Beautiful interior/common space. Friendly staff, very close to plaza de armas. Great breakfast.
My shower door was stuck in the track and wouldn’t close, the room was warm. No elevator, just fyi
The place is an old house transformed in to hote just a couple blocks from the plaza de armas so you will have no issues whit Tours transportation.
Rooms are clean an space in general is comfortable.
Stayed here for one-night and was pleasantly surprised. Check-in was a breeze and the gentleman who did so was efficient, knowledgeable, and even walked me to my room.

No water at night
Hotel has great locations. It looks better on the pictures than in reality, but everything is quite ok.
I don’t understand why, but hotel close the water during night time. We arrived after midnight and no shower was possible.
Condition of the bathroom was poor. Tap and toilet have leakage.
Breakfast was so so, not bad not terrible.

Visit to Cuzco Feb 6 to 10 2025
The hotel has excellent location , just a block and a half from the Main Plaza. Unfortunately I encountered some renovation/construction the made it noisy and dusty. Administration stated it will take a couple of weeks. Service was good.
Excellent all-around property. Good room, professional staff, close to the Plaza. They store bags/suitcases for you and have a coca tea station in the lobby. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We had a decent stay, although it was noisy at times at around 4am onwards as we had rooms in the first atrium where people congregated whilst waiting to get picked up for numerous tours. Hot water also took about 10 minutes to arrive, which did not help when needing a quick shower.
Very convenient location, very close to Plaza- You can eat in many places around. Breakfast is simple, but complete.
Rooms in the back can be a bit muggy, while the upper floor ones are nicer. However, you must check that the TV and hot water are working.
I stayed here for 4 nights at the end of the PeruHop bus tour, and i had such a nice stay! Liz at the front desk was so friendly and helpful, she helped me arrange a taxi at 5:30am to the airport when i had to leave and brought my clothes to the laundry, which was such a relief after a long trip! She was so kind and really made me feel welcome. The hotel itself is older and a little rough around the edges, but the rooms were clean and cozy, the breakfast was delicious, the water in the shower was piping hot, and the 24 hour reception was so helpful for early-morning tours and odd checkin/checkout times. The building is also very interesting, with big stone courtyards and multiple balconies. The surrounding area is also very walkable and safe; as a solo female traveler, I never felt unsafe walking to the hotel at night. The main square is a very short easy walk away, same for the local markets and parks. All in all, a great stay!
