About

Saqray Hostel - Cusco

Saqray Hostel sits on a quieter street above Cusco's historic center, a short walk from the Plaza de Armas and the San Cristobal church. It's close enough to reach the main sights on foot, yet tucked away for a calmer night's sleep — though some rooms face the street and can pick up noise.

The hostel offers a mix of shared dorm beds and private family suites, some with views over the city. A complimentary breakfast is served in a room with a wide outlook, and guests consistently mention the coffee. On-site you'll find a restaurant, a lounge with board games, luggage storage, and a locker room. Staff are frequently praised for going out of their way — storing bags, arranging tours, and helping with logistics like PCR tests.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Breakfast with a view — Served from a room that overlooks the city, with coffee, fruit, yogurt, bread, and sometimes smoothies — guests mention it often.
  • Helpful, empathetic staff — From storing bags around trekking schedules to helping with PCR tests and offering emotional support during a family crisis, the team is consistently praised.
  • Quiet yet central location — Tucked away on a hill above the main square, close enough to walk everywhere but removed from the busiest streets.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Street noise in some rooms — Rooms facing the street can be loud at night, and one guest suggests bringing earplugs.
  • Uphill walk from the center — The hostel is on a hill, so getting back from the main square means a short but steady climb — a consideration at Cusco's altitude.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.

“Great value for money — affordable without skimping on quality. The rooms were well-kept, and the ground-floor unit with a private bath had a stunning view over Cusco. The hilltop location is quieter but still close to the main sights.”
