Top Cusco Hotel Reviews

Kantu Hotel

Kantu Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed at Kantu Hotel for 5 nights and I was appreciative of the quality and care they put into making me feel at home. Emmanuel and the front staff provided me with suggestions on where to eat and different areas of Cusco that I could walk to. The staff was very welcoming and gave me time and space to recuperate after long days of walking. The hotel is located in an accessible location - right outside of San Pedro Market and San Pedro Train Station - which was helpful as I booked the PeruRail train to Machu Picchu. There was always hot water and tea available for guests - no matter the time. Great breakfast available with meat and rice options. The rooms were heated at night but they also provided heavy blankets and an extra heater. The view on the rooftop was another highlight. I tried to spend most mornings there, taking in the scenery. The humble streets of San Pedro has it's own smell and narrow sidewalks. But you can walk to everywhere you need to. It was a great price for a memorable experience in Cusco."

"Nice hotel! Only issue was that I booked all the rooms for my whole family. When my son in law arrived, who is from Peru originally, they told us they would add in 18% tax to the room because he is Peruvian. He was also visiting from the US and I booked the room- and paid for it- not he! They made him prove he lived in the US. We were a party of over 10 people and all had rooms. I found this ridiculous. Otherwise it is a lovely property"
