8.5Verified guest“We had a wonderful time with our extended family. The charming courtyard was a great spot to relax after sightseeing, and the kids loved the fresh fruit at breakfast.”
8.5Verified guest“We were allowed to check in early and check out late. Our double room had mountain views, tea bags, and a sofa bed. The area is very charming, close to great restaurants, and within walking distance of Sacsayhuamán and the town center.”
8.5Verified guest“The atmosphere felt like a family. We were given a family suite on the first floor instead of the ground floor.”
8.5Verified guest“The staff were lovely, especially with our two young children, and the location made it easy to explore Cusco. The kids enjoyed being so close to the center.”
8.5Verified guest“This hotel is full of charm. Rooms are adorable with fantastic views day and night, the inner courtyard is lovely, and dinner comes with theatrical opera performances! They also serve a good steak, which is rare in Cusco. The beds are on a mezzanine accessed by a tiny spiral staircase, and the window opposite allows for stargazing at night. Breakfast has a beautiful view over the city, though the meal itself is modest but satisfying. Tip: if you're struggling with altitude, choose a ground-floor room—stairs are tough when acclimatizing.”
8.5Verified guest“The location is great, in an elegant neighborhood very close to Plaza de Armas. I enjoyed the old-fashioned style, and especially the hotel's restaurant service and food—I think it's excellent.”
