In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Helpful, caring staff — Guests repeatedly mention the team going out of their way – storing luggage for a Machu Picchu hike, helping with travel plans, and recommending local restaurants.
  • Location near the historic centre — Set in a quiet, residential area, the hotel is still within walking distance of the main square and local restaurants, with a supermarket close by.
  • Good breakfast with local options — The morning spread includes fresh fruit, local bread, baked goods, and dishes that appeal to a range of tastes.
  • Clean, functional rooms — Several guests found their rooms spotless and well-equipped, with some noting new furnishings, king-size beds, and TVs.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms can be basic — The hotel is a 2-star property, and while rooms are clean, they may not offer extra touches beyond the essentials like a TV and private bath.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this won't be the place – the policy is clearly no pets on site.
  • Check-out is early — Check-out runs from 04:00 to 10:00, which means a leisurely morning isn't really possible – though the 24-hour front desk can help with onward plans.
  • Airport is a distance away — The hotel sits about 10 km from the airport, so you'll need to factor in transfer time – a paid shuttle is available.

“The hotel was spotless, the facilities were excellent, and the location just off the centre of Cusco felt very safe. I appreciated being in the historic heart of town, with plenty of restaurants nearby – El Cevillano was only five minutes on foot.”

“Clean room, friendly staff, and handy for restaurants and a supermarket.”

8.3Verified guest

“A great budget hotel in a comfortable, quiet residential area. Breakfast had something for everyone, including local dishes and baked goods. Rooms were a nice size with a great view and comfortable couches, and the staff were particularly helpful. It's close to the tourist sights, the mountain, and the historic centre – a bit further than some comparable hotels, but still walkable. Check-in was simple and the service was excellent.”

“The rooms are practical and brand new, with a king-size bed, TV, and private bathroom.”
