!

The staffs are very kind and helpfull. They took care of our luggage for 1 day and half while we went to Águas Calientes. But this was the only good point of this hostel. I know it's suposed to be a party hostel but the music is loud and at night they only played trance music. The bar at the hostel is not that nice, it's expensive and they close the kitchen hours before the time they told us it was supposed to close. We had a super expensive pringles as dinner.The room was very cold and the toilet pretty bad because the shower didn't have enough pressure, the drain was clogged, and there was a leaking on the toilet bowl. The hostel is well located but honestly I didn't think it worth it. Disapointed .

Ótimo para solteiros, Péssimo para quem busca paz
Super recomendado para jovens solteiros, que gostam de festas e agitação. Não recomendado para pessoas que buscam um local para descansar e tomar banho. - Descanso: o hostel promove a interação dos hospedes com música alta e bebidas das 09h00 até as 22h00, sem parar! Daí o nome Pariwana, de PartyWana! - Banho: o chuveiro possui água quente e fria. A água quente é extremamente quente, e a fria, extremamente fria. É muito difícil encontrar um equilíbrio através dos registros de água, e quando finalmente encontra um ponto de conforto, basta alguém em qualquer lugar do hostel dar descarga, para o fluxo de água fria cair consideravelmente e você ser escaldado pela água quente. Era comum escutar pessoas gritando e xingando durante o banho (momento em que eram escaldados).

quarto sem janela eCuidado com os valores cobrados
Pelo que vi todos os quartos a entrada é na area central/social, isso gera algum desconforto pelo barulho, porém o pior é que, pelo menos o quarto que fiquei, não tem janela, nem ventilador e nem ar condicionado, ou seja nenhuma ventilação. Tambem tive um problema ate agora sem solução, me cobraram valor indevido, sendo que no dia seguinte já mandei um e.mail reclamando e depois de muita demora me disseram que não poderiam fazer o credito no cartão de credito que usei para o pagamento pois já havia passado muito tempo.... acho um absurdo essa postura.
