Book a hotel near Plaza de Armas, Ollantaytambo

"We stayed seven nights at Tierra Viva and it was the perfect base for exploring the Sacred Valley. The property is beautiful and serene, and the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout. Our spacious room was comfortable, though standard rooms don’t include a fridge. Interestingly, the standard rooms actually seemed nicer than the superior rooms, so don’t feel you need to upgrade. The complimentary à la carte breakfast options were a lovely touch. In the evenings, the hotel lights the fireplace around 19:00 and sells marshmallows to roast, which became a charming nightly ritual. The spa is well equipped with a jacuzzi, steam room, and finnish sauna, though access must be booked in advance and isn’t included. We also loved the touchless water bottle refill station. The road from the main road to the hotel is quite bumpy, so don’t be alarmed. Uber is unreliable in this area, with drivers frequently not showing up. We nearly missed our train to Machu Picchu, but the receptionist saved us by booking a taxi. Tips: ask the hotel to arrange transfers and activities, or use Taxidatum, which is fair priced and trustworthy. For llamas and alpacas, take a taxi to Mountain View Experience for lunch. Tierra Viva is the best value in the region. Highly recommended."

"Great breakfast, friendly staff, comfy bed, hot shower, nice lobby/ dining area. Great location. "

"Walking distance from train station to Aguas Calliente and Machu Picchu. Beautiful location and grounds. Staff very kind and helpful. Would return if ever planning to visit Machu Picchu again."

"We recently stayed at Stardome Hotel to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and genuinely helpful. They made us feel welcome and cared for throughout our entire stay. The views are absolutely breathtaking — truly the kind that stay with you long after you leave. Our room was beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and very comfortable. What touched us most was the wonderful birthday surprise: a cake and a bottle of champagne. Such a thoughtful gesture made the celebration even more meaningful. Thank you for making this day so special. We can’t wait to return! Keep in mind that the closest town is about 15 minutes away by car on a winding mountainous road. It’s better to buy everything you might need (sunscreen, medications, snacks etc.) in advance. You can buy drinks, including wine and hard liquor in the restaurant, but no shops or pharmacy are available at the vicinity. The territory of the hotel may not be vast, but what it offered goes far beyond size. There is a rare serenity here, the kind that quiets your thoughts and allows you to truly rest."

"The rooms were nice and the staff was excellent. They called a taxi for our return to Cusco at a cheap price, it was a very nice taxi as well. The only complaint I have is that a lot of the linens and towels have stains on them. The staff said it was from a hair dye. Overall excellent!"
