Top Cusco Historic Center Hotel Reviews

Atoq San Blas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very friendly and welcoming - they were attentive to detsils. The beds were super comfortable and the breakfast excellent!"

Sonesta Hotel Cusco

10/10 Excellent

"The property is amazing. Close to the Plaza but not right in the plaza. Maybe a 15 minute walk. Love that the breakfast buffet starts at 3am. Convenient if you have to leave for an early trek or tour. All the staff is friendly and helpful. Very professional team. I would stay again if visiting Cusco."

Union Hotel Cusco

10/10 Excellent

"Staff super friendly. Breakfast very high quality, healthy and tasty. Showers need running for a few minutes before they get hot but great once it gets going. The location is superb, with the market nearby and many food places. If you need to miss breakfast due to a tour, they will prepare you a bag with a sandwich and fruit. 24 hours reception. Some things could do with refreshing, for example the bathroom tap needs its tap head replaced. Housekeeping could be earlier - they didn’t manage to clean in the 3 days we were there but could be unlucky timing. All in all, very highly recommended!"

Aranwa Cusco Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was an exceptional hotel. Absolute beautiful and well equipped with great amenities, great staff and in a perfect location. Don’t hesitate. The online images might be deceiving, we found it looked better in person and we will definitely be staying at this chain should our travels cross paths. Well done!"

Antigua Casona San Blas

10/10 Excellent

"This has become my new favorite hotel in Cusco. It’s a small boutique property, which gives it a much more intimate and personal feel than some of the larger hotels in the city. Everything about our stay was excellent. The staff are genuinely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. The food is excellent, the rooms are bright and inviting, and the beds are extremely comfortable. Everything is also spotlessly clean, well thought out and very well maintained. One thing worth noting is that there is no elevator, so that may be a consideration for anyone with mobility restrictions. That said, the staff are always there to carry luggage up and down the stairs, which makes a huge difference. Overall, it’s simply a really pleasant hotel—welcoming and comfortable. After staying at several hotels in Cusco, this is the one I would choose to return to."
