Our stay at Rumi Wasi could not have been better and made our trip to Cuzco perfect. The manager Manuel went above and beyond to make sure our stay was everything we hoped for and beyond! He was extremely helpful in making sure we avoided altitude sickness, gave the best recommendations for restaurants and local places to visit and even got us last minute tickets to Macchu Picchu (which every other agency told us was impossible). Our trip truly would not have been the same without Miguel and Rumí Wasi and we are so grateful. It was really like having a friend in Cuzco. The hotel itself is historic and beautiful with so many charming touches. It is also very close (a short walk) to the main square but far enough that it is nice and quiet at night. Our room had a rooftop terrace which gave us unbelievable views of Cuzco where we loved taking our breakfast and coffee up there (which was provided by the hotel and delicious). I could keep going on with praise but the main point is that our stay was magical and when we come back to Cuzco, we would never stay anywhere else. :)

This hotel is a house style place, takes you back in time and has a beautiful balcony, flowers and windows. It's very close to the plaza (5min away walking) and close to the turistic spots in Cuzco. Staff was very friendly too and helpful. I'll definitely consider this place for my next visit

The property is just round the corner from the main square in Cusco. We stayed for nine nights and loved it. The service from Manuel and Maribel was outstanding. He sent us a audio message prior to landing about avoiding attitude sickness and we followed his advice and had the perfect Cusco experience. Plenty of Coca tea and rest on the first day. We went to Rainbow mountain which is a challenging trek due to the attitude and Manchu Pincchu which was just amazing. Lovely courtyard and amazing views from the terrace. Cusco is so beautiful and this is a lovely place to stay.

Rumi Wasi is extraordinarily beautiful. Manuel was quit patient with us, as our flights were changed last minute. We appreciated his advice about the altitude. Our room was so beautiful, and breakfast was huge! We left late, and they had run out of bottled water, so my only advice is to fill your water bottles early.

Great location and I had a lovely welcome from Manuel, who also had some fab recommendations for dinner nearby. The breakfast was excellent. I had the Panoramic Studio Suite which had an incredible view of the city. The only downside was that it is right by the front entrance, which has a very loud doorbell that rings every time another guest is waiting outside to check in, or a taxi arrives to collect a guest

This was our second stay at this property. The property is very clean, well kept, quaint, and is in walking distance to the plaza. The area felt very safe to walk. The host, Manuel, was exceptional and very accommodating to our schedule from allowing us to store our luggage to arranging a taxi. He is very knowledgeable with excellent recommendations and was quick to respond to questions asked through WhatsApp. His advice to acclimate to the high altitude was spot on. A great place to stay when visiting Cusco.

Hotel is w/o reception and a challenge to check in. We had to reach out by phone in order to get access, and despite we announced and aligned about our arrival, we had to wait outside for someone to come with the key of the hotel. Overall room was nice and clean. Bathroom needs update. Roof terrace was nice but due to bad weather wasn´t used that much.

The property host, Manuel reached out to us prior to our arrival and offered transportation from the airport. This was excellent as the driver was waiting for us at the airport when we arrived. The property is very clean and quaint. Manuel also gave excellent advise to adjust to the altitude. Breakfast is ordered the night before and you pick the time and location where you want to eat. Everything was excellent and we plan to be back in 5 days.

Rumi Wasi was an excellent home base for our time in Cusco! Our first 3 nights we stayed in the suite with the private rooftop terrace and we loved our cute, cozy room with amazing views from the terrace. Our 4th night we booked a standard room which was good for just one night, would recommend the suite for a longer stay. The breakfast each morning is included in the price and they offered a nice customizable breakfast with fresh squeezed juice (so good!!) that we enjoyed on our terrace and then on the hotel’s little covered balcony which was great for the rainy day. One complaint I have, and this is in no way the fault of the hotel, is that it’s located on a street that has lots of bars/clubs so at night the music was very loud. In the suite room, we could hear the music all night long and this was on a Monday-Wednesday… my husband had earplugs which made it fine for him but I was bothered by it. I am so torn because I would absolutely recommend this hotel based on the hotel itself, and loved my stay overall, but the music situation was rough. In the second room we stayed in this was a non-issue because it’s not located on that part of the street. I have to shout out Manuel who was the hotel manager to greet us on our first night. He went above and beyond to help us with various things: arranging taxis, connecting us with a guide for Machu Picchu, making sure we were fully aware of altitude sickness and just overall such a kind and wonderful person. He was the best!

Amazing! We loved this hotel. I totally recommended this property. From the beginning, all the staff (Maribel & Ana) made us feel at home. Mr Manuel, the owner of the hotel, always was in communication with us if we needed something and pending about our health (regarding the altitude sicknesses). Breakfast, delicious. We booked another night, and if we come back to Cusco, we will definitely stay here!

One of the best hotels that I've been. The staff are friendly and do their job well. The interiors are cute and fashioned. I do recommend to ask for the taxi to pick up directly from the airport to the hotel since the steep hill that you have to climb up from the Plaza de las Armas with your luggage will be hard work with little air to breath.

De hecho, nuestros transportistas si llegan y salen de la misma puerta del hotel. Organizamos el transporte de nuestros huespedes. En efecto, las cuadras que rodean a la plaza de armas tienen el problema de las discotecas. Afortunadamente estamos a 250 metros, que nos dejan cerca de todo y lo suficientemente lejos de la bulla.Saludos cordiales

I recommend staying at the Rumi Wasi if you want to be walking distance near restaurants, the plaza, night clubs, and shops. It was a 3 minute walk to the Plaza de armas, which I loved.

Both Manuel and Anna were super helpful and attentive. The hotel is very charming. We stayed with our 2 teenage sons and we all found the hotel very comfortable. They had a room with 2 twin beds and we had a room with a queen bed and a small balcony. The bedding was top quality and kept us very warm during the chilly nights. The breakfast was delicious and brought to our rooms at our requested time. Manuel took the time to explain everything about altitude illness and how to prevent/combat it. Thank you!
