10/10 Excellent

"It was a wonderful hotel with extremely helpful staff and amazing amenities. We had a very pleasant and comfortable experience"

Hotel Cusco La Paccha, Affiliated by Meliá

10/10 Excellent

"This was a fairly modern hotel in a fairly close proximity to the city centre, though with small kids we chose to travel via taxi. Good food from the restaurant. Helpful and friendly staff. We even got a complimentary dessert plate on arrival. Would choose to stay here again if given the choice."

Union Hotel Cusco

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience and stay, hassle free money exchange at the front desk with a good exchange rate, Kiki the lama is the shining star!!"

LP Los Portales Hotel Cusco

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed here for a couple of days while we were working around our trip to Machu Picchu. This hotel was wonderful. The staff are not only super accommodating and helpful, but the hotel itself was very nice. A cute little courtyard area that led into a sitting room of sorts that was wonderfully decorated. A free breakfast that gives you everything you need to feel great going into the day. And while the rooms wouldn't be considered "fancy" in comparable to a place like the Ritz, the room was incredibly clean, the sheets were sooooo comfortable, and it was the perfect place to come back to at the end of a long day. And most importantly, the cost was affordable for everything you get. Very short (and cheap) uber ride to the main square, and just a 10-15 minute walk. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable place to stay in Cusco!"

JW Marriott El Convento Cusco

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was beautiful! I would recommend it to everyone. It incorporates history into the decor, it has a stunning courtyard and amazing breakfast buffet. The staff was super helpful with everything. Thank you JW Marriott Cusco for an amazing stay. Cusco is a magical city."

Wyndham Costa del Sol Cusco

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel in a perfect setting in old town Cusco. Only a few minutes walk to the main plaza and about 10 minutes to the markets. Walking the streets around there are a multitude of shops, restaurants, bars and so many beautiful streets and sites. A minor complaint is the rooms are a bit dated in regards to decor and places to plug in your tech, but it’s fine. Very clean. The staff around the hotel (bag handlers, welcome staff, servers) are VERY attentive. I found the front desk, although they would get the job done, were less friendly and welcoming. The food in the restaurant was good and the breakfast buffet large and had everything you could want. Word of warning, don’t bother with the on site “massage” company. The massage is just a weird back rub with essential oils and we were told and paid for a deep tissue. It is not the same company as the hotel but I might have expected they would house a company with higher standards."

Kantu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Simple, fresh and nutritious breakfast with lots of fruits, like it! During our Peru trip, we stayed twice for total seven nights"
