This was an incredible place to stay in Cusco, I loved every part of this hotel! The atmosphere and aesthetic is beautiful, the colorful paintings everywhere really brighten the hotel. The breakfast is exceptional, particularly compared to other experiences in Peru. Finally, the hotel is conveniently located just a few blocks from the plaza and San blas.

Beautiful mountain views from the hotel room balcony. Front desk and security staff were very kind and helpful. There was quite a bit of noise from construction and celebrations on the plaza del armas. But would definitely recommend this adorable and colorful place.

One of the most unique hotels I've ever stayed in. The art in every room and outside at the property is amazing. Very unique and nothing like I have ever seen. Staff was informative and helpful. For the price you will not find a better hotel in Cusco

Beautiful decor and close to main square
Unfortunately, I was suffering from altitude sickness while staying here, but the staff did everything they could to make me more comfortable. The hotel is beautifully decorated. Word to the wise though: don't think you're going to have an easy time lugging heavy bags up the two or three sreep blocks to access the hotel from town.

We had a great stay in Cusco. This hotel was in walking distance to a lot and when we did need a taxi, they were very helpful in arranging that for us.

Loved the beautiful blue doors and painted flowers everywhere. The bed was amazingly comfy and we had a great view of the city. The breakfast, included in the stay, was delicious with lots of variety. The wifi was fairly weak due to the heavy stone walls and the property is up a steep cobbled side street so be prepared to walk (9 out of 10 taxis we asked refused the ride because the street is one-way and too steep).

I would give this hotel an excellent review on everything, but the location turned out to be very challenging. It is located on a very narrow street and no taxis wanted to go there (and most didn't even know where it was). If we were lucky to find a taxi willing to take us there, the taxi would have to drop us off at the base of the hill where the hotel is located because the street is so narrow, no vehicle could go thru and it was just awful carrying our luggage. The staff went above and beyond to help us, but we would not recommend the place if you are not a hiker that enjoys going up hill on very challenging roads. Kudos to Macdeli from the lunch room and Adrianita from reception, they were just the most friendly ever.

The building and rooms are so cute and lovely! The staff were super helpful and positive; my only negative is that, because it's a little, boutique place in a refurbished colonial manor, the restaurant/cafe is quite small and limited. There's lots of great places nearby, though.

Lovely and cozy place the only thing was the heater that wasn’t working in our room but after we told them they gave us an electric one to put in the room so everything was fine then. I really recommend it and we would come back for sure.

Excellent hotel in Cusco. My 2-year old girl loves the complementary chocolates served in small handmade baskets. The location is on the hill and the view is great. The only problem is that it might not be a wheelchair/stroller friendly hotel since the street is pretty steep. Spacious room, great staffs, great food, and free oxygen make this hotel one of the greatest choices in Cusco.
