My partner and I spent 4 nights at Hostal Girasoles in Cusco and enjoyed every second. The beds were very comfortable and the water was HOT! (it was cold in Cusco when we were there this past week. I have to give the owner credit for her advance trip help as well. I had a horrible time booking train/entrance tickets... More

This place should not have hostal in the title as it is more of a B & B than a hostal. I was pleasantly surprised with what i got for my money.Overall this place was good. The staff there was friendly and accomodating. the other guests (some long term medical students) were very nice as well. However there was a... More

The only drawback here was that the water in my room was good pressure and hot...but the hot valve turned on its own making the temp hard to adjust. Really petty! The rooftop terrace is a great spot to take in the city or enjoy a morning yoga workout.

We had a matrimonial room with en-suite bathroom. It's a very nice hostel - clean, nice English speaking staff, decent breakfast, cool roof patio with good views of the city, and is located on a quiet street with minimal traffic. However, there is a strange opening above the room doors that lets a lot of noise in when people are... More

We, a family of two adults and three children, stayed in two rooms at the Hostal Girasoles for 6 or 7 nights in early December 2011. The entire place is kept spotless, you could eat your breakfast off the floors. We liked the location near the center of the city but at the end of a cul de sac that... More

I stayed for five week from june untill july 2011. from the moment Laura met me at the airport I felt very comfortable at home. During my whole time there if I had a problem, it would be fixed immediately. The rooms and en suite are cleaned every day, and the whole place was spotless. The staff were happy to... More

I spent 8 weeks in Hostal Girasoles while gaining work experience at a hospital in Cusco. The hostel is located on a quiet street (without traffic) around 5 minutes walk from the Plaza de Armas. It was great being so close to the centre of the city, yet without the 24/7 noise of taxis buzzing up and down the street.... More

I had high hopes for Hostal Girasoles based on the reviews; however, I was quire disappointed in the quality of my week long stay. The Pros: The hostal is relatively clean. The staff is friendly, unless there is a problem. Cons: Lots of dog feces and even a dead animal in the alley way where the hostal is located. Leftovers... More

As stated by others it's a little ways from City Center (about 2 blocks), however the walk is very interesting and easy. They have a little kitchen that you can use and they prepare a small breakfast for you in the morning. The staff is very helpful with other travels in the area. I was on my way to Machu... More
