This was a breath of fresh air in disorganised and unperfect Peru. The owners were quick at replying to my reservation and query emails, in 4 languages! I had booked two rooms: Matteo for me and my 2 friends and another double, Nguyen, for my parents. The hotel picked us up at the airport at just a few hours interval, like planned.

The inside of the place is colourful, warm and welcoming, with brightly painted walls and a quaint moroccan style sitting corner and an open fire chimney in the reception / common area. The rooms were exactly like the photos and descriptions of the website, with soap and towels provided.

The next morning, us youngsters left at 6am for Aguas Calientes, with the packed breakfasts I had asked for the night before (these included a couple of mini-cupcakes, a fruit juice, a pack of Club Social crackers and a granola bar).

The beds were very comfy, with plenty (8!) layers of covers, hot water in the shower, free internet (from 8.30am to 9.30pm (to avoid disturbing guests' rest), breakfast in the hotel's restaurant with homemade biscuits, bread, cheese, ham, jam, coffee, tea and juice.

The view from the cosy roof terrace has a marvellous view of the Plaza de Armas. The whole hotel as a warm family atmosphere and the staff is friendly and the the location is perfect. I really loved it and so did my firends and parents. We wouldn't hesitate to come back to fabulous Piccola Locanda.

Absolutely brilliant place to stay, I highly recommend it to any traveller on any type of trip. Great, friendly staff, perfect location with amazing views of classic Cusco. Beautiful terrace style building with gorgeous interior furnishings. I can’t say enough nice things about this place. Great breakfast!!! I have visited 6 continents and over 30 countries, and this is one of the nicest places I’ve stayed in. Extremely cheap too!!! Thank you Piccola Locanda for a great time.

Although the Piccola Locanda is classed as a hostel, I would have to disagree – as I've never stayed in such a 'nice' hostel before!
Me and my partner stayed there for a total of four nights in the Luna room which has a double bed and private balcony with amazing views of Cusco.
It was located only 5 minutes walk (although be warned there are a lot of steps) from the Plaza de Armas with its abundance of cafes, bars and restaurants.
Breakfast was included, plus free internet and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

First,I'd booked few months in advance and they pushed me in some kind of cinderilla room because huge group just shown up a night befor I checked in and the hotel gave the up-stair-room for them(those are all their best). Second,when I asked for the flight from Cusco to Juliaca ( Lake Titikaka area),some nice girl who speaks English very well was rolling her eyes while I was being told that there is no flight flying there and fought me to buy her bus ticket.." This is "Peru" ok?!! Wrong.!! Lan Peru fly there every day. Anyway,breakfast is really good in their catagories. So So Specify room and do not trust their travel offer.

From the moment we entered, we felt safe and enjoyed friendly service and great rooms. This was our base for two weeks as we travelled to MachuPicchu and Sacred Valley. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Breakfast is plentyful. Free internet. Interesting travellers with whom to share stories. Good laundry. Packed lunches for the day.

  • Liked — The feeling of security and the view of Cusco, free internet and laundry
  • Disliked — All those stairs.
  • Tips/Secrets: — Don't walk up the stairs. Take a cab to Church of San Christobal and walk down a 15 steps.
