Bike friendly hotel in Cusco, Peru?

Hey guys, im looking to spend New Years in Cusco, Peru and wanted to book a hotel for a couple of days to celebrate and relax, At the same time i would like to do a bit of maintenance on my bike.

Anyone have some good recommendations for a hotel that would be good to store the bike safely there and possibly even have space for me to work on it for a couple of days?


Thanks!

Hi,
We have been at Ananta hostal. Not exactly a great place, but cheap and with a lot of space to park the bike. The owner is a kind person and let us park the bike there while we were on a two days trip by bus. The mc mechanic street is not far away.

Hotel Casa Grande

Greetings Leigh

In 2014 I stayed at Hotel Casa Grande. It's just off the Plaza de Armas at Santa Catalina Ancha, 353 so it's easy to find and get to. Google the hotel name for phone no or booking details.

They would be more expensive than a hostel but they have a large courtyard to park your bike in. I did a service on my bike when I was there.

Regards

Ian J

Hostal Estrelita, Av. Tullumayo 445, has always been a favorite among overlanding bikers. We stayed there 2 times in 2012. The friendliest owners.
Plenty of space in the patio to do work on the motorcycle.

Hostal Saphi, just 2 blocks up from the plaza. I always stay there with my tours. Ask for Mary.

And 20 steps away is PeruMotoTours. Alex can help with any moto issues.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
