8/10 Very good

I loved the hotel and it was in a great place. It was cute and quaint. My only criticisms are that the wifi didn’t work in the room, the shower was not hot enough, and I think it was much more expensive than it should have been. The restaurant and reception staff were lovely

I loved staying at this hotel! The staff were so friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and cozy, the bathrooms very modern! I loved the atmosphere of the hotel overall, a quiet garden oasis. The breakfast was included and really fresh, tasty options every morning. The kitchen staff were so sweet and made it an enjoyable start to our day exploring Cusco. Would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in the city ☺️

Verified review

4/10 Fair

The staff were very nice. However, the sheets and towels although looked washed but they were spotted. I didn’t like that. The room was very cold and it only had a small movable heater. Breakfast was good. It was very close to the stadium and we were able to hear all the screaming. So it wasn’t quite.

Great little hotel! The breakfast was perfect! Upstairs neighbors were loud and the hotel is a little ways away from everything which requieres a lot of walking to everything but on the upside less noisy than the center.
