A great place to stay with a nice garden and great views from the balcony. Staff were nice and helpful. Special thanks to the kitchen staff - very friendly and considerate. Love the breakfast. Downside could be room condition and cleanliness. But overall it was a good stay.

Rooms were simple but had a nice design. The common area gardens were lovely. Comfortable beds and linens. Breakfast was fresh and had high quality ingredients. Staff was friendly. As others said, bathrooms were just ok, a bit musty, and could use a refresh and renovation to match the better quality of the rooms and overall hotel itself. I booked ahead of time and got a good price and value.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Cusco! Beautiful place and lovely helpful staff! Very walkable distance to the main square but just far enough away to be a quieter area. Also a nice walk/hike from the hotel to the ruins!

We stayed there for 2 nights. Breakfast was good and fresh. The hotel is located on a very busy street. It was noisy during the day and night. If you are light sleeper, i wouldn't recommend this place. The bathroom does not have a vent. And they only provide a shampoo/body wash, no hair conditioner. The room does not have a wall heater. They only provide a portable heater for the room which was not enough to heat the room at night. I dont think this place was worth the money. Also the sign at the front of the hotel showing it is a hostal

This hotel was beautifully restored and maintained. It is in a great location - close to the city's plaza - which makes walking around and exploring Cusco great. There is also a full jug of clean water in the lobby at any time, which allows for easy drinking. The staff was accommodating and kind, and allowed us to store our bags during the Incan trail.
