Loki Cusco sits in The real heart of Cusco, one of those discreet hostel additions that travellers tend to bookmark before the rest of the city catches on. The setting is part of the appeal, within an easy walk of the city centre, and the location score sits in strong territory because of it. Inside, the rooms are modest, and guests pick out reliable wi-fi and an in-house restaurant as the small things that add up over a stay. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. With around 490 reviews on the books and a strong average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €9 a night, a strong-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. It's the kind of Cusco property that rewards a careful comparison, the spec sheet doesn't quite capture what makes it tick.
