Close to Plaza de Armas
This is a great value place to stay. The host was excellent and spoke good English. You could walk to Plaza de Armas in minutes and Sacsayhuaman was only about a half hour out. I was able to get picked up from the hotel for all the guided tours as well. They do only take cash, but it can be made in USD or Sols so that’s a convenience if you forget to go by a money exchange before checking in. If you want to save money on hotel expenses, give this one a look that is close to most everything in the city!

Hotel is clean, well functional and well located. Hot water anytime for good shower. Not far from central square but quiet at nighttime for good sleep. Owner Martin speaks good English. He was extremely attentive and super helpful to guest. He arranged taxi and several tours for us also helped with many other things that saved us money and time. Perfect place to stay in Cusco!

Martin (in the morning) and Rosa (in the evening) were very helpful and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble, from early breakfast to booking tours and taxis. I stayed here twice and each room was spacious and comfortable. It is a 15 min walk from the main square and Av El Sol has atms, interbank (for Machu Picchu bus ticket) and the main office to purchase tourist tickets for Sacred Valley sights
