Antigua Casona San Blas

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, comfortable bed, great breakfast and friendly staff."

Kantu Hotel

8/10 Good

"Only stayed for 2 nights before our Salkantay trek. The rooms were quite small. We had reserved a room with 2 double beds to have extra space but got a room with only 1 double bed. It was great location and convenient to get to everywhere we wanted to go to in Cusco. Would have been nice to have a couple of bottles of water in the room but there is a small grocery store close by. Breakfast wasn’t great but we went both times a half hour before it ended so maybe it was better earlier on. When we left at 4:30am on the morning of our tour the hallway lights were off and we could barely find over way to the stairs/elevator. For a place were most tours are picking people up in the early mornings, they should have some sort of lighting in the hallways."

Hotel Cusco La Paccha, Affiliated by Meliá

8/10 Good

"Very happy with this hotel overall. 4 stars instead of 5 for a few small reasons. Laundry is SUPER expensive compared to other hotels and laundry services in the country. And the checkout is really early, 10am. Also, don’t get the patio view rooms. We stayed here twice, a couple days before and few days after the Inca Trail. The first stay we booked a Patio View room and your room is very close to a busy road so it’s noisy. The second time we got just a regular standard room and it was so peaceful with a beautiful view of their garden. We also were never given a room upgrade or food & drink discount, even though it was listed as a perk for Expedia Platinum accounts. Other hotels have gone above and beyond with this perk and with this hotel, nothing. Small thing though. Their spa really did help with soreness after the Inca trail. It’s a bit more expensive compared to other massages advertised in the area, but I was also told that the cheaper massages are not good quality."

Artinka Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"El hotel es de maravilla todo lindo y limpio pero el ruido de los club es bastante molesto desde las 7pm hasta 6 am no deja a nadie dormir ! Tiene que hacer algo de eso. Deben de dejar una descripción de qué hay clubs cerca así uno puedo considerar si quedarse o no porque si hubiese sabido que eso iba pasar no hubiese rentado ahí . Uno no puede descansar de tanta ruido deberían considerar eso . Eso 3 días no durmimos nada."
