Mama Simona Hostel in Cusco, Peru

The hostel is named after the sacred peak Mama Simona - the only female mountain deity among twelve others surrounding Cusco. Mama Simona Hostel is like a good conversation over a cup of coca tea rather than a wild party; a comfortable and welcoming refuge away from the standard \'just-another-hostel\' kind of place; simple wooden furniture and lots of room rather than cramped kitschy interiors. Staying with Mama Simona is like being invited into the warmth of a Peruvian home.

Mama Simona does not provide locks for the lockers, so please bring your own. You can also buy one at reception.

Beware! Many taxi drivers work for other hostels and would tell you anything just to drive you to the place they get a commission from. Be firm and confident: Mama Simona is easily accessible by car and is located in a safe neighborhood.

Please also note that we do not provide heaters, but rent them out. The cost of heater per night is S/10 ($3.8). Ask for one at the reception.
