Aymarak Hostel Reviews

Aymarak Hostel is a very basic hostel and good value for money if you are on a budget. The owner is a lovely woman and super helpful, the place is well cleaned and it is comfortable for a day or so. The hostel owners can also help you organise tours out to the islands and give you advice on things to do in the area.

The Location

Aymarak Hostel is located a five-minute walk down the hill to the town square and about twenty minutes' walk to the dock. As it sits up on the hill, there are stunning views of the lake and the city from the hostel. Be warned, however, for those that struggle with altitude that getting back up the hill can be a challenge and you may want to jump in a taxi.

Upon arrival to the hostel, it is worth noting that they do not have a sign of the door notifying you that you have arrived. It took ten minutes to decipher that it was the right address and press the button. There is a "one hundred thirty-five" over the door and a picture of it in the review to help.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The rooms here are large and spacious and the dorm room is really comfortable. There is a table and chair for chilling out and organising things. The beds are comfortable, but the pillows can be a bit thin and lumpy. There are also only four power outlets for everyone staying in the room, so sometimes charging things can be a challenge.

There is one bathroom here and it is large and clean. One of the fabulous perks of this hostel in comparison to many other Puno hostels is that it has a fabulous hot water cylinder for showers. As there is only one bathroom for everyone, it has the potential to get a little busy, but we did not experience this during the stay.

Common Spaces

The only real common space here is the kitchen. It is well equipped and you can cook a decent meal here and there is a refrigerator for cold products. There are two tables in here and people will sit and chat. Here in the mornings, this is where breakfast of egg, bread, banana, and tea or coffee are served. It is basic but good.

Summary

It is a no-frills but great stay and fully recommended for those on a budget.
