A great place to stay with a nice garden and great views from the balcony. Staff were nice and helpful. Special thanks to the kitchen staff - very friendly and considerate. Love the breakfast. Downside could be room condition and cleanliness. But overall it was a good stay.

Good service, beautiful property. Rooms are freezing cold and the small heater they provide does absolutely nothing. Never been so cold in a hotel before. Not worth the price per room either honestly.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2025

10/10

Rooms were simple but had a nice design. The common area gardens were lovely. Comfortable beds and linens. Breakfast was fresh and had high quality ingredients. Staff was friendly. As others said, bathrooms were just ok, a bit musty, and could use a refresh and renovation to match the better quality of the rooms and overall hotel itself. I booked ahead of time and got a good price and value.

It’s a hostel. Scary showers and the doors don’t really lock.
Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025

6/10

I thought that for the price of the suite, you would at least have wifi and adequate heating. I could not sleep unless the fire was going as it was so cold. I slept with my hoodie and sweats on additionally to multiple blankets I had asked for. There was also lots of noise at night which would wake me up every few hours. It was a very cute hotel and the food was quite good. Service was very kind. It’s about a fifteen minute walk down/up a steep hill to get to restaurants. Overall a very nice hotel if you’re paying a cheaper price, I wouldn’t bother with the suite.

Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025

10/10

The entrance is somewhat underwhelming because of it being in a street with mostly walls and occasional entry doors. Once inside you realize you are in a very old hacienda. Was told it was from the 1680's. The rooms are unlike what you will see in modern hotels. But charming. Also great view of Cusco from the balcony. Only negative is lack of elevators ( but only 2 floors) and lack of outlets near the beds to charge phones etc. Small vegetable/herb garden in the courtyard.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Cusco! Beautiful place and lovely helpful staff! Very walkable distance to the main square but just far enough away to be a quieter area. Also a nice walk/hike from the hotel to the ruins!

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The building and the view are beautiful and the restaurant was very good too. I would recommend to anyone looking for a hotel jn Cusco.
