 A dormitory in Witches House
(Miraflores) by SirRichard
For singles, you better look for Pensiones or Hostales.
Another good district for backpackers hostels is Barranco, located just south of Miraflores along the coast. Is a much quieter and nicer area, though there are not as many shops and discos.

 My room by SirRichard
It is an old local mansion painted in turquoise and white, with a central patio. Ask for a room in the patio, those to the street might be noisy at night.
Shared bathrooms, hot showers in the ground floor.

This is a special treat, an authentic lodge on a tributary of the Amazon, in Northeast Peru.
You get there from Iquitos. In Iquitos, Muyuna has an office and the staff will help you rent rubber boots and a plastic poncho (no umbrella needed in the rain forest).
Once at the lodge, there is a flexible program (i.e. I did less fishing, but more walking in nature than the other guests...)
Magnificent river landscapes, village teachers, huge water lilies, curare trees, tarantulas, caimans...
It is not deluxe: the (private) shower in your room is a trickle at room temperature for instance. But after I got used to the smell of the insecticide sprayed on the mosquito net, I had a superb time.
The Muyuna jungle food is actually better than the food in Cuzco.
I only stayed two nights because I was worried it would be just too wild. Now, I wish I had stayed longer.
Even though there are no windows, just screens, and the jungle noises are constant, you will sleep like a baby and wake up in a surreal dawn. Theme: OtherPrice: US$80-120 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: About two hours by speedboat from IquitosDirections: I booked ages in advance, but the other guests had just popped in. Even in August, Muyuna was not full. The transportation from Iquitos is included in the price, of course.Website: http://www.muyuna.com/

As the name implies, Ninos Hotel is for children. All the profits from the hotel go into helping street children. In fact, there are children playing in the back area of the hotel. The hotel runs two soup kitchens for children where everyday 250 children get a free meal.

 Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge,
Peru by butterfly_girl
Rooms start about $450...yikes! If you want to save money, then book a room in the cute town of Aquas Caliente instead.

 Royal Inka Hotel PISAC by calcaf38
I did experience heartbeats and shortened breath while traipsing around the ruins, and by day's end, I had quite a headache. But I slept very well and the following days all was well.
Wonderful architecture, like some old hacienda. Friendly staff. Fine amenities. And so quiet! Theme: HotelPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: About 15 minutes walk from the center of town.Directions: Do bring a flashlight. Night falls rather abruptly in the Andes, and the road between the town and the hotel is dark. I had a flashlight, and a little pig decided to escort me too!Website: http://www.royalinkahotel.com/hpisac.html

 The Hotel Colonial Inn by Paul2001
The hotel has very helpful staff. The rooms have cable TV, minibars with reasonably priced drinks and very compfy beds.
The hotel decor is very colonial with antiquie furniture or at least copies of them. The breakfast room is quite nice and is located on the roof. Sadly there is nothing to really see from this vantage point except for a hazy view of the neighborhood.
