"Excellent Hostel" Home Sweet Home-Mirador Tip by girllrig

This hostel has 3 locations- I stayed in their Cusco one. It is a bit of a climb up the hill past San Blas, but it has an amazing view over the city. I had a triple room all to myself. There is no heat in the hostel, which is a bit of a drawback, but they do provide thick blankets. The staff is very friendly and are there all the time to answer any questions. The hostel has cable tv and DVDs, free internet (and wi-fi), hot showers (shared baths), and a decent breakfast. San Blas is an artsy area with lots of great cafes, galleries, bars, shops, and museums. I recommend the Muse Cafe nearby.
