Machu Picchu
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1 review)
"I came to Hacienda Roman knowing that in this part of Peru, you can't expect all the amenities like WiFi, cable TV, etc. If you go in with reasonable expectations, you'll be happy with this hotel. The pros: Staff are quite nice. Food is tasty and available fresh on site. Personal attention, especially the tour of the coffee/jungle out back, is phenomenal. The entire stay was worth it just for this!! The cons: Cooking is unbelievably slow; it took us no less than 1.5 hours to finish a meal...

Which area of Machu Picchu is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
Travellers seeking cheap hotels for a Machu Picchu adventure should focus their search on Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo), the closest town to the archaeological site, or the city of Cusco itself, which offers a broader range of budget accommodations.

Aguas Calientes provides the ultimate convenience for visiting the ruins, as it's the base for the bus journey up to Machu Picchu. While it's generally more expensive due to its prime location, you can still find hostels and guesthouses that offer good value. Many of these budget options are centrally located, giving solo travellers easy access to the train station, local market, and restaurants. Staying here means an early start to beat the crowds at Machu Picchu is more manageable.

For a wider selection of truly cheap hotels and hostels, Cusco is your best bet. Neighbourhoods like San Blas and the area around Plaza de Armas are particularly popular with budget-conscious solo travellers, offering numerous affordable lodging options within walking distance of historical sites and vibrant nightlife. San Blas, with its narrow, cobbled streets, is especially charming and has a bohemian feel, while the area surrounding the main square buzzes with activity.
