It's the best!
The location is especially great.
You have to climb a long flight of stairs, but the view from the top is amazing.
Breakfast is included. It was a great time looking out over Cusco city while eating breakfast.
It's also very easy to access the center of Cusco.
The staff are friendly and the service is great!
Another plus is that there are cute cats.

A place with very good atmosphere, most helpful staff, quiet and situated near Cusco center. Breakfast at the terrace looking over the city and the mountains was something. James was very helpful with investigating what we could explore in the Cusco area.

I stayed 10 days in SWYH and enjoyed my stay. I had booked a private room and I was surprised how good it was (Room Nr.9 on the upper floor), From here I had a great panoramic view of Cusco even while lying on my bed :-). But of course the view from the hostel is over all excellent. The staff is very attentive and customer driven - from the reception Desk to the kitchen. Thanks to all. Breakfast is ok. I didn´t use the kitchen utilities. I didn't use the kitchen utensils, but I noticed that people prepared some really nice dishes. The private rooms on the 2nd floor are also preferable because of the view and they are more quiet.

My biggest recommendations for Samay hostel. I stayed there for four nights and everything was great. The host and staff were always helpful, the rooms were nice, clean and they had the most amazing view of Cusco from the terrace. It’s a small, cozy hostel with everything you need.

The Samay Wasi was the best part of Cusco for us. We were scheduled to stay in other hostels as well, but dropped all of them in favor of staying at the Samay Wasi. We were there for seven nights. The view for one thing is unmatched in Cusco. The breakfasts are excellent. Price rooms are quiet and have nice showers with hot water. Bed mattresses are actually comfortable. Wifi is better than most hostels. The people working there are very friendly and helpful. The best of the hosts is James. He spent a lot of time in the US and speaks perfect English and Spanish. If your lucky, he will be the one picking you up at the airport. He is the man to talk to when it comes to tours and local things to do. He will take care of everything as far as that is concerned. Very calm, patient, and attentive. He will keep you on schedule through What’s App. My brother and his wife will be traveling to Cusco later this year and they will also stay at the Samay Wasi and rely on James as we did. HIGHLY recommend.

Samay Wasi Hostel's stay was really good. The location seems to be a bit far from the city center but the hostel has great views and cozy rooms. The team was so easy to communicate even though they couldn't speak much English. The breakfast provided by the hostel was good and filling. One of the best hostels I have stayed so far. They have many communal places like a balcony, a sit-out terrace and a small library. They also have a friendly cat on their welcoming committee.

This hostel is very cozy and accommodating with wonderful view of the city. This hostel is very quiet as well with clean common areas that have guitars and games. It is so cool to eat breakfast and have an amazing view of the city. Also the views from the common terrace at night are also great.
