Hostal Machu Picchu Review

Across from the police station and, in true frontier fashion, right on the train tracks (a better location than it sounds -- a balcony on the other side overlooks the Vilcanota River, and the hostel is perfectly positioned for barhopping), this midsize hotel is one of the better inexpensively priced options in Aguas Calientes, though that's not saying a whole lot. It has very clean, well-furnished, and airy rooms, some painted in funky colors. Its sister hotel next door, the Presidente, has 28 rooms and is pretty similar but slightly costlier.

Facilities:
Cafe; bar; laundry facilities

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
