Great colonial hotel in a good location. It was close enough to walk to the main square and restaurants but far enough away from them to be quiet. It has a beautiful inner courtyard with a garden. The balcony was nice for sitting to enjoy the view of the City. The room was quiet and the bed was comfortable. They provided a heater since it was a little cold at night. The water in the shower took a minute to get hot but it was nice pressure and hot. The breakfast was amazing - fresh hot food with fruit/coffee/ tea. We got our clothes laundered through them, which was very helpful but there were other places around the hotel to do this. The staff were amazing and very happy to help with any request. I would stay here again for sure.

Beautiful true gem. It really exceeded my expectations. Location was great, near all the restaurants and a couple of blocks from main square. Authentic 1700’s family hotel with all the charm of a real Cusco historic home. Rooms comfortable, very roomy (we got the family suite). Staff there was very helpful and friendly, big thanks to the nice ladies that run the kitchen during breakfast time and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed their delicious meals. Highly recommended!

Lovely rustic and cozy hotel right in the heart of the city center. The restaurant had excellent food and the staff was all very pleasant.Easily walkable. Close to the train station and airport. My only complaint was the wi-fi signal in the hotel room was poor, though it worked fine in the common areas and restaurant.

We missed our Nov 3 reservation due to flight issues but we had Nov 5 booked and decided to stay another night almost immediately. Staff was very welcoming and the premises feel so relaxing. The cherry on top was the omelette for breakfast and delicious coffee. Wonderful place. Thank you!

I don’t often leave reviews but this is an awesome place to stay if you plan to be out exploring Cusco. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, great breakfast and away from the traffic. Quiet location but only a 5 minute walk to the main square and city centre. Small thing to consider, if you have a lot of luggage or bags on wheels some routes include stairs. Highly recommend. Cheers!

This is a cute accommodation, very authentic and not a cookie cutter. The way it’s set is to disconnect, there is no tv in the room, just a good simple room with a good mattress. Breakfast is great, good cofffee.

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.

The rooms were fabulously clean, comfortable beds, the staff was super friendly, and the courtyard was beautiful. It was a noisy street, but that seemed to be a consistent everywhere in Cusco. Easy walk to the main square. The balcony was a great place to sit and enjoy the view.
