Right, the Loki hostel is a brand spanking new hostel in Cusco that is owned and run by 4 very well travelled individuals - 2 from Ireland, 1 from Isreal, and the other from New Zealand. Its not the cheapest place in town, but at $6USD it certainly wont break the budget. For your $6 you get a good dorm bed, free breakfast, a very social bar that parties every night of the week, movie room with lounges TV and a decent collection of DVDs, free internet, very helpful and friendly english speaking staff, sunday roast every sunday night for $3, friday bbq every friday night for $3, and boiling hot showers (which is quite rare for South America).
It is in a big old building that the boys had restored. It sleeps around 95 people, but will be able to house around 180 when they finish restoring the building beside it. It is at 601 cuesta santa ana.
This is the best hostel that i have ever stayed in, i cant say enough good things about it. If you want to stay here you should probably book ahead because it is fast becoming the place to stay in Cusco.
