"Everyone is kind and helpful. It is in a central area and makes walking easy. The breakfast was good The only downfall is the noise in the building. If you are a light sleeper.

Cusco is a wonderful city with a great city square.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Vibrantly colorful city that's fun to explore - great place to acclimatize before treks to higher altitude.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Very cultural city with brick roads and many open parks with lots of benches

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

I am here at this hotel since March 17 to today due to Peru lockdown. The hotel provides great support, service, and food. All staffs are very nice and helpful. I would have enjoyed more if there will be different situations.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

The only thing I didn’t like was constantly being asked if I wanted a massage, or to buy trinkets — sometimes the same person within 5 minutes. It was annoying.
