If you've been on the road too long, are worried about the altitude, or just want a nice place to relax and a bit of mothering, this is the place to go! Lida and her family run this small hotel in a sidestreet in Cusco (a short walk from the Plaza de Armas and the centre of town). It's comfortable,... More

We stayed here 3 nights and found it to be a good location. Breakfast and coffee were good. Kitchen is small but sufficient to make dinner for yourself. The owner is very friendly and we enjoyed practicing our Spanish with her. All staff were friendly. The hotsel was being worked on while we were there. It could use some updating.... More

Warm rooms with free breakfast. The place was under construction while we were there, but had a nice courtyard to sit in the sun. The showers were not always hot. Ask the hostess to check the small propane tank before you start showering or you might be miserably cold.

Lida is a great a host and provides restaurant recommendations as well as an awesome breakfast with rolls, jam, eggs, orange juice and tea. Courtyard in... More

I stayed in hostel Quipu in December 2012. The location is great, just a few minutes from the city center. Also, the price is very accessible and the staff is very kind and helpful. They also helped us organize our tour to Macchu Picchu. Breakfast was made fresh once we woke up. It is hard to beat Quipu, they provide... More

We stayed here with 5 couples, one of which brought their son of 8. Everyone absolutely loved it here. The rooms are basic but more than enough for travelers who don't need too much comfort. There were some renovation works going on at the time and there was a bit of trouble with hot water at certain times, but I... More

The location is a bit of a walk to the plaza de armas - but not overwhelming. The hostal is pretty, clean, quiet and the beds were okay. The dealbreaker was the shower. It only had hot water for 90 sec. When we brought it to the attention of the staff, we were told to use less water. My husband... More
