We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were great and it was in a nice area. We stored our bags here while we did a 4 day trek as well and they took good care of our things including my friends insulin which they kept in the fridge for us. Comfortable beds, good breakfast, walking to lots of restaurant options. A little bit of noise because of its closeness to the airport.

Really enjoyed the stay here. Staff were great, comfortable beds, safe area with lots of restaurants in walking distance. Only a short cab to the main plaza. They stored our bags for the 4 day trek we did and everything was safe, including my friends insulin which they kept in the fridge for us. A little noise because of the airport being so close.

This was a nice property, especially for the price. Nice area of the city and easy to get a taxi to the city center. Expedia says airport shuttle is included but just know it is not free, but is inexpensive (30sols or about 10us dollars). The staff were very helpful in getting the taxi set up how we.

The room was great and very close to the airport. However the service was poor. It took 2 e mails and several days to respond to a request I sent to book an airport transfer. When we arrived it had not been booked. Worse still the food we ordered was awful. Dry, recooked chips… and it took 45 minutes to arrive despite us being the only customers. The staff were rude, and more interested in their puppy than serving us. The puppy pooed on the floor of the restaurant.

The hotel wasn’t close to the city center rather in a residential area, hence more quiet. The room was clean, bed comfortable. The only negative I can see is a tub in the middle of the room. It was weird.

Easy location from the airport. Clean and modern rooms. We had two different rooms: In one room the mattress was rock hard and in the other room is was so soft you sunk right into it. Would like to see better mattresses used.

There are few restaurants within walking distance and they all close by 10pm so don't arrive late. The parking garage is horrible. There are very few spaces and all are designed for small vehicles. By allowing larger vehicles to park, fewer cars fit.
The room was very nice and the amenities were as well.

The property was situated in a nice quiet area, a bit out from the center but was good. What i did not like was people who did not care about making noise all hours of the night. I know its not yoyr fault but,you can ask the customers to respect others in the hotel and not to make noise.

Stayed in this hotel mid June, temperature was 42-46 and no heaters were available. Our room was super cold. You could also hear Noise throughout the whole night from construction going on in the building and elevator. The staff were not too friendly and could use some training. Overall you get what you pay for so I will definitely invest on a different hotel next time .

The property was a great selection for the price. The room looked exactly as advertised. The only problem with check-in was my reservation through Expedia was not being found when arrived. It was a little noisy having a room by the street. Barking dogs and passing cars but not bad enough to not be able to sleep. The staff are very welcoming and friendly but DO NOT speak English. The breakfast is very slim to none with options. Be prepared to be hungry shortly after breakfast. Easy transportation out, in, to and from. It's an 18 min drive from the historic center and maybe 10-12 from the airport. All in all, I would stay again if I had too.

The hotel is set in a residential area. It is approximately a 15 to 20 minute ride to the downtown Square of Cusco. Upon check-in, the girl behind the desk was very helpful. There was no recommendations or any information given about the area in which we were staying. We were given an average room facing the front. The window opened, which was quite nice to allow fresh air in. The room had a king size bed, which was basically two twins pushed together. The room did not have a hairdryer or iron or ironing board. The room did have a very large bathtub. However, if you are traveling with someone that you do not wish them to view you naked, the set up is not ideal. The room did not have a secondary lock, nor did it have a deadbolt.. the room did not have a do not disturb sign and housekeeping came into the room several times once While I was completely naked laying in bed. if you are a light sleeper at the top of the entry door, there is a frosted glass that illuminates every time someone walks down the hallway. Also across the street you’ll notice all hours of the night barking dogs. The hotel does offer hot tea and coco tea however, you constantly have to remind the front desk to refill the hot water as it is not on a set schedule. Every morning from 6 am to 9 am there will be a very modest breakfast offered on the first floor. Not recommended for international travelers. Spend more money and be downtown.
