    The hotel was spotlessly clean and the location was favourable close to everything. Everything was beautiful, modern and spotless room with view on the patio. Had central heating and television, and several times we got eggs, bread, bacon, cheese, and potato for breakfast. Location: the venue was very close to the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco. It was as expected, had a perfect stay for 2 nights.

    My recent stay at a boutique hotel in Cusco was fantastic! From the moment I checked in, the staff was attentive and polite. They even offered me a complimentary fruit basket and chocolates. The room was spacious and had everything I needed. The hotel is located in a central area, close to all the attractions. I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend this hotel.

    This hotel is located near the square, but it's surprisingly quiet. The special decoration and beautiful courtyard add to its charm. The daily music show is a sweet touch. The staff goes above and beyond to help, even arranging to send back a forgotten cellphone to Puno at their expense. As a light sleeper, I appreciated the peacefulness of this place.

    Felt so at home, nothing was too much trouble.

The location near the historic center of Cusco was a huge plus for me, as I wanted to immerse myself in the local culture.

The room amenities were fantastic, including an in-room safe, free toiletries, and a flat-screen TV. The dining options were also great, with a restaurant and bar/lounge area available. The breakfast spread was delicious, offering a wide variety of options to satisfy any palate.

    I would highly recommend this hotel to any friends looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay in Cusco.

    We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The hotel is conveniently located close to the main square and within walking distance of the main town center and tourist attractions. The staff was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic, and the hotel facilities were top-notch, including a working fireplace in our room, a huge bathtub for two, and great jazz musicians playing every night. The hotel was spotless and had a spa-like shower.

    Can't fault the property in any way.

    During my Christmas stay, the hotel offered complementary live music and tasty drinks. The hotel has a great central location and is perfect for exploring all the nearby attractions. The rooms had comfortable beds and a relaxing atmosphere, which made it easy to acclimatize to the altitude.

    The breakfast service was poor with often having to ask for basic items like cutlery. The lighting in the rooms was very gloomy and did not make the room feel welcoming.
