Hostal Ima Sumac


This is one of the more mid-range hostels you will find along the tavern-and-tourist filled Avenida Pachacútec, with prices fluctuating between $20 and $30 for single rooms with bathrooms, depending on the season. There are only 14 rooms, all of them spacious, clean and nice to look at, and they are the main raison d'etre for the higher price. If you are looking for a more comfortable stay but don't want to pay four-star hotel rates, this could be considered an attractive option. However, they don't take credit cards, so a stop at the local ATM is recommended. Breakfast, of course, is included.

Avenida Pachacútec

Traveler Reviews of Hostal Ima Sumac

At Your Own Risk

We stayed here for one night on our way to Machu Picchu (just like everyone). The room was adequate for $25/night - clean, moderately comfortable, and cetainly convenient to the rest of the town.We told the hostal we would take the early 5:30 AM bus to Machu Picchu, and were told a continental breakfast would be served by 5 AM, and we could keep our bags in their locked storage all day. Great!The next morning, we were down to their breakfast room a few minutes after 5. There was defintely no breakfast - in fact we had to wake up the night desk guy so we could store our bags and be let out the front door. Fine, whatever. Not a big deal.When we returned to the hostal after a full day of exploring the ruins, we came to pick up our bags. They were kept in an unlocked room, and had quite obviously been rummaged through. No attempt was made at even keeping it secret. Fortunately, all of our valuables were either on our persons, or locked away in a bag's inner compartment. Don't want to think about anyone who has to leave anything of value here.....Not a bad place, but obviously stay AT YOUR OWN RISK!
