Set within 400 metres of Cusco main square, Pariwana Hostel Cusco features a number of amenities including a restaurant and a bar. Located around 300 metres from Church of the Company, the hostel is also 300 metres away from Central Market. The property features a shared lounge. Clean, well located, comfortable beds, super friendly staff, and plenty of fun activities. I loved the cooking class with Jesus and Fred. I came back to this hostel the second time I visited Cusco, it's a guarantee of quality.

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. Owner Romulo and his staff are so nice, they are always ready to help and tell you everything about Cusco. The hostal is on the outskirts of the city (close to some Inca relics) and I had to catch ride to MachuPichu at 3am, Romulo was really considerate that he said it’s probably hard to hire Uber so he booked a cab for me and ensure a fair price is charged. The room is clean and cozy, very good value. I hope the best for everything for them. Hopefully one day I return and chill with them!

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. Fredy and Esther’s B&B was one of our fondest memories in Peru. Even though we could only a bit of Spanish, they were so welcoming and accomodating(they do speak good enough English to understand both conversations and the tour). To see how coffee is made from tree to cup was a big experience for us and possible even though it was out of season. We can highly recommend.

Wolf Totem Steam Punk Guesthouse features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Pisac. Offering a bar, the property is located within 33 km of Wanchaq Train station. The property is non-smoking and is set 25 km from Pukapukara.

Qenko is 29 km from the hostel, while Sacsayhuaman is 31 km away. Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport is 29 km from the property. I’ve been to many hostiles all over the world and they have always given me a basic, cheap hotel vibe. But the Wolf Totem is extremely unique with its own style, and has an amazing view and you could just stay there all day and have fun. A Great place to socialize and meet fellow travellers and to relax. I Definitely will go again.
