Casa Tunki

I have been backpacking for nearly 20 years and Casa Tunki has to be one of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in! It feels much more like a boutique hotel than a hostel. Individual capsule beds which were large and extremely comfortable with a down comforter and plenty of space to store your things. The common areas are beautiful, whether for relaxing and reading or having a coffee. There are also several balconies which look out to the street. The included breakfast is wonderful and beautifully plated and the French press coffee is perfect. They even pack you a snack bag if you're leaving early for a tour. I couldn't recommend this hostel highly enough, it was perfect for my week in Cusco!

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at We had a wonderful time staying at Casa Tunki! We stayed in a private room and utilized the unisex shared bathroom. Our beds and linens were comfortable and there was enough space in our room to lay out our suitcases as we needed to repack. There was also housekeeping services who made the private room when we went out to explore (I didn’t know there was housekeeping service so this was a nice surprise). The courtyard patio is beautiful. Breakfast is included and I highly recommend you attend! My favorite was the poached egg on toast. The coffee and pineapple juice was also wonderful. I was told that the chef sources organic ingredients from the Sacred Valley :) The only critique I have is that the wifi was a little weak in our room; the connection was stronger on the balcony. Not a big deal. Location wise, they’re on top of a hill and is a close walking distance to the central square. There are some cute speciality shops and cafes nearby the hostel as well. The staff was absolutely incredible. From check in, during our stay, to check out, we felt very cared for. They helped us carry our 20 kilo (43 lbs) suitcases up the stairs when we checked in as well as when we checked out. They were excellent communicators, helpful, friendly, and so kind. Overall, I throughly enjoyed my stay at Casa Tunki and would book here again the next time I come to Cusco!
