Very clean and well maintained property within walking distance of the town square. We were able to easily walk to Saqsaywaman and many other nearby attractions. We booked the Salkantay trek, and the meeting point was conveniently just around the corner. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and breakfast was excellent,they even prepared a breakfast to take with us on the day of our trek. I would definitely stay here again!

Quaint hotel within walking distance of everything. We stayed three days in Cusco before our trek and were able to walk to all the sights from here. It is nestled on a lovely side street and has a beautiful courtyard, spacious rooms, and a delicious breakfast. The hotel was very clean, and the staff was constantly cleaning, even washing and brushing the courtyard during our stay. The staff was very helpful and accommodating, holding our luggage until we returned from the trek. There are many fabulous restaurants and shops nearby. The hotel lobby provided large water bottles for us to fill our Camelbaks before the long trek. We were located less than a block from the Salkantay Trek meeting center, which made pick up very convenient early in the morning.

It is at the heart of Plaza del Armas where you can pretty much walk to most of the sites to see. And it's reasonably cheap so i can understand the simple breakfast, the leaky shower, the lack of amenities like toothbrush, and such. But, i will NOT put up with the lack of enough heat. They automatically turn on the heater at night but it is not cranked up enough so you're still cold day AND night. The shower has hot water but it does not last long. You have to sleep with your whole body under the sheets to survive the night. I was freezing my entire stay there and when i asked for help, the guy just said sorry... our heater is automatic. So no. If you're not used to the cold, i do not recommend this place at all.
