Kurumi Hostel

Probably the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. The room was beyond cold. The floor was made of stone which made it colder. I used my sleeping bag liner to add some warmth. Also slept in my long underwear, coat, and hat! Each room opened to the outdoors which means the shared bath was outside. Someone said they were changing to a private bath but decided against it when the room smelt like sewage. There was a sign during breakfast about eggs as well as ham and cheese. I thought that was included. It was not. After a disagreement, the lady in charge called *********** and cancelled my reservation without my approval. I decided it was worth me losing a small amount of money and move hotels for my sanity.

Just 5 min upwards from Plaza de Armas there is this nice, simple and very familar hostel in Cuszo. Indeed the nights can be very cold at 3000m so remember before you book a room with shared bathroom, you need to go outside at night if you need to go to the toilette. We got some extra blankets immediately as we asked for them at our arrival. Our 2-bed-room was nice and clean, the roomservice cleaned up every day. The small. garden with a pavilion and hammock was the best place to take little brake. The hostel is all in all in a very quiet location. No party-people or traffic around. The street is very small and steep, so if you order a tour it is possible, that the bus can not pick you up in front of the hotel, but either at the plaza 2min above the hostel or at the Paza de Armas. Place notice, the following is quiet typical for Perú, so it's definitely not a negative recommendation, just for some international travellers to notice: Breakfast is simple compared to some other nations. There was coffee, tea, typical peruvian buns, strawberry jam and butter and omelette, if you ask for it. That's it. It is possible that when you want to shower, there is no warm water. That's not that unusual, wait for later or the next morning, when the water tank is refilled again.
