The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
Lucky Your House hostal, also known as Cozy Hostel, is located on the busy street of Titicaca. Due to its proximity to the large street, the traffic can be really noticeable. Otherwise, it's a quiet hostal that doesn't seem to see a lot of guests.
The Location
The touristic section of Puno is fairly small and can be entirely explored on foot. Lucky Your House is located several blocks from the main tourist street of Lima, where many restaurants, banks, and souvenir shops are situated, but it is still closely surrounded by shops and restaurants. It is also only three hundred metres away from the main Plaza de Armas.
From the main bus terminal, it is about one-and-a-half kilometers away and about a kilometer away from the pier from where most island tours depart. Both of these destinations are also very easily accessible by local taxis and tuk tuks.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The hostal is made up of privates, doubles, and shared rooms. There are no bunk beds here, only twin beds in the shared rooms. The rooms are good-sized, even when they are fully occupied, but the space could be cleaner. All the furniture and materials just feel old and over-used. Each room does have its own en suite bathroom of shower, toilet, and sink.
In the shared rooms, there are enough power plugs for everyone to use. However, there is only one light in the room, which makes it slightly difficult when guests are arriving and leaving at different times in the morning and at nights.
Common Spaces
On the main floor beside the front desk is a living room and dining room area. There are couches on which guests can relax while watching movies and TV. The dining room consists of several tables and these are predominantly occupied during the mornings with the complimentary breakfast.
There isn't much of a social atmosphere here though, and guests tend to stick to themselves. There is the feeling that this is a hostal just to sleep and recharge before leaving on a tour or heading to another destination.
Summary
This is a quiet hostal. It's located slightly further away from the main touristic area, but is still very close by. The hostal could use a good clean, as many things feel old and over-used.
