The Point Hostels Reviews

The Point Hostels Cusco is one of a number of Point hostels in Peru, which are generally known as party hostels. Despite having a bar with great happy hour deals, The Point Hostels Cusco is less crazy than its counterparts, and a number of nearby party hostels draw more crowds. That being said, The Point Hostels Cusco is one of the best value hostels in Cusco.

The Location

The Point Hostels Cusco is perfectly located for sightseeing in the historic centre of Cusco. It is one street away from Plaza San Francisco and a five-minute walk from the main square/Plaza de Armas. There are numerous restaurants, shops, and travel agencies nearby, as well as a large market. The street feels safe and there are other hostels located nearby. This is one of the most touristy areas of town, where you will hear almost as much English as Spanish being spoken!

Rooms and Bathrooms

Dorms and private rooms are available. The dorms have bunk beds with clean sheets and warm blankets. Some rooms feel a bit dark, with little natural light. Large lockers are provided (bring your own padlock). Shared bathrooms are clean and modern. The showers are hot and have great water pressure, as well as hooks to hang your stuff whilst showering.

Common Spaces

The most used common spaces are the two bars -- one indoor and one outdoor. A good-value breakfast is served in the indoor bar each morning. At night, staff try to create a party atmosphere. However, The Point Hostels Cusco is less busy than its counterparts, and the bar can feel a little empty at times. On busy nights, the bar has all the atmosphere of a party hostel, with happy hour deals, rounds of free shots, spin the wheel, and beer pong.

The outdoor area contains a few benches and a bar area, and is a pleasant place to relax on a sunny day. There is also an indoor courtyard with some seating and a ping-pong table. There is a book exchange, an ATM, and lots of information about tours in reception.

Summary

The Point Hostels Cusco has all the makings of a party hostel, but there are several more popular hostels in Cusco which tend to draw more crowds. The Point Hostels Cusco beats these hostels on value for money -- the dorm is one of the cheapest in Cusco, plus there are good drinks deals and a cheap breakfast.
