Disliked: Pointless loud music in the toilets and the hostel is too big for meeting people. The chill out area constantly plays films which i found unsociable

Liked: It is truly a party hostel and the parties at this place are amazing! The Point is a perfect place to stay before and/or after doing Machu Picchu. We ended up staying there twice, the first time 5 days and the 2th for 7 days, and these days I'll never forget. It's a place where friendships are made if you often are in the bar, and the staff does and amazing job to keep this place the best spot for party. The location is great too, its not too far away from the main square where everything happens at night. The best hostel I've stayed at in my four months in South America.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing at all.

Liked: This backpacker hostel makes a good impression at first sight. Everything is painted in nice colours. The rooms are basic and clean. Towels were available for 5 soles which was a fair price i think. Shared bathrooms are spacious and clean, The TV room is really big actually it is the middle of the hostel and looks really cool with the green synthetic grass on the floor
