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 loved our stay with Romulo and Helga (and their cute pets). When we arrived from a night bus, they welcomed us straight into the kitchen and made us a delicious (complimentary) breakfast. So kind. Our room wasn’t quite ready but they allowed us to shower and rest in another room until it was - this was much before the check in time so we were really grateful for this too. The house is a little out of town but we really liked that about it. It seems far in a taxi (only 10-15 soles though) but walking the Inca trail only takes about 15-20 minutes. The house is right next to Inca ruins and Romulo took us on a walk to show us the main sights, he also gave us so much information about the local area. Helga and Romulo make a great breakfast and they put a hot water bottle in our bed every evening. Also, my laptop broke whilst I was there and they got me in touch with someone to fix it. They are wonderful hosts and we would more than happily stay here 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 😍
