Bamba House Cusco

alles super!

frühstück eher spartanisch

une seule salle de bains/toilettes pour 5 ou 6 chambres...donc de l'attente

The bed was comfortable and the TV has Netflix. The whole place looks like a Bridgerton or Downton Abbey postcard, until you look closely that is ...

First, when I checked in they told me that there was a problem with my reservation and I would have to change rooms the following morning (check out at 10am and back in at 1pm) even though the reservation was made for two nights. They said due to the error they would upgrade me to a room with a bathroom the second night. The room was a let down, every corner was absolutely filthy, I don't think they've swept (let alone mopped) in months (see attached pics). The towel was fraying and super thin. You get exactly one towel, no hand towel to go with it. Also, the windows from my room opened onto the smoking balcony. That's ok, except the blinds were broken and one of the windows couldn't be closed all the way, so when people smoke, it just comes in the room. And you feel like you're in a fishbowl since you can't totally close the blinds either. Other guests were rude bathroom hogs at 4am. I've stayed in lots of places with a shared bathroom and have never had an issue. The problem here is they have one toilet for three rooms, each with two double beds. The toilet and shower are connected so if someone decides to, they can spend a long time in there. I complained at 4am and asked to find another bathroom (that didn't even have toilet paper in it). I asked again to confirm I was moving rooms and the guy at the front desk said, yes. Later that morning, after I'd packed up all my stuff to move rooms they told me I didn't have to anymore. I said, well you told me I am and I want to now. And they said, well you didn't pay for it. So, I told them to cancel my booking for the next night and found a MUCH nicer place for literally $3 more. Keep looking, there are much better places in Cusco. Also, breakfast is pitiful- cold bread, bananas and whole avocados with no knives. No coffee! Only tea. Also, you have to do your own dishes which I expect at a hostel but not a hotel.

Bamba House Cusco has a very charming retro style with antique furniture, a pleasant dining room, and a nice terrace. The shower is good and there is reliable hot water. The reception staff are friendly and helpful, and the beds and pillows are comfortable.

Rooms facing the street can be quite noisy, so it’s worth requesting a quieter room when booking. The property is currently being expanded, but it seems that more attention should be given to maintenance. The bathroom ceiling has some mold, and the entrance door squeaks. It’s surprising that such a simple fix, like a bit of WD-40 hasn’t been done. The bathroom is also missing a cup for toothbrushes, and the soap dispenser does not work.

Inmejorable habitacion

Buena ubicación, precio, decoración, comodidad

The hostel is very nice, very good value for money

The only problem is the noise from the street next
