“Great Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 25, 2013 NEW

We are looking for a place to stay after a day at MP. Can't get any closer than right on train platform. Very basic accommodation but clean and with plenty of hot water. We did not hear the train at all. May be we are too tired after MP. The staff is very helpful. We left our luggage here on... More

“Great Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 24, 2013 NEW

Very convenient location, right by the train. We were worried that it would be noisy but it wasn't at all. The grounds were beautiful and peaceful. It was a nice stop ion our way to Machu Picchu. They had everything we needed for our trip, we were even able to buy box lunches for the train ride.

“Charming hotel with great food and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 18, 2013

We had a lovely 3 night stay in Ollantaytambo. Natalia and Sergio at the front desk were very responsive to email and just as friendly and kind in person. The food at the restaurant was really good and I also highly recommend trying the Pachamanca lunch on their farm. If you like trains, you should get a room overlooking the... More

“Quiet escape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 17, 2013

Out of all the places we stayed while in Peru, this was one of my favorites. We arrived in Ollantaytambo after a long day of sight seeing through the sacred valley, and were welcomed into El Albergue by smiling staff. At first, it seems a little strange that the hotel is literally on the platform for the train (and a... More

“Shangri-la!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 13, 2013

We had a 3 night stay in Ollantay as a base for our trip to MP on our second day. We loved El Albergue! We had a room overlooking the rail line with a nice rear verandah. We were not troubled by any noise but enjoyed the excitement of the location. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was... More

“Great Location to bypass Cusco”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 11, 2013

This hotel is right on the train platform in the sacred valley. If you want to miss the altitude at Cusco (10,800') on the way to Machu Picchu, you can stay here at a more reasonable elevation of 9,200'. Believe me, it makes all the difference in the world if you are coming from sea level! Vans make the trip... More

“Convenient location in Ollantaytambo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2013 via mobile

Hostel is located at train station. Very comfortable beds, big rooms with charm. The towels were big and plush. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had a party of 10 that ate at the restaurant and everyone loved it . This was a great value and would recommend. It can be noisy, so bring a set of earplugs....

“Lovely stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 7, 2013 via mobile

An unsual location right on the train platform shouldn't deter you from staying here. The rooms are reasonable size, clean and tidy. Showers can go from hot to cold without notice, which seems typical for South America. Breakfast is average, however dinner was outstanding. Staff are polite and helpful. All in all a good family hotel. Would stay there again.

“Perfect Stay in the Sacred Valley”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 6, 2013

This beautiful B&B in the quaint "Living Inca City" of Ollantaytambo proved to be the perfect headquarters for our Sacred Valley adventures. We stayed three nights in Room 16 prior to our MP visit and one night on our way back from MP in Room 11. Location- Perfect spot for exploring Ollantaytambo, which is really fun to explore on your...

“Beautiful Hotel - Warm and Friendly People”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 5, 2013

We recently stayed at the El Albergue Hotel on a trip to see MP and the Sacred Valley. The hotel was beautiful and we loved our room. We had an upstairs room at the back of the property (Number 16) that was large, very comfortable and spotlessly clean! The staff went WAY out of their way to be sure that... More
