If you want to party, then stay at this hostel. I won't go into the details, but this place is off the hook. The Australian guy who owns the place is awesome. I thought he was another guest at first! There's a great bar and social area where they had a themed party every night, frat-style. You can order food... More

This is a great hostel to stay in if you like partying. The staff were friendly, everyone was super-relaxed, and it was all about having fun. There are different activities to do every night, mostly involving beer. Pros - great parties, close to the centre, friendly staff, strong cocktails Cons - You won't sleep.

Everyday is like weekend at the bar and they make their own activities to make sure that you will never be bored.. The food... More

I really liked this hostel, it was well located and the staff was very friendly, they helped me a lot to book a tour to the Machu Picchu. The breakfast wasn't good but it was ok for the price, I would stay there again.

stayed here one night before moving, i had hardly any sleep from other people coming in and out of the dorm all night with little regard for people sleeping. The music from the bar was very loud until the early hours which i can deal with but after not much sleep it started up again at 8am in the morning... More

The point is very average in my opinion! The hostel itself looks ok, the showers and toilets during our stay looked new but were not the cleanest. The bar is very noisy at night as it wast too far from our room so sleeping wasn't great but I do expect that to some degree when in hostels so I'm not... More

Yes the showers are clean but there is about 3 for the whole hostel, ridiculous! It's extremely cold as the indoors are doesn't really have... More

I traveled to this hostel with 4 other college aged females and stayed for 3 nights as we explored cusco and machu pichu. I can't really think of a word other than "horrible" to describe our experience. When we arrived, we found that the hostel had lost our reservation. They told us that because we had made it a month... More

Pros: The beds are comfortable. The showers are clean and the water is hot. The price is right. Breakfast is minimal but acceptable (unless you are gluten-free, as my travel companion was, in which case there is no breakfast). Cons: The staff was rather unfriendly and unwelcoming when we checked in. We felt as though everyone in the building knew... More

In line with what a few others have said on here, this hostel is great if you want to drink and party until 5am and sleep it off during the day. Not so great if you want a place to relax or are a couple! The accommodation itself is decent enough. Clean rooms, clean enough shower rooms (as hostels in... More

You'll be pleased to hear that The Point Hostel Cusco is only two blocks from the pubs, clubs, restaurants and shopping of the city's centre - and is run by backpackers for backpackers.
