Guest Reviews
Wild Rover Cusco enjoys a mixed reputation when it comes to location, combining breathtaking views with challenging accessibility. Situated on a hill, the hostel provides a spectacular panorama of Cusco, including sights from the Tir Na Nog bar's patio and the dining room. This elevated position ensures guests are treated to incredible cityscapes that enhance their stay.
Despite these advantages, the hilltop location results in a steep and exhausting climb from the historic Plaza de Armas, which can be a significant drawback for some visitors. While the hostel is relatively close to the center of Cusco, reaching the main square involves navigating numerous stairs and slopes, a journey that can be daunting and tiring, especially for those not fond of walking or dealing with altitude.
On the positive side, the hostel is near areas of interest like the Santa Ana Arch and offers convenience for guests being picked up for tours. Although the uphill walk requires effort, many guests agree that the views and proximity to the historic center within a 10-15 minute walk, are worth the climb.
Overall, Wild Rover Cusco is well-suited for travelers who value stunning views and don't mind a bit of a hike, offering a cozy and friendly stay with excellent vistas of the city.
Wild Rover Cusco offers a vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere with daily activities for guests, creating ample opportunities to socialize.
