This is a really lovely family-run hotel that is mid-range and while it isn't without it's problems (spotty hot water at times, poor lighting in the bathrooms in the older portion of the hotel), the owners are extremely responsive and make all efforts to make your stay comfortable. (spotty hot water is a problem all over Cuzco, not just this... More

I stayed in 3 different rooms in this hotel. None of them gave me consistent hot water. Either freezing, scalding, or fluctuating somewhere between without warning. I went from smallest, small to huge room. Ask for a hair dryer from the front desk. They are extremely friendly and helpful. Its a decent little hotel. Love the courtyard area! And the... More

I was here as part of a tour. Mixed feelings about this place. We were in room 202. Don't get this room. It was on the street side and VERY noisy. Like you were standing on the street trying to sleep noisy. The heater in the room was inadequate. They gave a heater you might find under someone's desk for... More

We were booked in here as part of our tour. Having already been to Ecuador, the Galapagos and Lima where we had super accommodation we were looking forward to spending 3 nights in Cusco but when we arrived we were given a room with hairs all over the bathroom, crap all over the mats and a window that was about...

I stayed here at the beginning and end of a recent trip to Peru. I found the hotel very comfortable, we had a lovely large twin bedroom with very comfy double beds and an ensuite bathroom. Breakfasts were amazing, and although it could get quite busy in the dining area at times, all ran smoothly. Staff were very friendly, professional... More

I stayed at this hotel with a tour group, and I had a lovely room. However, some others in the group were not as happy with their accommodations. When they complained, their rooms were upgraded, when possible. The service was excellent: great breakfast, free computer and WiFi access, and the staff really did their very best to be helpful. They... More

I stayed here as part of a Gap Adventures Tour (Quest of the Gods). It was in a great location and rooms were clean. Room size really varied but staff are willing to try to accomodate you. The bathroom was of an average hygiene standard and the shower doors didn't work so the floor was wet a lot. Rooms were... More

We stayed at the Tupac during a visit to Machu Picchu. The hotel is full of character in an interesting and historic building in the centre of the city. The rooms are large with stone floors that can feel cold at night as there are few mats. The hotel is clean and the beds are comfortable. The staff tried hard... More

We stayed i n this hotel on two separate occasions, before and after a trip to the Sacred Valley. The rooms are arranged around two "courtyards" and we found both to be clean and comfortable. The location is great - in the old town just a few minutes walk to the main square and a proliferation of restaurants and gift... More
