KOSKO Casa Hotel, hotel in Cusco

Located in Cusco, 3.3 miles from Wanchaq Train Station, KOSKO Casa Hotel has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The hotel is located right at the gate of national park. It's quiet with a beautiful remote view but still able to stroll down to the city through inca trail which is a walk we all loved. We lived there for a week, and all got underweather with food poison. Our hosts, romulus took care of us like family, helped with medicine, cooking and changing our itinerary with flexibility. We loved our stay there, relaxing in their garden with a herb tea from their own grown.

    The location is great, it’s a huge social hostel, lots of opportunities to meet other travellers. I took a private room before my Inca Trail hike, and the rooms are designed well.

    This hostel came recommend on the backpacker party circuit and I understand why - plenty of space, all new and clean facilities, good bar and party vibes. For me personally it was too loud but I think you know what you’re getting into with Kokopelli. Definitely cheaper options out there in Cusco but Kokopelli is worth the money if you want security/no hassle.
