At the hostel, all rooms include a desk. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at KOSKO Casa Hotel also have free WiFi, while certain rooms also offer a balcony. All guest rooms feature a wardrobe. We stayed 5 nights at Kosko Casa Hotel. Romulo and Helga love their work, and you can feel it straight away, they make you feel incredibly at home, with positivity and good vibes. They are full of tips about activities, and will share with you pieces of their peruvian culture that are off Radar. Dont miss going around with Romulo if you have the opportunity, you will get some extra knowledge about the area and an overview of the spirit of the place. The hotel itself is beautiful, modern, clean, the rooms are designed with taste. It is close from most of the attractions in the surrounding of Cuszco, and from the Temple of the Moon, which is a quiet Oasis of serenity. You can also walk (not a night) on the inca way, to join the city in 20-30 min. To go there is maybe the challenging part (R&H will explain you everything), from our experience its recommended to take an Uber, its way easier, as most of the taxis dont know the ways to go in this part of town, and some doubled the price halfway. At least with Uber you will be sure they find at the right price. R & H kept our bags during our trip to the Machu Picchu, which is so helpful. Thank you friends for making our experience here memorable 🤗 🍀

Situated in Sahuayacu, within 17 km of Huayna Picchu and 19 km of Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary, Lia B&B Lucmabamba features accommodation with a garden and a bar, and free WiFi. Manuel Chavez Ballon Museum is 19 km from the hostel. The BEST accomodation on the Salkantay trek. We had a double room with bathroom, which was spotless and so comfy. Freddy gave us a full coffee and fruit tour, then we got to try his coffee and had a mix of local fruits and fresh avocado for dinner and breakfast. The food was also the best we had on this whole trip. Would definitely highly recommend!!

Boasting a garden, shared lounge, terrace and free WiFi, Hospedaje K'uchuwasi is situated in Ollantaytambo, 19 km from Bus Station and 19 km from Main Square. Located around 19 km from Saint Peter Church, the hostel is also 21 km away from Nogalpampa Stadium. The property is non-smoking and is located 19 km from Sir Torrechayoc Church. My favourite place that we stayed in Peru. A lovely family with a guinea pig house (we also tasted guinea pig for the first time here). You can't drive down the old inca streets so pack light! From the breakfast space you could see two lots of ruins 😍
