Saqra House Hostel

Hostel · San Pedro · Cusco

8.2from 275 ratings

A rambling courtyard hostel a block from San Pedro market, where the juice ladies handle breakfast and the notice board fills with Salkantay group invites. Staff are veterans at altitude advice and keep a thermos of coca tea going all day. Rooms are basic and the water is only reliably hot in the afternoon — standard Cusco truths at this price — but the beds have proper wool blankets for the 3,400m nights.

Why it earns the score

Free acclimatization wisdom and trek-partner matchmaking worth more than the bed costs.

The details that actually decide it — not the thread count in the brochure.

  • thick wool blankets
