Pros - clean boutique hotel with friendly staff. WiFi was pretty decent and the consistent hot water (something you shouldn’t take for granted in Peru) was a major plus. Cons - Cusco sits 11, 152 feet above sea level. One has to get acclimated to the altitude (for which they do provide coca tea), but one shouldn’t have to struggle with staying warm in a hotel. “HEAT” is only provided from 7 pm to 7 am (which, to be fair, is standard for Cusco) but even when the heat is on, it’s insufficient. You have to remain under heavy quilts if you don’t wanna freeze out. There is no mention of heat limits when I booked this on Expedia. Therefore, imagine the level of shock when I was told upon check in. Also, the surrounding streets are very narrow, with room for only 1 person or car at a time. You have to consistently stop to let vehicles go by and it gets annoying quick. Having said that, there are many dining options within a short distance. Overall, the experience was decent. Would I stay here again? Not unless real, sufficient heat was provided round the clock. To me, that’s a deal breaker.

GREAT place - close to town, heating, free tea
One of the places I stayed in Peru - the only one with heating in the rooms, nice colonial style, breakfast was pretty good (also one of the only ones with avocado for breakfast for ex), the only one I stayed with free coca tea, tea or filtered water for any guest (can save you some money!), super friendly staff! I’d stay there again any time I came back to Cusco! Too bad it was fully booked for the other days.

This hotel was perfect for a stay in Peru. The vibe was authentic to the locals with a nice little view. Very cute hotel. It was clean and the breakfast was good. It was convenient enough from plaza de armas and other little market areas. There is a 24/7 front desk attendant and the doors are always secure. I would recommend this hotel if staying in Cusco.
