About

Casa Tunki Hostel - Cusco

Casa Tunki Hostel sits on Calle Meloc, a short walk from Cusco's main plaza and ChocoMuseo. Opened after a full renovation, it blends hostel practicality with a boutique feel — think parquet floors, soundproofed rooms, and a courtyard with garden furniture.

The ground-floor restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and doubles as a venue for live music and karaoke nights. For a hostel, it also packs in extras: a business centre, meeting rooms, currency exchange, and laundry service.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Superlative staff — Guests repeatedly single out the team for going above and beyond — from making tea for a sick guest to offering helpful local advice.
  • Boutique-style renovation — The recent full renovation gives dorms, bathrooms, and common spaces a modern, well-kept feel that punches above typical hostel standards.
  • On-site restaurant and live music — The first-floor restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and hosts live shows and karaoke — a social hub without leaving the building.
  • Strong location — A five-minute walk to ChocoMuseo and a short stroll from the main plaza puts most of Cusco's sights within easy reach.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Narrow check-in window — Check-in is only from 12:00 to 13:00, which can be tight if your flight or bus arrives at another time.
  • Adults-only policy — Families with children won't be accommodated here; the hostel is strictly adults-only.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, you'll need to leave them at home or find another property.
  • Potential noise from entertainment — Live music and karaoke at the on-site restaurant could be a downside if you're after total quiet, though rooms are soundproofed.

“Stayed a week and loved it. The staff were so kind – they even made me tea when I was ill. Breakfast was beautifully presented and delicious, and I slept great in the pod with blackout blinds. Bathrooms were always clean, lots of hot water, and the live music at the restaurant was a highlight. Highly recommend.”
