Top Cusco Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Cusco

Hilton Garden Inn Cusco

10/10 Excellent
"One of the best Hilton properties we have stayed: well maintained with very kind and caring staff. We ordered in-room dining on two occasions and the food was simply outstanding and the service thoughtful and timely. The breakfast buffet spread was eclectic and delectable and again made extra special by some of the kindest staff. We stayed at 7 different hotels during our 3 week trip across South America and this one was clearly the best. The location is of course outstanding , set in a picturesque backdrop of mountains with a beautiful courtyard where you can sit and relax while sipping on coffee or even better, the local drink Chicha morada. We arrived at Cusco after a series of overnight delays and flight diversions which left us totally sapped. This hotel gave us exactly what we needed: a calm, welcoming and relaxing place to rest, recharge and rejuvenate and get ourselves acclimated to high altitude. What also stood out to me is how well the hotel staff treated us with kindness and respect. I will give this hotel 10 out of 5 stars if I can !"
