Killaqente
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is one of the easiest budget calls in Cusco: a strong score from over a thousand reviews at a very low reference price. Skip it only if you want to step straight out onto the main square or expect a full breakfast.

Killaqente is our Budget pick for Cusco. It is a 3-star property with a guest score of 8.9/10 from 1,238 reviews. That volume of feedback gives the score real weight.
It suits backpackers, couples and families on a tight budget who do not mind a short walk to the centre. Family rooms are listed. Guests like the help with luggage storage, tour bookings and flexible check-in times, which matters when early flights and treks shape your days.
Skip it if you want to be right on the main square. Guests say it is a 15 to 20 minute walk. Breakfast is also basic by many accounts.
Location and getting around
The address is Urbanizacion Tawantinsuyo Jiron Atahuallpa 454. Guests describe it as a quiet, safe neighbourhood and rate the location 8.6/10.
Coricancha is about 1 km away, around 13 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate. Sacsayhuamán is about 1.9 km, around 24 minutes. Tambomachay is about 4 km, roughly 50 minutes, which is far, so use a taxi, a tour or public transport for it.
The property lists a free airport shuttle, which is a useful saving. Confirm it for your arrival time. Other walking times have not been verified.
What guests say
The team gets the most praise. Reviewers describe friendly staff who store bags, book tours and adjust check-in times. The quiet, safe street is the other recurring positive.
Breakfast is the common complaint. Guests enjoy the tasty options and the tea available all day, but say the spread lacks fruit, eggs and variety. If you need a big breakfast before a long day, plan a backup.
