Located 200 metres from the commercial area and the main square, Ñaupa House Hostel offers free WiFi in Cochabamba. A fully equipped common kitchen is available breakfast is served to guests for an additional cost.

The staff is amazing. We arrived at 5am after a long bus ride and the receptionist cleaned our room immediatly, so we could sleep there immediatly. That was so nice. They were very helpful with every problem, one of the best services I had. The hostel garden is beautiful, the bathrooms are nice and clean, the showers are great. The room smelled a bit muffy, but not to bad, beds are good and clean. Only the kitchen was a desaster, but even that, the staff tried to clean immediatly. Breakfast at the cafe is great.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We really liked the vibe of the hostel, and the incredibly welcoming, friendly and interesting host José! He told us he loves living Cochabamba, and he loves running his hostel, and you can definitely tell :) He put a lot of effort into trying to find a good party for us in the town, and made sure we could store our stuff until our night bus. The hostel is a perfect place for backpackers, it's easy to cook and share food, and there's a very nice common area. The double bedroom was very cute and comfortable as well.
