“Great staff, and location!”
The staff were extremely helpful, especially when we faced the high altitude sickness they didn’t leave us alone until we felt better again. Since all the tours were early in the morning, they prepared us breakfast boxes including fresh fruits and sandwiches, which was great. The location was great as well.

“Comfortable but noisy”
We really liked the laundry service and how friendly and smiling the staff was! Breakfast was pretty good with granola, yogurt, eggs made to order, different bread, avocado, jam, butter, cheese, cold cuts, juice etc. There was plenty of hot water and very good water pressure every day. The room never got very chilly unlike other places in town. The bed was pretty comfortable.

“A great basis to explore Cusco and surroundings”
The location is really spot on, just a few steps away from Plaza Mayor and the Museo de Arte Precolumbino amongst other attractions. The hotel is nicely decorated in classic colonial style, around a central patio where guests gather for breakfast. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and well designed. The staff are all very kind and serviceable, especially Milagros and the hotel owner who personally drove us to the bus station in her car! Thank you everyone for a great stay.
