"This place honestly looks like it should be condemned. It was disgusting. The walls are peeling, there were 4 different types of flooring in each room, and the bedding and towels were stiff. I checked for bed bugs because the place looked so bad. I’m happy to report there were none. With each step we took, we were afraid our feet would break through the floor, it was incredibly squeaky and uneven. The outlets were inconveniently located. We rented a total of 4 rooms and each was just as bad as...

Top Cusco Hotel Reviews

Ureta Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I travelled with my family and our stay at Ureta was our favourite because the staff were so kind and helpful! It was our first time travelling to Peru and they answered so many of our questions. The location is great and was a 10 min drive to the city center! Our rooms were very clean and we enjoyed our breakfast at the hotel!"

Atoq San Blas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay. From the airport pickup and drop off to the cute cookies and notes they left in the room. The beds are super comfortable and it was perfect for acclimating to the high altitude. The front desk was helpful with every one of our questions. The breakfast was delicious. We loved being located in San Blas, walking distance to all the sites and quiet at night. Would highly recommend!!"

Adolfos Hotel Cusco

10/10 Excellent

"Hidden gem! Great property tucked inside a sideway of a bustling street. Short walk from the main plaza, awesome staff and good breakfast served with eggs prepared to your style. Packed breakfast for us when we had to leave for our early morning activities and stored our luggage for a few hours between our checkout and the flight."

Union Hotel Cusco

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel! We stayed our first 2 nights in Cusco while acclimating before the Inca Trail. It was perfect! We did the Ceviche and Pisco Sour classes with Elizabeth and Jorge. They were so fun....both the classes and the staff! The breakfast was delicious and had such a variety! Of course Kiki provided lots of entertainment. There was filtered water and tea in the lobby. The rooms were clean and cozy. It was a great location, the showers were warm. There is literally nothing we could complain about! It was a great stay and our favorite hotel of the trip!"
