The location to the town was perfect. No transportation needed since everything is in walking distance. I suggest a room with a view, you won’t be disappointed. My only complaint there is no wash cloth for your body, and you need two hand towels not one.

The beautiful view of the ruins right outside the balcony and the river rushing below as well as the walkability and proximity of everything. Great location, quiet hotel. Perfect stay!

Great place in an excellent location in Ollantaytambo. Lovely environment, nice, clean rooms. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this hotel whether you are visiting Macchu Picchu, or just visiting the town.

This is a very quaint hotel in the heart of the small town of ollantaytambo. Check in was good. Room is adequate and the bathroom is great. Great shower and water pressure. We had a great view. It has lots of sitting areas that are quaint and comfortable. We were told breakfast was until 9:00am. We thought we would skip it since we hiked a lot the day before. At 9:05 we were called letting us know that they were waiting for us to serve us breakfast. It was a full service as if we were at a restaurant Made our eggs and coffee to order. There was fruit salad, breads, cheese and cild cuts I was very impressed with this. This small detail made my whole stay better. Peruvian people are so friendly and hard working. I would absolutely recommend.

I came at this hotel and there was no electricity. The image on Expedia of the hotel were misleading. It is a photoshop of the river at couple hundred meters with the restaurant in front of the hotel. The hotel itself is not nice at all. When I came, there was no electricity, they were running on the battery which later stop working. There is no desk in the room, even if they seem to clean, this is so old and ugly that the rooms seems dirty. Do not expect more than a cheap motel for the price of an hotel. The breakfast they gave us was pretty bad. Internet is super slow. Towels are very old. They should invest in this place. I do understand we are in Ollantaytambo, Peru, but still, when they charge almost the price of an hotel in US, you expect something much more.

The location was great. The hotel would not open or serve anything before 7am, which was a miss when you wake up early to reach Machu Picchu. No bar or restaurant, no water in the room. Some services could definitely be improved, but overall it was a great pick.

Highly recommend this hotel Carlos who I believe is the manager is so welcoming and nice. Really makes you feel at home. Breakfast was great, the room was nice and spacious and it’s in a great location. Everything you need is within walking distance. Honestly this was my favorite hotel through my whole Peru vacation and we stayed in 6 different places. I would definitely come and recommend to all my friends and family the service alone makes it a 5 star for me nothing beats that welcoming feeling. Thank you Carlos and the boys I can’t remember their name you are all amazing.

Had an amazing stay at the Sol Ollantay. Beautiful large room overlooking the river, and Derek the manager was always helpful and friendly - from recommending local restaurants to arranging a car to drive us around, he was always around to take care of anything we needed. Can't recommend staying here highly enough.

The worst experience I ever had. Service was bad. Only one perdón running the entire property. Derek answer the phone, cooks, he does housekeeping. The don't have parking on premises. I ran out of water in the middle of the shower. He tried to gent into the room to check what was happening. Bad bad bad.

The hotel i booked was closed with a sign directing us to Sol Natural. The second hotel was padalocked shut and no one answered the bell. The phone number on the website was disconnected. Went to neighboring hotel and after 15 minutes of trying the they got someone to come open the gate. We were the only guests the 2 nights we stayed. Beautiful hotel but no one around to service it. The pandemic definitely hurt this town.

Lovely property in a great area of Ollanta! Great proximity to shops, restaurants, cafes and ruins. We had a view of the famous ruins straight from our bedroom window, it was heavenly. My only suggestion is don't book drivers/excursions from the hotel reception - it was very overpriced and the driver didn't even know where he was going so we were lost most of the time.

Unfortunately, when we arrived, this hotel was closed for construction. We were redirected to a sister hotel close by. It was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Wifi was mediocre and there is no room safe. Both items are important. That is why I dropped one star

Fiquei surpresa com a qualidade da hospedagem
O hotel fica a 1 quadra da praça principal onde estão os restaurantes, lojas e a entrada para a parte Inka da cidade. O hotel está em uma rua muito movimentada - transito de veículos - e fica em frente a uma para de tuk tuk que te levam a estação de trem. Custa 2 soles mas como a pessoa do hotel que nos levou ficou por 5 soles. A cultura do local é essa: sempre ganhar em cima do turista, então negocie sempre. Você pode optar em descer a rua até a estação de trem - uns 7 minutos. O quarto em que fiquei hospedada era enorme com varanda para o rio - como está na foto. Eu adorei mas algumas pessoas podem se incomodar com o som do rio. Tinha uma vista maravilhosa das escadarias de Ollataytambo - incrível! A cama king side era confortável com lençois brancos e bons travesseiros. A televisão não estava funcionando a informação que recebi é que estava em manutenção. O chuveiro com ótima pressão e agua quente. tinha kit de shampoo, sabonete e papel higienico. Toalhas brancas macias. O café da manhã estilo buffet com sala de frutas, abacate, paes quentes, yogurtes e queijos.

Dragged luggage in the rain to the hotel only to find a notice on the door that says go to this other hotel instead. Called the number in anger, yet the person handled with grace and came to pick us up. The other hotel is botanical and sparkling clean, with comparable amenities minus the view. The staff were very apologetic and helpful. Initially there was no hot water but they resolved it briefly. Breakfast was good. They also helped with luggage storage and local tips. Overall ended up a positive experience. Just wished they could have notified us of the address change ahead of time.

We enjoyed this hotel
In this hotel our room was big enough, we had plenty of hot water, the room was very clean and the service exelent. There is also central heating that you can use in the case the weather is cold. At the reception they even speak english. The only that didn’t work perfectly was the service at breakfast. Breakfast itself was very good for my point of you, but you had to ask for cups, forks, knives etc, those were not allways available.
