There´s over 200 places to stay in Cusco. So far we have tried 3 of them all near San Blas on Carmen Alto.
Hostel El Grial - very clean, cosy and friendly place. Free internet, ok brekkie included, had cable tv in our room, but there was a stink of sweage in the toilet and we had a very noisy room but possibly all rooms noisy as face over the balcony and since people arrive-leave at all hours then quiet sleep impossible. US35 so expensive for what it was.
Hotel Marani. Stayed there for 6 nights with tara and colin. got a deal for 30us per room per night so was well worth while. Spotless clean, new towels and room cleaned everyday, good staff. Continental brekkie included. Nice cafe area, very sfe, stored all our stuff when went on the inca trail plus they made us brekkie at 4.30 am also on the morning we left for inca trail. Only reservation was that it was slightly clinical and I got the feeling if I was Dutch-german then it would have been more welcoming as its run by a dutch lady.
Hospedaje de San Blas - US20 including brekkie, staying here cos its near the last place we stayed and cheap ;) bit disorganised and water seems to be a problem. Very friendly tho and free internet when the kids aren´t using it!
Restaurants abound in Cusco. I think there is more then there is tourists. have tried some peruvian but also falling back on more western type food as the peruvian food seems to be very carb driven.
Jacks cafe - gringo place. great comfort food, steak sandwich rocks, so do there fries, coffee and shakes. medium expensive. 15 -20 soles per person
Fallen Angel - fantastic bar restaurant. Steak (35 soles) is incredible but dont get the hot one as its too hot. Fries are amazing - seriously! great pisco sours - think thy add some dynamite!
also salads and desserts are very good. Decor is funky. Has baths with goldfish as tables!
Chez Maggy and a millin other pizza places like it. good italian pizza in Cusco.
Inka Panaka, on 140 tandapata, just before the right hand corner ther´s an amazing peruvian
restaurant. try the banana wrapped in bacon and the ceviche. Also the
veggie curry and alpaca were excellent. go hungry tho cos the portions
are huge. about 40 soles for entree and main.
On corner of Calle garcilaso and Plaza San Francisco
theres a great cheap local place. he menu of the day is 4.5 soles and
is massive. 3 courses for 1 euro! and tasty also. They serve the quioa
soup which is yummy!
El Buen Pastor is good bakery and very cheap.
KM 0 is a good bar with live music and the muse also is ok.
Cusquena is yummy beer and pisco sours are a must!
Great bakeries down Tullymayo - 3 in a row together as you head towards the pisac bus station.
On the inside corner of Teqoscha and Wayna Pata, there{s a great cheap peruvian place which is really cheap. Its something Baieche Trattoria. Great feed for 7, 12 or 20 soles. Their Lomo Saltado is good.
