Plaza del Inka
Budget-friendly stay, 8 minutes walk to Qorikancha
About this hotel
Plaza del Inka provides a straightforward and economical option for travelers focused on exploring Cusco. Its prime location means you're just an 8-minute walk from the historic Qorikancha temple and a mere 2 minutes from the bustling Avenida El Sol, a key artery for local life and transport. Getting to the airport is convenient, with an 11-minute taxi ride or a 49-minute public transport journey. The hotel serves as a practical hub for those who prioritize proximity to sights and efficient transit over extensive on-site amenities, making it easy to navigate the city on foot or by public transport.
- Budget hotel
- Near Qorikancha
- Close to Avenida El Sol

Our take
Plaza del Inka earns its place through location: Qorikancha is 8 minutes on foot and Avenida El Sol just 2, which keeps the historic centre and the Wanchaq rail area within easy reach. A 9.2 guest score from 17 reviews is strong for a budget hotel. I recommend it to travellers who will be out all day; anyone after a quiet retreat with extensive facilities should book elsewhere.
- Walk to Qorikancha in 8 minutes to start your day exploring the ancient Inka temple.
- Use the 2-minute walk to Avenida El Sol for easy access to public transport and local shops.
- Consider a taxi for airport transfers, as it's only an 11-minute ride compared to 49 minutes by public transport.

Why guests love itPlaza del Inka works as a well-placed family base rather than a hotel to spend the day in. Qorikancha is an 8-minute walk and Avenida El Sol only 2 minutes away, so short outings with children stay easy to plan at Cusco's high altitude. I would pick it for a family that spends most of the day out exploring and wants a guest score of 9.2 behind a budget booking. Families who need a pool or a play area should look elsewhere.
