“Great spot right in the center – the place is kept in good shape, cleaned every day, with a free breakfast and hot drinks. The manager went out of his way to help and the staff were full of useful info.”

“We got a lot for what we paid. The rooms were spotless and really comfortable.”

8Verified guest

“Clean and roomy, with a solid common area. Close to the center and a handy base for minivans to Choquequirao. The view is spectacular, the staff friendly, and the rooms comfortable with free hot drinks. Plenty of space in the bar, the team were helpful, and everything felt well run. Hot water, decent Wi-Fi, and extras like oxygen and foosball and ping-pong tables.”

8Verified guest

“The location is ideal – just a few minutes from the heart of Cusco. Clean, comfortable rooms with daily cleaning. Staff are welcoming and ready to help with tips on the area and culture. Breakfast isn't the best but does the job. Hot drinks are available around the clock.”
