The Point Hostel Cusco

The Point Hostel Cusco sits on Meson de la Estrella, a short walk from Plaza de Armas in Cusco's historic center, making it an easy base for exploring the cathedral, San Blas, and the surrounding colonial streets on foot. The building is a converted colonial-style property adapted for a social backpacker stay, with communal lounges and a rooftop bar that doubles as the hostel's social hub, offering views over the city's tiled rooftops. Accommodation is a mix of dorms of varying sizes and private rooms, all simply furnished, with shared bathrooms in dorm sections and storage lockers for guests' belongings. There is no in-house restaurant, but the rooftop bar serves food and drinks, and a shared kitchen is available for self-catering. The hostel has no spa, pool, or fitness facilities, with the rooftop terrace functioning as its main amenity space. Staff run a tour desk that books day trips, Inca Trail permits, and onward travel, and the hostel is known for organizing regular events that help solo travelers and groups connect during their stay in Cusco. The central location also means guests can step out to explore San Blas and the cathedral area in the morning before returning to the rooftop bar for the evening's social activities.
