Selina Saphi Cusco

Nice and big hostel.. many rooms and friendly hostes. Be careful with the altitude difference, because 3400 meters above sea level makes most people suffer from altitude sickness.

So Good

Best hostel in Cusco!! Excellent for solo travelers, extremely comfortable and clean rooms, quiet (but not too quiet), and helpful staff. When I got sick, they helped me to find a doctor to get the care I needed. I cannot thank Selina Saphi Cusco enough for a wonderful stay.

This is a review of the co-working space only, not the hotel. It is very cold. According to my phone it was 6 degrees celsius or 43 degrees Fahrenheit which isn’t that cold on first glance but when you are sitting in it for 8 hours a day it’s not nice at all. I asked a member of staff about it and was told there was supposed to be a heater in the room but I informed her that there was not. She said she would have one brought to the office but 4 hours later and still no heat. I tried again the next day and asked a different member of staff who said the same thing. A few hours later still no heat. I spotted a heater inside one of the conference rooms/offices but the door was locked. I went back to reception and asked about the heater in the conference room. I was told someone would come up to the co-working space soon to let us use it. A few hours later and still no heat. I sat working in my jacket, hat, and gloves for as long as I could handle. I even boiled water with the kettle and poured it into a mug so I could hold it to warm my fingers. After three and a half days of sitting in the cold, I gave up. I’m not paying for the privilege of being freezing. It’s too bad because the space itself is nice with good natural light and fast internet. I just wish it was a comfortable place to work. I wouldn’t even mind paying a little extra for heat.

Such a great hostel! Really good vibes, perfect chilling spots and very comfy beds. I was with a group of friends but it would be good for solo travellers too as we met loads of people. Very clean and the staff are super friendly and helpful. They also have free yoga classes on Thursday and Friday mornings if you love yoga!! Couldn’t recommend more.

Really friendly hostel - clean and good atmosphere! Arrived late at night and reception were very helpful. Good location, great for exploring the city. Definitely recommend for solo travellers or groups of friends. Rooms spacious and showers warm

Very relaxed clean and great hostel. Lots of chill spaces and places to relax and a very nice neighborhood. The staff were helpful and the bathrooms were excellent.

Great hostel with chill spots and a big kitchen. A little walk to town (10 mins) which passes by brilliant restaurants and bars. Good mix of solo and group travellers, both nomad workers and backpackers… easy to meet people in the chill areas and kitchen. Tours on offer are easy to book onto as well.
