Set in Cusco and with Wanchaq Train station reachable within 2.9 km, Auquis Hostel offers concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is located less than 1 km from Santa Catalina Convent, a 12-minute walk from Holy Family Church and 700 metres from La Merced Church. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, room service and organising tours for guests. The Hostel is only 7 minutes walk to the City centre. The bathrooms are clean with hot water, the wifi is perfect, the staffs are very friendly. When I went for Machu Pichu, I left my bags with them for no extra cost and upon my return I stay there for 2 extra nights. The hostel has a cafe and their breakfast is really nice with good value.

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. Rómulo and Helga were so helpful throughout my entire stay - they personally picked me up from the airport and dropped me to the bus station. Rómulo was especially helpful by leading me personally to the bus terminal where we realised it was the wrong one - he drove me and dropped me personally to the correct one! I would have been lost without him. They always checked on me and made sure my safety (being a solo traveller) was a top priority. They organised all transportation I needed for tours, and provide their own private tours at a competitive price. The property is located in a quiet area within walking distance of many lesser known Inca archaeological sites, notably the Temple of the Moon which is a 5 minute walk away! Rómulo brings all the guests here when they have a chance, and shares his extensive knowledge of Inca/Pre-Incan history. The area is great for hiking and a short walk (approx 15 mins) downhill to San Blas. The rooms are gorgeous, clean and comfortable, with hot bottles provided every night during the cold season. I would definitely recommend this place for first-time travellers to Peru and solo travellers who might be anxious - Rómulo and Helga will definitely put you at ease and make your stay an enjoyable and memorable one.

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. They really made you feel at home, they went out of their way to help us with everything we needed and made delicious food all from scratch and from ingredients they grew in their own garden. I couldn't recommend staying here enough. They even brought us on a coffee tour through their own plantation and took us through every step of the coffee making process it was such a great experience!
