Samananchis Machupicchu features a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Machu Picchu. Located around 300 metres from Bus Stop, the hostel is also 2.3 km away from Manuel Chavez Ballon Museum. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

The hotel is close to shops and restaurants. It is also located near the thermal baths and a river so we had an excellent view from our window. The beds were super comfortable and we were able to get a good night’s sleep. The breakfast was simple but complete with fruit, fresh eggs, different types of bread etc.

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.

    The Pablo's House is one of the greatest accomodation I have ever been. Very friendly place, majestic host, and every service is avaliable which written on the site. The bus for M. Picchu is very-very close, and you can leave your backpacker at the the hostel while you are hiking. Highly recommened! Thank you Pablo and your stuff!

    The bunk beds are comfy with a privacy curtain, a lamp and power point. The dormitory had its own shower and toilet inside the room. The hostel is nicely decorated with a lot of beautiful and colourful murals. The staff at the reception was really nice. Breakfast was simple and not much, but just what you need for an early morning start. There free tea all day. The location is by the river on the small square.

    This hostel was just what I needed after walking from Hidroelectrica to Aguas Calientes. The hostel is located right in the city center, nearby everything. I was in a dorm room and the bed was very comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. Only suggestion is for them to have a floor towel in the bathroom as the bathroom floor got very wet and icky after anyone showered. Overall a nice and comfortable hostel for a backpacker to rest when going to Machu Picchu!

    The cheapest dorms in town, but still a clean and comfortable hostel. The receptionist even packed me a nice sack breakfast because I was going to Machu Picchu before breakfast was served.

    Perfectly nice hostel for a night or two. Great location, just a minute away from the main square. Staff is really nice and helpful. Bed was comfortable and we had a good sleep. Terrace on the roof is nice for hanging out and the views.

    The location is decent - a short walk from the train station. And it was certainly affordable - we knew we were booking a cheap stay for a night and didn't expect too much as a result.
