Had an awesome five day stay in cusco. Hostal quipu is around 10 mins walking from the plaza de armas and very quiet. Still, we always felt safe, even when walking home at 2am. Lida is a great a host and provides restaurant recommendations as well as an awesome breakfast with rolls, jam, eggs, orange juice and tea. Courtyard in... More

I stayed in hostel Quipu in December 2012. The location is great, just a few minutes from the city center. Also, the price is very accessible and the staff is very kind and helpful. They also helped us organize our tour to Macchu Picchu. Breakfast was made fresh once we woke up. It is hard to beat Quipu, they provide... More

We stayed here with 5 couples, one of which brought their son of 8. Everyone absolutely loved it here. The rooms are basic but more than enough for travelers who don't need too much comfort. There were some renovation works going on at the time and there was a bit of trouble with hot water at certain times, but I... More

The location is a bit of a walk to the plaza de armas - but not overwhelming. The hostal is pretty, clean, quiet and the beds were okay. The dealbreaker was the shower. It only had hot water for 90 sec. When we brought it to the attention of the staff, we were told to use less water. My husband... More

I stayed at Quipu Hostal the week of September 12, 2012. Mrs Lida and staff were so helpful and attentive with my client. I take groups of people to Peru and they had a great stay at Quipu. It takes a good 8 minutes walk to get to Plaza de Armas but we loved that because we got to see... More

This hostel was sooooo great! All because of the people who worked there. Lida the owner is very helpfull and gave us all the info we needed to explore the Sacred Valley independently and plan our trip to Machu Picchu. And Paola was a very funny girl. Also got some great tips about local restaurants and food in Cusco, where... More

This is a real nice place to stay at. The staff is ever so friendly, the rooms are clean and it has a nice breakfast and sitting area outside in a sort of courtyard. It is not expensive at all, especially for Cuzco, and the staff is always willing to help out if necessary. Also location wise this is a... More

We arrived at Hostal Quipu weary and tired around 6:00am, and were given a room for the evening (that we could stay in all of that day), as well as complimentary tea and toast. Just great service, great atmosphere, and all together one of the best places to stay in Cusco.

The hotel was very comfortable, and is a 10 minute walk from the centre square. The owner of the hotel, Lida, was extremely friendly and gave us ideas of things to see in Cusco and how to get there. The staff speak minimal English, but we had no problems communicating. No heat in the rooms but more than enough blankets... More
