Impressions

Nestled in the heart of the charming town of Ollantaytambo, Rumi Sonqo Hostel is a hidden gem that will captivate any traveler exploring Peru with friends. As I stepped foot into the hostel, I was immediately struck by its inviting and warm atmosphere. The rustic architecture, adorned with vibrant flowers and traditional Andean textiles, created a cozy ambiance that instantly made me feel at home.

The exceptional hospitality of the staff at Rumi Sonqo Hostel was one of the major highlights for me. They welcomed us with genuine smiles and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction throughout our stay. From providing helpful tips on nearby attractions to arranging transportation to Machu Picchu, their attention to detail and personalized service truly impressed us.

The hostel offers a range of comfortable and well-appointed rooms, perfect for a group of friends traveling together. Whether we opted for a private en-suite room or a shared dormitory, we found the accommodations to be clean, cozy, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The common areas, such as the communal kitchen and the cozy lounge, provided the perfect spaces for us to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the wonders of Ollantaytambo.

What set Rumi Sonqo Hostel apart from other accommodations was its breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. We were treated to stunning vistas of the majestic peaks, transforming our stay into an enchanting experience. In the mornings, we would gather on the rooftop terrace, sipping our cups of local Peruvian coffee, as we marveled at the sunrise over the Andes.

The hostel's convenient location also proved to be incredibly advantageous for us and our group of friends. Situated just a short walk away from the town's main square and the train station, we were perfectly positioned to explore the ancient ruins of Ollantaytambo and embark on our journey to Machu Picchu.

In conclusion, Rumi Sonqo Hostel offers much more than just a place to rest one's head. With its warm ambiance, exceptional service, comfortable rooms, and breathtaking views, it is an ideal choice for a group of friends seeking to immerse themselves in the rich culture and natural beauty of Ollantaytambo.

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel. The location was superb, just a short walk to the train station and right by the Temple of the Sun. The hotel facilities were excellent, with a hot shower that was one of the best I've experienced in Peru. The staff was incredibly accommodating and provided a delicious breakfast. The owner went above and beyond, even waiting up late for us when we missed our train.
Nothing negative to say.
The room was spacious and warm, with a great shower and plenty of hot water. The hostess was wonderful, preparing a good breakfast and being very helpful and responsive to all our questions.
Could not be improved in any way.
The hotel's location was excellent, just steps away from the Inca ruins and right behind the Choco Museum. It was close to everything but away from the main square, providing a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, with our room being neat and tidy. The staff, despite the language barrier, were friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They even provided helpful tips on transportation and arranged a taxi to Cusco for us.
Can't think of anything.
We had a fantastic stay at this hostel. The best aspects were the great location, close to everything but away from the main square, and the comfortable bed. The hotel facilities were also top-notch, with hot water available 24/7 and a cozy rooftop where we could enjoy the stunning view of the Pinkuylluna Mountain. The staff was welcoming and accommodating, providing us with breakfast and waiting up late for us when we missed our train. Nothing to be said about the worst aspects.
