We stayed 5 nights at Kosko Casa Hotel. Romulo and Helga love their work, and you can feel it straight away, they make you feel incredibly at home, with positivity and good vibes. They are full of tips about activities, and will share with you pieces of their peruvian culture that are off Radar. Dont miss going around with Romulo if you have the opportunity, you will get some extra knowledge about the area and an overview of the spirit of the place. The hotel itself is beautiful, modern, clean, the rooms are designed with taste. It is close from most of the attractions in the surrounding of Cuszco, and from the Temple of the Moon, which is a quiet Oasis of serenity. You can also walk (not a night) on the inca way, to join the city in 20-30 min. To go there is maybe the challenging part (R&H will explain you everything), from our experience its recommended to take an Uber, its way easier, as most of the taxis dont know the ways to go in this part of town, and some doubled the price halfway. At least with Uber you will be sure they find at the right price. R & H kept our bags during our trip to the Machu Picchu, which is so helpful. Thank you friends for making our experience here memorable 🤗 🍀

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! 🦙✨

Butique style hostel with very nice staff. Big bathroom with hot water, good breakfast and english speaking staff. Main hall is amazing with many decorations where you can have your late tea (available for whole day). Every room is different but you get what you see on the picture. Definitely recommended!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great service, super welcoming, nice breakfast and the perfect budget hostel. Its surrounded by cheap food options and a 5 min walk from the main plaza. Cheap and cheerful. Kevin is really helpful with suggestions and recommendations. Not a party hostel, so be aware, but still had fun and a few nights out with the staff and guests!
