muy bueno

Solo estuve una noche, las habitaciones son estrechas y es un largo camino en las escaleras con maletas, PERO, las camas son super cómodas, buenas almohadas, AGUA SUPER CALIENTE, el mejor WIFI de cuzco, mucha amabilidad de quienes nos recibieron y el desayuno muy bueno!!! Queda en un callejón que nos dió la impresión de seguridad, pero es cerca a la plaza de armas, como 4 cuadras y es un gran precio para el sector.

Don't believe everything on website!

In alleyway, which made it difficult to find. Staff was great! Only thing is that website says there is a game room. This is not true. When i asked about the game roo, i was told that thete was none and its really just table games... Talk about false advertisement.

Bien, aunque mejorable

Nos resulto cómodo y funcional, tiene un pequeño balcón interno con muchas plantas, bastante silencioso y poco concurrido, tiene una cocina pequeña que solo se puede usar después del horario de desayuno y hasta las 10pm. la habitación nuestra daba a la recepción comunicada por una ventana así que ya temprano a la mañana cuando llega la mujer que preparar el desayuno nos despertaban los ruidos (sumado que en la calle la estaban pavimentando y rompiendo la vieja con martillos neumáticos) el personal fue muy amable. el desayuno se sirve tarde (hay que esperar los panes). Es difícil de encontrar porque en cusco cada cuadra tiene un nombre diferente.

Clean and affordable

Hotel came with a great free breakfast (eggs, bread, coffee, and tea). Room was very clean but the shower water stayed pretty cold. Near the Plaza de Armas but away from most of the rowdier hostels, this was a good location for a clean, affordable room. Not luxurious, but perfect for a stopover for two twenty somethings in route to Machu Picchu.

ロケーションはいいが…

ロケーションはよかったのですが、部屋がとても寒くシャワーを浴びることを躊躇うほどでした。ヒーターを貸してもらうようお願いしましたが、有料とのことでした。また受付の方は全く英語が通じなかったので、なかなか部屋に案内されるまで時間がかかりました。スペイン語が話せない場合は苦労することになるかと思います。

Affordable, great location.

This is a very basic accommodation located just a short walk from the main plaza. There is nothing fancy about the place, but it is a clean, safe place to sleep if you will be out on tours all day. I stayed with my family and it was perfect given that we were visiting Maccu Picchu and the Sacred Valley and were not looking for a more upscale place.

Buen trato

El hotel es una casa que ha sido adaptada con cuartos, puede mejorar la infraestructura, arreglar la puerta del baño, colocarle luz. Al ser una casa si es más acogedora y los chicos que atendieron muy amables y serviciales. Sería también conveniente que indiquen si se cancela con tarjeta se cobra un porcentaje adicional.
