Itala e Juvenal nos deram atenção e cuidaram como se fossemos seus filhos. Chelitos está em uma boa localização, dentro do centro histórico e muito próximo à Plaza de Armas de Cusco; pode-se comer e acessar outras comodidades no perímetro do hostel. Estamos repletos de boas lembranças e já estamos cheios de saudades do lugar e de nossos anfitriões.

Amazing place closed to the San Pedro Market.
The place is well taken care. Rooms are well amended and clean 👌🏼 ! The owners make you feel like at home and will help you whatever you need! We spent many days here, and they even kept our bags while we were doing the Salkantay! 100% recommended!

quiet place, nice to relax.
The bathrooms are outside, and there is no door which makes them freezing cold, and it is cold in Cusco.
They closed the gate around 10 pm. After that, you need to ring the bell and sometimes the man here doesn't hear it.
The kitchen is small and not very equipped.

Superb owners who were extremely friendly, kind and went the extra mile always. They were infinitely more helpful than the consulates and insurance companies during the recent troubles. Would recommend.

Chelitos Backpacker is fantastic value for money. Its centrally located and near to most Cusco attractions, it's clean, and they have good WiFi. However the best aspect it's the people who run it! Talita and her husband will welcome you like family and take genuine care of all your needs! I highly recommend it

I would recommend the Chelitos Backpacker to anyone traveling through Cusco! The location is a short walk from Plaza de Armas and San Pedro Market. The place is beautiful with clean, cozy rooms. Most of all the owners are the kindest, most genuine people, they make you feel like you are home. Hugs and kisses goodbye nearly brought a tear to our eyes. Thank you Chelitos for such an incredible experience!

The bed and blankets are excellent according to the weather. It is close to the main square and is 24hrs open the place is nice to rest after a long day.
Is not HOT WEATHER in the shower at any time we try it in the early morning and at night and is not hot. For the weather conditions is necessary to have hot weather to take a shower. Bad internet quality, only took the internet in the living room, not inside the room.
