- Ninos Hotel, $18-$72 Google Map
- Calle Meloc 442
- Cusco, Peru
- voice: 51-84-231424
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "The large rooms -- named for the couple's adopted children -- are very nearly minimalist chic, with hardwood floors and quality beds, and they ring a lovely sunny courtyard."
- Fodor's Review: "If you prefer lodging with a social conscience -- and even if you don't -- this is a great budget find... The catch? The place is immensely popular. Make reservations weeks in advance."
- Lonely Planet Selection: "The courtyard cafe fixes large breakfasts (not included in the rates), offers a book exchange and lights a crackling fire on chilly nights. Ask about apartment rentals for longer stays."

- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "While not luxurious, the four-story, modern construction offers services and attention to detail that are nearly the equal of five-star hotels (but it's much friendlier doing it)."
- Fodor's Review: "What the hotel might lack in convenience, it makes up for in comfort and service. The owner is absolutely dedicated to satisfying guests."
