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. Hosts: The hotel is beautiful but the real highlights are Gelga and Romulo. I have never met hosts as hospitable, warm, and generous as they were. They went above and beyond to make sure I have a wonderful stay. Romulo and Gelga even help guests book and arrange the tours they want to do. They also provide warm compress every night, which is especially great during winter. Room and Facilities: The room and facilities were always kept clean and pristine. Laundry service is also available. Breakfast: Loved the breakfast!! Gelga and Romulo always made sure we had enough food and they always blended fruits in the morning to make us fresh and organic juice. Location: The hotel is 30 minutes away from the city center by taxi. The surrounding nature, however, makes up for the distance. It's right beside Templo de la Luna and a huge, huge, huge national park that you can explore freely. You can even go horseback riding if you want to. And Romulo can hike with you and give you a tour of the park and talk about its history. Pets: They have 2 dogs, Lupo and Sophie, and 1 cat, Whiskey - all of whom are well trained and very sweet. Overall, this is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in - - it's a place where you know and feel that the hosts truly care about you. You will not regret staying here. ❤️

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.

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 😍

Sacred Valley Mystic Tribe - Community Life has free bikes, fitness centre, a garden and shared lounge in Pisac. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The hostel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. Beautiful place with incredible views right by the archaeological center. We joined a Temazcal ceremony—deep and unforgettable. There’s a lesser-known entrance to Guadana where the Inga Temple is, plus a peaceful lake and a river just 10 minutes away. The community lab is a great stay, with warm people and meaningful activities. Felt like home.
