Very friendly and helpful staff. Great view of the valley and Cusco from the balcony. San Blas neighborhood is a beautiful location if you don’t mind climbing steps. Also very clean.

We had a great time here and wished we could have stayed longer. The best thing about this hostel is the shared terrace with amazing views of the city all day, especially dawn and sunset. We arrived on the evening of New Years Eve and paid a little extra for a room with a view on the 2nd floor, rather than no views on the 1st floor and we were so glad we did. The fireworks were amazing of course! Plus we didn't have to deal with the normal nightmares of NYE with everything we needed right there, including a guitarist and some other travellers having fun. Henry, James and all the staff are really friendly, and we loved our double bed room with en-suite and a wide window onto the view of Cusco to wake up to. I think good hostels fall into two groups, the quirky, relaxed ones that make you think of a classic backpacker trip, and the new, quite sterile, types. Samay Wasay is the quirky kind. It's clean, the beds are comfortable and the water is hot, and at breakfast large flasks of hot water are on the tables so you can make Coca tea. We found it to be great value. I saw some other people complaining about having to walk up stairs to get to the hostel - well it's only about 10 mins from Plaza del Armas, uphill, and we did it with a backpack each and it was fine. I think if you want a 5-star hotel, then go and book that for yourself. If I came back to Cusco, I'd definitely stay here again, and have recommended it to several people we've spoken to.

Preety but wouldn't stay again!
Our stay at samay wasi was beautiful but also painful. The view is from the terrace and room is beautiful and The complimentary breakfast is nice but the stairs to get up to the hostel is painful and will destroy you, Especially when you're suffering from altitude sickness!! You have to climb down the mountain whenever you want to get lunch/dinner, so making your way back to the hostal is exhausting. Regardless of the climb, I think our least favourite part was how cold the room was. The heating is only turned on during certain hours of the day, so for majority of the day the room is VERY COLD. We had some early morning days (leaving around 5am), so when we came back to the room (around 3pm) all we wanted to do was relax and unwind however this was very difficult to do in a cold room. I was also very sick on our 2nd day (was vomiting and dizzy) so my husband requested for the heating to be turned on so I can relax but they refused - this was not fun! So even though the view is nice I wouldnt stay here again. Better to stay at a hostal near the main square as its beautiful!
