An easy, no frills hostel that made the first part of our time in Cusco enjoyable. The hosts were very nice and while the room was basic, the private room with bathroom was really all we needed.

It is quite unbelievable that you get such value these days, especially at a tourist hotspot. Hot showers, WiFi, free breakfast, comfortable beds, booking airport transfers etc. They even hold part of your luggage for you if you are traveling elsewhere for a short visit and don't want to lug everything! All for $10/night. If you want full privacy, this is not for you. Else this is a no brainer!

Super Comfortable
Stayed in 4 bed room. Such a comfortable and clean bed, powerpoints and light next to each bed, locker for each person. Rooms were cleaned each day and shared showers and toilets were nice and well kept. Breakfast was simple bread and jam. Took a while but very easy to put laundry in at reception - S./5 per kg good price.

The stay was great. They have reasonable and trustworthy airport transfers. Check in was easy. There is always someone at the reception. They even let you store your belongings if you decide to trek to Machu Picchu like I did. I would stay there again!

Overall a great stay!
Mama Simona Cusco runs a tight ship! I need to commend every single front desk staff member for their professionalism, caring, and skill in helping to make our stay was a great experience! When I got sick on my second day in Cusco the front desk helped call a taxi and sent me to an excellent local medical clinic that treated me for altitude sickness and a mild case of salmonella (watch what you eat at the San Pedro Mercado!) I felt better by the end of the day and was released to go eat guinea pig later that night! Another front desk person helped my retired aunt and uncle carry some luggage upstairs. We didn't get a chance to tip her but wanted to thank her here for going above and beyond the responsibilities of a front desk clerk! Although cleanliness could be improved in the rooms (I found some hairballs on the floor) and wifi service needs to be improved (limited to the common areas and sometimes did't work), none of this diminished our stay and i would recommend this place to anyone. Note that Mama Simona is not a party hostel and attracts an older crowd than your average hostel, which was perfect for us. The free coca tea was a nice amenity. Highly recommended!

Nice hostel in Cusco
Me and my friend stayed in a private room here when we arrived a Cusco. The staff were helpful and organised airport transfer for us. It’s a nice, clean hostel but can get a bit cold. There was a heater in the main sitting room and the staff were lovely and kept giving us blankets. Breakfast was very simple but tasty and the coffee was really good. Good place to stay!

Very clean rooms and made for a comfortable stay. The bathrooms were clean, but shower was cold. Includes continental breakfast, but pay a small price for the hot menu. Nice staff, can use the printer too (I used it to print my plane ticket for 50c). Free storage locker use for after checkout, can also lock stuff up in your room during your stay. Nice walk from the market and the main squares.
