Hostal Wanka

We arrived here, and our room had no TV, they said it was broken. We went out exploring, and when we came back, they offered to set a new TV up in our room, which we accepted. So the owner took the TV out of their own room, had to put the thing on the back so he could hang it on the wall. It all took him about 30 minutes. If we’d known it was such a hassle for him, we would’ve said it’s okay without. But we were really glad we got one, because they have around 10 English channels, so it was nice to relax after full days of exploring and backpacking. So really nice and super helpful staff!! The bed is comfortable, the shower is warm, and it’s very clean! Only about 10 minutes walk to the main square. The staff will help you with which busses to take, to the beach or to the archaeological sites.

Lovely hostel, small but clean room. Would be useful to have a fan. Staff brilliant, the guy ran through the city highlights when we first arrived. La Galeria Central is around the corner (right from the hostel and first left) and is really worth a mention. Lunch is a similar price to other places but the guy is a qualified chef so the food was amazing!

Lack of a fan as warm during the night (in October)

The owner was super friendly and helpful. It was a 5 or so minute walk to the Cruz Del Sur station. Close to historic centre with sights and restaurants. Bed and pillows were super comfortable. Rooms were really clean - cleaned everyday. Spacious shower. We were able to store our bags in a secure room after we checked out until we needed to catch our bus.

The road is quite busy and all the cars beep a lot - just make sure you have good ear plugs. The car beeping didn't keep us awake.

Great location. Friendly staff

It was all good.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room spotless. We had a double room and it was cleaned daily and was comfortable. Wifi signal was great too. I think Hostal Wanka all up was great value for money. A lot of the bus terminals were nearby too.

The hostal was maybe a 10 minute walk to the Plaza and on a busy highway. Although basically, you just crossed the highway and were in the historical district where there we plenty of restaurants close by. The traffic was a bit noisy but you get used to that in travelling in South America.
