Hotel is very conveniently located. Staff are very friendly. They kindly stored our luggage prior to our trip to Matchu Picchu and that was very helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable with basic amenities. Breakfast was good. As a minor suggestion, it would add a great value if hot water kettle and tea options could be provided in the room or in a common location as we noted in other hotels we stayed during our trip. Overall, our stay was very pleasant and we truly enjoyed it! It’s a great place to stay!!

Very safe, interior access via a courtyard. Very friendly staff, clean rooms. Walk to the city square in minutes. They also have a upper terrace where motorcycles can be stored if you are trekking on a bike that's locked up. I would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful oasis
This place was nothing less than an oasis of peacefulness in a chaotic place. After a long day of Machu Picchu adventure (4:30AM to 7pm) we were greeted by the owner to see if we needed anything. The staff and the owner continually went out of the way to make our stay great. Filtered water in the room and bottled water available for purchase at the front desk. Breakfast was very good too!

Great little hotel. Excellent breakfast! Really cool common space and gardens. Luggage storage was perfect for Inca trail. Drop off and pick-up can be challenging on skinny Old Inca streets. 5 minute walk to Central Plaza.

Nice stay in a quiet setting
We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Samanapaq. It was located in a quiet area but only a two minute walk to the main square. Our room had everything we needed and the breakfast was fine. There was a large common area outside of our room where we could relax with more space.
The best part was the kind owner who gave us great restaurant and hiking suggestions and was very helpful in general. We were very satisfied with our experience!

Must be best hotel in Ollantaytambo
Wonderful hotel. Large property right in this busy little town. But it has wall around it enclosing a beautiful property so you don't even feel like you are in town. Yet you walk the door and walk around town and even down to the train station if you like. Excellent breakfast. Fantastic service. Tula Gibaja, one of the Owners, was very helpful in directing us to hikes, sites to visit in the city and surrounding area, and places to go to. We highly recommend this hotel.

Exceptional hotel
I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience at Hotel Samanapaq! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality that made me feel right at home. The lush, tranquil gardens surrounding the property were an oasis of serenity—a perfect escape after exploring the magical streets of Ollantaytambo.
The rooms were immaculately clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, blending modern comforts with traditional charm. The bed was so comfortable that I slept better than I have in years! The complimentary breakfast was a delightful spread of fresh, local ingredients—each bite a delicious start to the day.
The hotel’s location couldn’t be more perfect! It’s just a short walk to the town center, yet it feels tucked away in its own peaceful world. The staff went above and beyond, offering fantastic tips for exploring the area and making sure every detail of my stay was perfect.
If you’re visiting the Sacred Valley, staying at Hotel Samanapaq is an absolute must. It’s not just a hotel; it’s an experience I will cherish forever. I can’t wait to return!

One of our favorite hotels to-date. A MUST stay!
Wow. Hotel Samanapaq is an oasis in Ollantaytambo that I will recommend to anyone!!! Tula and the staff are incredible welcoming, helpful, attentive and warm. They are proud to welcome you to Peru/Ollantaytambo, and it shows. The hotel’s location is ideal - a short <5 minute walk to the center. The breakfast is beautiful and delicious, the hotel decor is stunning and tasteful, rooms are very comfortable (beds too!), and the property is spacious, lush, and beautiful. Our young children loved exploring the premises while we enjoyed our morning coffee. The Tula and staff are willing to help with anything and are well connected throughout the community - from laundry, to taxis, to activities.
HIGHLY recommend … we are so sad to have to leave!

We had an excellent 3 day stay in Samanapaq hotel. It sits on a quiet street, surrounded by a large privet garden, very calm and secure. Room was well equiped and clean, with a comfortable bed. Shower had strong water pressure. Nice breakfast with variety of choices. Very helpful and friendly staff, led by charming Tula, the hotel owner. We booked taxi to meet us in Cusco airport through the hotel. They also arranged a taxi for us to bring us to several tourist sports in Sacred Valley. We highly recommend this place and we stay there when we visit Ollantaytambo again.
