Perfect location in Cusco. The restaurant on site was very good however service was rather slow. Rooms were clean and as well designed as dormitories go. The only thing I would say is that depending on what room you are in, the walk to the washroom may be rather long. The place had a hippy vibe with the party in mind but managed to maintain a tame and comfortable environment.

Excellently situated two blocks off Plaza del Armas — super-helpful staff — pretty building — staff very welcoming but not at all intrusive — good amenities such as laundry,, continental breakfast, inexpensive but fine meals, including much-appreciated vegetarian/vegan options. Not sure how they do all this for so little money, but it’s great!

Cozy
I was really sick with a sinus infection when I got to Cusco. The hostel was a perfect place to recuperate. The beds were comfy, the kitchen open late, and the main area had hot water and a fireplace at night.

The staff was very rude and hostel had little activities. Not my top hostel to stay at in Cusco especially hearing there are more lively and welcoming ones elsewhere.

Beyond loud, smelly, unhelpful staff
Loud yelling well into the night, which was ironic considering all of the “quiet” signs. People smoking marajuana right outside the room.

Great stay
Fun place, great free welcome drink, nice people! Room was a bit cold and had a lot of beds so could be noisy, but wasn’t for me. Also, there isn’t a shared kitchen at this hostel. They make dishes that you can pay for. They also let me use a plate for my own fruit though!

Awesome outdoor hostel
I liked the hostel A LOT. Very nice outdoors area, cool atmosphere. The only thing I couldn't feel was a problem sometimes was because that's everything was so open it couldn't be quite coldness in the room so at nights sometimes. That's the only thing. But I would definitely come back anyway.

Not as advertised
We booked ecopackers following good reviews by travel guides and online. Based on the photos from their website, we booked a room with double bed and private bathroom. Upon arrival at the hostel, we went to our room which was on the second floor. Contrary to pictures shown, the room we ended up with was not in any way similar to that. There was a very pungent mold smell, probably coming from the huge water stain on the ceiling. The floor was old grey carpet that was stained all over. The only window in the bedroom was yellow stained glass, could not be opened and impossible to see throught. The room was poorly lit. The room was also next to some sort of terrace where someone was doing reno work until late at night. The room is next to the hostel's resto-bar which is loud until very late at night. Might be good for a single backpacker looking for a party atmosphere and a cheap bed. But definitely not as advertised for the double private room. When we approched management to tell them we were fleeing this dump, they did nothing to try to make it right, they just did not care.

A fun place to meet people
ECO Packer has some magic atomersphere for meeting great travellers! I heard it from some other travellers that had stayed in other hostels and moved to ECO Packers for meeting new friends. Also, the stuff at the front desk are very friendly and cheerful. It adds positive influence to the atimersphere for travellers have fun and connect! It definitely make your stay a wonderful experience!
