Hostal Cusi Wasi - Cusco

It was unusual to have someone from the hotel pick you up at the airport and proceed to hire a taxi. I didn't know what was going on and felt uncomfortable specially when we took the back streets to get to the hotel. Upon my arrival, I had to have them assign me another roo bacause of the smell...sewer line stech not relieved by some burning incense […] next to the door. My next room had hair on the pillow and on the sheets, but I just kept it!!! I also felt uncomfortable when the night shift person smelled of having been drinking. That and not having a lot of guests, I just saw one couple, was eery. It was a lovely place, but in much need of LTC. Read more

cI rate Hostal Cusi Wasi, Cuzco, a 5 on a 10-point scale. Overall, the price paid does not meet the expectations. The first room offered was in the lowest level of the hostel and did not have windows. We opted for a second level room with a window and dirt covered two-square foot skylight. You had to descend a flight of stairs and go up another flight […] of stairs to reach the room. From our non-opening, plexi-glass covered window we could see directly into the neighbor’s house. You could not stick your head out to look down the street nor get fresh air. The bathroom was tiny and there was not a shower head, just a free flow of water like standing under a hose. The water wasn’t hot…but you could take a shower. Noise was a problem from both loud mufflers all night off the street and from conversations from the inner courtroom. Rooms have windows on the inside of the courtyard. The breakfast is minimal, just rolls with jelly, a couple of pieces of thinly sliced cheese and meat with tea or coffee. The walk from the hostel to the historic area is a bit far and dark. The hostal is not located in a pretty part of Cuzco. There was a small computer, 1970s technology and speed - similar to the 19-inch TV in the room...mounted eight feet high. On the positive, the employees are friendly and helpful. The hostal arranged a tour of the local ruins; however our tour guide left three individuals behind. The tour was in Spanish and English. The English was hard to understand. English is my first language and I understood the Spanish better. Read more
