FAQs about hotels in Cusco

Timeless Incan Capital

Although it's considered the oldest inhabited city of the Americas and Peru's historical capital, neither of these truly describes the magic enchantment and colorful people of Cuzco. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, its current shape is the colonial result of building on top of many Incan sites, a good example of which is the Cathedral of Santo Domingo.

Must-see places include the walled complex of Sacsayhuamán and the remains of the main temple of Coricancha, dedicated to the Sun God, Inti. For longer Cuzco stays, hotels nePlaza de Armas central square are ideal to fully enjoy the city. Due to its 11,150-foot altitude, some Cuzco hotels offer oxygen to help their guests.

Moray, supposedly an ancient experimental agricultural station, is 29 miles away, and Lake Titicaca is 240 miles away. The road to Machu Picchu is the famous Inca Trail or "Camino Inca," which encompasses settlements, different Andean environments, and many Incan ruins.

Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport offers services to Lima. Arriving at Wanchaq Train Station or Terminal Terrestre de Cusco bus station are also popular choices. Come to visit the ancient jewel, enjoy Peru and Cuzco with the hotel deals available on Booking.com!

Guest review by Bob A - Dining options
A great city, so many things to do and see. Rich in history and the centre of the Inca empire. A must to visit in Peru. The San Pedro markets were very interesting with plenty to buy at very reasonable prices. There were also many places to eat but many didn't accept credit cards or high value notes so it's a good idea to have small change to pay for meals, etc. I found it quite easy to get around as my hotel was located right next to the markets and about a 10-minute walk from the central plaza. I highly recommend a full day tour to the sacred valley to see many Inca ruins, etc

Cusco is beautiful if you stick to the tourist areas and are mostly unaffected by the sight of neglected dogs and don’t mind a constant barrage of people trying to sell you all types of items. It is a shame because the food is delicious and it’s a culturally interesting area. If you do go, make sure to have a meal in one of the many restaurants overlooking the square.

Cusco is a great city with soo much culture! I learned so much. There's so much to do. I spent 2 days visiting the Sacred Valley, then 3 days in Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu), then 7 days in Cusco city. and I didnt even have enough time to do everything. There are so many hikes and archeological sites. You could definitely stay for weeks. Lots of good food as well. I was there in June, their big festivals month, and they had parades every day, all day. All the locals were nice and there are a lot of tourists as well. I walked all over and took busses/colectivos to visit things outside of the city, they're pretty cheap. I ate at a Persian restaurant which was really good, called Bah Bah Persion. For cheap food I ate at the market often. Lots of smoothies I will definitely go back one day

Cusco is a nice city with good food and clean air. Make sure you are ready for the high altitude place. You can experience the Peruvian culture walking around the city. There are some good restaurants with great food and service and the prices are very reasonable. You are getting quality food for less. The local people are very nice and friendly. Not many of them speak English, so make sure you learn a bit of the common phrases in Spanish.

Guest review by Anonymous - Day trips
My 11-year-old son and I traveled to Peru as our first international trip together and we LOVED Cusco. We flew into Cusco but stayed the first few days in Urubamba in the Sacred Valley before returning to Cusco for the last few days of our trip. If I were doing it again, I think we would just stay in Cusco the whole time and take day trips to the valley because there is so much to do in Cusco and it's pretty easy to coordinate trips outside of the city. The area around Plaza de Armas is safe and we never had any problems, even walking in the evenings after dark. People will ask if you'd like to buy things, but you can say just say 'no gracias' and they won't bother you. Beyond that, it's very easy to get around with little Spanish-speaking skills as the people are sweet and understanding, and every tour, taxi, and restaurant we encountered had the ability to speak English with us if we needed it. We could have stayed longer in Cusco to see more of the museums and buildings, but we did several tours of the nearby sites and ruins and we loved every minute of it. Hire guides to get the most out of your trip, go to Machu Picchu, and get to know the lovely people of Peru! Be sure to check out the cat cafe, get the Boleto Turistico Delcusco, and see the Plaza de Armas at night for a magical view of the city!

Guest review by Hannah - Day trips
I spent 1.5 days in Cusco itself. This was a good amount of time. I visited the major ruins, a local bar with live music Km0, and the Inca Museum; the PreColombian art museum was closed when I stayed. I also met a few native Peruvians from other parts of the country during my trip and joined them for some more criollo dining experiences. I had a really great time. It seems like most people take day trips out of Cusco (the highest recommended being Rainbow Mountain) so I don't think much more than 1.5 - 2 days in Cusco is useful. I visited Cusco after the Sacred Valley (I recommend this order) and still had some light acclimatization feelings. If you are flying to Cusco first, please consult a doctor about altitude meds prior to your trip or take it easy and take locals up on local remedies.

Guest review by JOHN Mc - Day trips
This once "Capital of the Incas" Cusco city makes a perfect spot to make your starting point for your Peru adventure, and a home base while you explore both the city itself and the surrounding sites. You should spend 2-3 days in Cusco (at elevation 11,000 feet) first to acclimate to the elevation, before your visit to Macchu Picchu. Macchu Picchu is actually lower than Cusco (at 7,972 feet). I found the food exceptional in Cusco, with many options and choices. My favorite dinner was at Kintaro Restaurant, a Japanese Peruvian fusion restaurant near the main square of Plaza de Armas. A memorable experience. Have Fun...

I really liked Cusco, but I was happy that after flying in we went right to Ollantaytambo. It is lower in elevation than Cusco which is helpful for adjusting. Then after doing Machu Pichu/the sacred valley, it was nice to go to Cusco. We only spent a couple of days there and that was worth it. Spend a bit more if you want to do a few extra trips like rainbow mountain,

Guest review by Sheri K - Altitude and weather
Cusco is a lovely city with lots to do in town and in the neighboring region. The altitude is no joke! Even if you don't have the typical symptoms of altitude sickness you may still find it challenging to acclimatize. Even after being there over 2 weeks my Garmin read like I was speed walking 24/7 - higher than normal heart rate, lower than normal oxygenation (all readings went back to normal at sea level).

It is required to go through Cusco to get to Rainbow Mountains, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. However, I would limit my time in Cusco given the altitude and the city. After seeing the ruins which were worth the trip, I recommend spending time in Lima over Cusco.

We had very high expectations of this city and it exceeded them all. It's SO charming, SO unique, SO full of its colonial and Inca past - you see it in every street, every plaza, every building. Cuzco is uniquely and emphatically Cuzco, and there's no place else quite like it. The people are warm and friendly, the food scene thriving, and the past ever present. Look beyond the ubiquitous and annoying restaurant and cheap massage-parlor vendors; take the altitude adjustment seriously - it's REAL - and enjoy this special place.

Guest review by Urvashi - Altitude and weather
Cusco is a very nice and beautiful town. If living in the San Blas area of Cusco, location is perfect and safe. However, there are many steps so choose your accommodation wisely unless you are very fit to be able to climb all those stairs. Also, most a lot of accommodations dont mention this but there are no heaters. And the water is not as hot - so read reviews carefully and also get confirmation from the hotel before booking if this is important to you. We went in July and we were very cold and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, our tour guide was very unhelpful. Also, even though we asked for an English speaking guide, he could barely speak in English. This led to our only experience in Cusco wasted and frustrating. Its a once in a lifetime trip, so was very disappointed and felt cheated by the tour guide. Having said that, it's a nice town. Just research the accommodation options to ensure a comfortable stay.

Pretty touristy city. Every building is a shop, a hotel or a restaurant, basically but it's really worth it. Tons of trips/treks/activities to do around (machu picchu, salkantai and inca trails, ruins, museums, rainbow mountain, etc). The city has a good vibe and it's not too expensive (despite being touristy). Getting around was ok. Finding a friendly and trustful taxi is a must :)

History, local food, narrow alleyways, and hiking etc are among things that people enjoy in Cusco. Especially hiking, there are many good hiking trails, but an epic hiking trail must be challenging, have great scenery and ancient ruins/geological oddities, and Inca trail is the one of them. Cusco is the place that would attract you to come back and visit Peru again, and only very few cities in the world deserve this.

If your time allows, definitely visit Saqsaywaman ("sexy woman" LOL) and Qenqo. Just take the public bus (cheap) up to Cristo Blanco (White Christ), get off at Qenqo. Coming back, just inquire for the short walking cut (downhill) to main square, about 20 minutes walk. There is an "Organic) restaurant within the main square; do not waste your money there, it is not worth it. We had a great experience at Kusykay restaurant. In our opinion, the visit to Santo Domingo Church is not worth the cost.

What I didn’t like was all the lady’s asking to give a 20 sole massage (like 6$ US dollars) that’s too cheap to be good hahaha and the art peddlers really peddling magic mushrooms… like make me work for it and ask, don’t walk up to me and ask me, it should be that easy… but the non stop peddling of prostitutes and drugs was a little much

​A visit to Cusco centers on its vibrant, historic core. Expect the area to be bustling, but the rewards are countless, from exploring the preserved architecture to dining at exceptional restaurants that highlight Peru's acclaimed cuisine. A quick tip for navigating the city: the heavy traffic means diesel fumes can occasionally be strong. Finally, take advantage of the superb shopping opportunities for unique souvenirs. You might even want to buy an inexpensive bag locally to handle all your purchases on the flight back.

Amazing magical place, All they do is exploit the turist people, but still cheap to eat well, and the tours. Carefullinthe streets, the cars doe snot respect people walking and they will drive over you. Friendly people, and nice. You will get overwhelmed of people to ask you to buy their things, but it is the way it is, and Cusco is amazing. You can buy your tour in the city, everywere they selll the tours, all the same price. Cheaper to buy there than in any travel agency abroad.

I came to Cusco searching for my own ancestral roots and I think I got it well. It is a very beautiful city full of ancestral sites, where you can explore practically wherever. The people are really nice, open, welcoming, simple. The city is rather safe, easy to navigate, especially I enjoyed a lot the Historical Centre. You can find information everywhere. The food is wonderful. Just I think Peru is very expensive for tourism.

The people were very friendly and helpful. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Enjoyed the architecture and cultural history of Cusco. Most places were walkable depending on where you stayed.

In principle the location is very good, just a short walk from the main square Plaza de Armas and near San Blas market, an ATM, bars, restaurants and art galleries, however to reach the hotel from Plaza de Armas one must go uphill a few meters which can be quite exhausting given the altitude of Cusco, this must be taken into account when reserving. The view from the hotel to the city is quite nice.

The staff were amazing at Hotel Encantada, they couldn’t do enough for you. The area of San Blas was a perfect location with everything around you- the best area in Cusco! Hotel Encantada had spectacular views over the city. Juri was very accommodating from the start of our stay until the end. I highly recommend this hotel!

The hotel was at a really nice location in the neighbourhood of San Blas. The personnel was really kind and helpful. We were really happy given the (cheap) price of the hotel.
