12. Inkantari Boutique Hotel

San Cristóbal

"This was such a beautiful, lovely stay. The hotel was charming, quaint, and filled with heart-ful humans. There was an unbelievable view over all of Cusco and it was just a short 7 minute walk down to the main plaza. Keep in mind, this hotel was at the top of a hill! So at the end of the night, you will always have to make your way up some pretty steep streets -- but that's Cusco for you! The food in the restaurant of the hotel was sooooo amazing and delicious. I really couldn't recommend this...

14. Big Vacation Hostel

San Cristóbal

"I liked this place but it was no frills. They served a simple breakfast. A cup of juice, tea or coffee, one egg and a couple of pieces of fresh cooked bread. I liked it but don’t expect a big complimentary breakfast. It’s a ways up a hill so expect a tough uphill trek at the end of the night. If you want a relaxing time in Cuzco you may want a little higher end place. If you want a nice simple place to get ready for a trek to Machu Picchu it’s perfect."

Sonesta Hotel Cusco

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay. Super nice place and staff was awesome. Went above and beyond. Great location off the busiest part so felt quieter but next to everything. Best breakfast spread I have ever seen in all my years traveling. Worth the stay alone. Loved this place and will be back!"
