Nice stay at Chelito’s

Good hostel at very affordable price for near historic centre.
Rooms are basic but have everything you need. Bathrooms are always very clean. Did not have a problem with shower temperature even at night.
The owners are friendly, and are happy to facilitate late night check ins and outs. And can leave bags after checking out before getting night buses.
Wifi poor in some areas but that’s not a big deal.

Chelito's Backpacker has three storeys where the 2nd and 3rd have private rooms incl. bath, On the ground floor, which has no roof, you have a couple of rooms with 2-6 beds (as you can see on the yellow building) and shared bathroom 5-10 meters away.
Like most places in the mountains of Arequipa, Cusco, Aguas Caliente (Machu Picchu Pueblo), Puno and so on, it gets quite cold at night (+10°C outdoors, and not much warmer indoors since there's no heating anywhere in Peru (not needed in Lima in summer, ie. Feb-March). But Chelito's has a small kitchen for everybody, with a gas stove and a modern fridge/freezer, so you can not only cook your own meals, but also boil water until 10:30PM why I recommend to bring a thermos flask to make your own tea, coffee or instant noodles. But they have two big (more than 1 l.) thermoses, and I borrowed one every night, after my smart travel water boiler went bust.
I was there 9 days in March 2024, and after a bus trip to Puno (Lake Titicaca, 3 days), and then another bus to La Paz, Bolivia, where I've been 5 days now, I'll take the 6AM bus to Cusco, where I'll be staying two more nigts before my LATAM flight to Lima and back home from there.
Friendly staff (some English is spoken, but you need to jnow some Spanish in most places). and only 5 minutes to San Pedro Church/Plaza/Market and railway station. Add another 10 for Plaza de Aŕmas, with a big church, a bigger cathedral (entrance 22 soles/$6) and an inca museum (as well as KFC and McD).

Cusco-esque wall art in here

Nice cosy vibes in this hostel, and loved the cusco-esque wall murals! Thick blankets. Not easy climbing up and down the upper bunk bed due to the design of the bed -_-" Shower and toilet is slightly smaller than expected, and shower wasn't as hot, but this is Cusco and a cheap hostel so it's fair.

Excellent location
