I don’t have enough praise for the staff, from the front desk, Tam’i and Betty, to the housekeeping staff. They were friendly, helpful and respectful and responsive to our needs. The room was excellent, lots of room that included a couch. The bathroom was roomy and clean. I only have positive feedback, the nicest hotel we stayed in during our 18 days in Peru.

All of the people on staff were so incredibly friendly and accommodating, the rooms were exceptionally clean, the included breakfast was wonderful, the free airport shuttle was such a great perk. The only downside is the AC was not working in either of our rooms. The air would blow, but never got cold. The temperature never got below 24C/78F. Also, the walk to the main square (Plaza de Armas) was uphill about 10 blocks, so not as convenient as we had hoped.
