Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No help from the staff, no lights on the hallway (dark to walking), no fan in the restroom, no windows for outside. They give us 2 single beds instead of king size bed ( my husband and I have to sleep separate, we don’t like it) room was cold, only small portable heater was provided. Buffet breakfast was not good, very little food almost nothing. Not happy with our stay

Would not stay here

Very loud. Extremely cold room, heater didn’t work, no extra blankets or pillows available. No elevator. Light fixture had shattered and bulb was flickering dangerously. No shampoo or soap. Desk staff not very helpful. Nobody was available when we wanted to check out at 6:15 am, the main door was locked and gated, so we had to let ourselves out of a side door with an unlocked dead bolt hanging off it and hoped for the best. The only positive thing this place was the location. Hotels.com might want to reconsider including this in its listings.

Horrible hotels.com

They did not give me a room . They said it’s hotels.com fault. I have it in writing from them. It’ was weather and had to struggle for 2-3 hours as your customer care when contacted were not of help . Your customer care number promised to get back in 4 minutes. After waiting for 30 minutes I tried to call again hotels.com but automated machine informed me that your services are closed. The weather in Cusco was very bad and with all luggage I had to struggle for few hours before a local agency found a room in a very expensive hotel. Your this performance gave a lot of mental, physical and monatory torture

Great location but basic hostal type accommodation

Very disappointing accomodations in a great location. Rooms heated with small space heaters that do not work well. Rooms small and basic, no drawers to unpack, no hot water (warm at best). Front desk never relayed messages left from tour companies regarding pick up times.. Anyone who thinks this is more than a 2 star property must think a motel 6 is a luxury 5 star property..

Great location

Hotel was in a great location. Rooms were small but nice, just very cold. We stayed there on two separate occasions and the first room had no heater. The second room was much nicer and had a small heater.. Maybe because we were return customer? Included breakfast was good. Staff helpful for the most part. Would stay there again!

Comfortable with an Excellent Location

Booked 3 nights & again for 1 after our trek to Machu Picchu. Good basic rooms that met all our needs. Price was excellent for the location - 5 min walk to Plaza de Armas, convenience store & laundry just next door & one of the best restaurants (Cicciolina) in Cuzco just around the corner. Maria at the front desk was extremely helpful & immediately resolved any issues. Breakfast was a basic buffet with a good quantity of selections. Did have hot water - just had to let it run for a while! Definitely would book this hotel again.

Hotel was not what I expected.

The hotel was not reflected well in their ad. Room was small, bathroom smaller. The day we were to go to Machu Pichu, we had to wake up at 4am. We were surprised with no water. They did get the water back on 20 minutes before leaving. No shower that day! The staff did bring us 2 bottles of water to clean and brush our teeth, however when we checked out, they charged us for the 2 bottles of water? The only thing modern in the hotel is the front glass doors! The staff was very helpful. No I would not recommend, however I guess you get what you pay for. It was cheaper. Location was great...
