The place was okay. Personally, I would pay a bit more for better service and help... especially if you do not speak much Spanish and need more guidance the Cusco / Sacred Valley area. We just returned from spending 3 nights there. The first 2 nights were in Room # 19... the shower was very finicky and trickled for the... more

I chose Marani in large part because of the reviews here and also because it is significantly less expensive than comparable hostales (bed and breakfasts) in Cusco. I found both things to be true and was satisfied with my stay. Marani has the added bonus of being one of the quieter places to stay in Cusco. That being said, you... more

I must say, I expected to be blown away by the Hostal Marani and we just weren't. The first night we arrived, the hostal put us in a double and a single, not the triple we requested. Our second and third nights we were moved to a triple. I understand overbookings happen, but we were really looking forward to staying... more

This place deserves all the praise that has been given to it and is amazing value for money. It is located above the Plaza de Armas just off San Blas plaza down a street too narrow for anything bigger than a car to go down which keeps its location quiet. Once through the gate you are into a delightful courtyard... more

My family and I stayed two days late June ,and three more days after returning from Machu Pichu. Room 24 was great for the 4 of us. Great service, staff is very friendly and helpful, safe storage room to keep your luggage when gone. The patio is nice for breakfast sunny days, everything clean and best of all.... CHEAP! If... more

We came back from Marani a week ago. I loved the setting. Very unassuming but very clean, friendly staff, and very intelligently run. It was extremely affordable. We ended up paying less than 40 USD per night. Breakfasts were modest but good and you could order extra (eggs, etc.) for an extra dollar. What I specifically liked was extremely clean... more

This was an excellent place to stay in Cusco and it is safe. It is in the San Blas area and only a few minutes walk to the plaza de armas. The staff are very friendly and rooms are nice and clean. If we are ever back in Cusco again we would definitely stay here. more

I was there in August 2006 for many days. The hostal was very very nice, really good value for money. Very good service and very good location, near good restaurants and with pretty views over the town, nice and comfortable coffe bar. It is useless I go on listing tha "+": indeed it was all near to perfection. I think... more

My husband and I spent three nights at the Marani - two before the Inca Trail trek and one upon our return. We chose this hostal because of its social conscience - and we were thoroughly impressed. A driver met us at the airport and provided running commentary on the drive to the hostal. Arriving and checking in was so... more
