This is the best hotel we've stayed at during the two weeks in Peru (six hotels in total). Interie is cute and unique, bed is super comfy, room is quiet all the time, and very sustainability concious. Hand soap, shampoo and water bottle are all refillable, hot water is only available in the morning and night, and there is sorted recycling (!!!). Staff doesnt speak much English but super nice and attentive. They accomendated me for my request for breakfast when i had to leave early for tours and flight. If you want sustainable amenities and a cute inerior, this is for you

We had an excellent stay at the Arqueologo!! The location was perfect -- just a short walk to the main plaza and all kinds of bars and restaurants. The host was very attentive and the coca leaf tea in the lobby came in very handy for our early excursions. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location, friendly staff, uber-comfy bed
The building is a beautiful structure; our room was just as beautiful as the promotional pictures illustrate. Our bed was incredibly comfortable. The restaurant and bar which are promoted as being onsite in the pictures were not open. We had spotty internet for the first 2 days and then nothing for the remainder of our 8-day stay. Breakfast is good and the people who work in the building are extraordinarily friendly. This location is about 2 blocks from the main square making it convenient without having to endure the noise of a public square. This is a beautiful facility; it just seems like it isn't getting the TLC that it once had. Hopefully as travel increases this too will change for the better.

The owner is unscrupulous. He tried to charge me for a stay I'd already paid for. When a travel ban out of the country (Perú) was imposed he wanted to be paid in cash only but he didn't want to provide a receipt. Needless to say, we left as soon as possible.

Our focus is customer satisfaction. The day the Peruvian border was closed, several clients stayed at the hotel. the conditions of stay were super friendly. Low price only low in cash. It was not known how long the stay would last. the return depended on the agreements with the embassy. we regret the misunderstanding. I hope you are in good health.

Reasons to stay longer in Cusco
Cusco is a great place to experience Peru in all its variety and color. Perfect spot from which to do day trips to important sites, some fine museums, and excellent food in a range of prices and styles. Hotel is wonderfully funky, terrific staff, part of historic center of town. People-watching is always fun.

This hotel is highly recommended. First, the location is great, just 3 blocks from the main square which makes it an ideal place to relax. The hotel itself is beuatiful with a spacious garden and many places to relax. The staff is always very polite and willing to help in any way. The breakfast very healthy. We particularly like the heating facilities (Cusco can be very gold this time of the year) and the fact that there is always some great mate tea and drinking water available. Thanks Arqueologo, we had a great time!

Hotel Arqueologo was a good hotel for our stay. Two nights, two rooms, Christmas eve and Christmas night 2018. Our room with loft and mosquito net bed were fantastic! Breakfast was wonderful, the room it's in has a great view of Cusco. The day staff didn't speak english was bad. And the alpaca dinner at their restaurant was not good at all. Other than those 2 things a good stay!

Look elsewhere
After traveling from Machu Picchu to Cusco, we were very tired and excited to stay in our suit we booked months prior. Unfortunately when we got to the hotel we were told they booked out our room and we had to stay in the only room they had left.... the two twin bed room next to the office. We were more than disappointed. Fortunately they refunded the money but still doesn’t please me because we booked the suit for the reason of being able to relax after a long day of hiking Machu Picchu. Would not recommend.

Dear guest, We appreciate your comments that allow us to improve our service. Unlucky just at his arrival we were changing the reservation system. Consequently the type of room I had booked was not available. Obviously we have reimbursed the difference in rate between 2 categories of room. We understand that the reimbursement does not compensate the disappointment of this change. We remember that we have 4 types of rooms with different services. Each one has a different price.

Nice balance, good location, firm beds.
The hotel itself and service was nice amd accommodating. The bed, however, was too firm for my liking. I understand why they limit the hot water usage, but if you need to leave early for an excursion and want to shower, you cant shower outside the hours of 6-11a, and 6-11p. The view from the breakfast was nice. The service was a little alow in the bar, so much so that we got a free drink. Also, the hotel is just on the outskirts of where the nicer hotels are...same avenue, but a bit up the street, so more uphill walking. Hemce the better price, lilely. But the location is safe and you could reach the square within 5min. We didnt eat at the restaurant, but it looked nice. All in all, the hotel is a mix of ethnic, nature, and "comfort", albeit not so much for me or the other three in our group.
