Boasting a garden, a restaurant as well as a bar, Black Llama Hostel Cusco is situated in the centre of Cusco, 1.7 km from Wanchaq Train station. Located around 500 metres from San Pedro Train Station, the hostel with free WiFi is also 300 metres away from La Merced Church. The accommodation features karaoke and a 24-hour front desk. Aside from the perfect location, spotless cleanliness, incredibly helpful staff, and top-notch facilities, I have to give a standing ovation to the team for going above and beyond—specifically helping me recover a jacket that mysteriously disappeared from the hostel bar (I’m choosing to believe it was an honest mistake 😅). Also, special shoutout to Luna, the kindest volunteer with a wicked sense of humor, who made our stay all the more entertaining. She also graciously helped me swallow my pride after repeatedly destroying me in table soccer—truly a humbling experience 😄. Big thanks to everyone at Black Llama—you're legends! 🦙✨

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.

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 😍
