Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the policy is no pets.
  • Limited check-in and check-out windows — Check-in runs from 12:00 to 13:00 and check-out from 09:00 to 10:00, which may feel tight after a night bus or early flight.
  • Breakfast is simple — Expect tea, coffee, or juice – not a full spread. It's fine for a quick start, but don't expect more.
  • Some staff have limited English — While staff are praised for being kind, language barriers can slow more detailed requests.

“Lovely stay. The staff were kind and genuine, even though their English was limited. Location was fantastic, a short walk from Plaza de Armas, with great restaurants nearby. Spacious, comfortable room and excellent breakfast. We enjoyed meeting other backpackers and making new friends. Being able to cook simple meals in the room was a nice bonus. A wonderful experience.”

“Convenient hotel in Cusco. Just a short walk from the main square and the party streets. The view of Plaza de Armas was beautiful. Staff were extremely helpful and quick to respond. Even those with limited English were kind and genuine. Great chance to meet fellow backpackers. Cooking simple meals in the hotel was a nice change from eating out.”

04 — Location

Getting around Cusco

The property sits in Cusco.

Plaza de Armas: Cusco's main square is a 5-minute walk away, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and colonial architecture. Good for people-watching and a first taste of the city.

Casa Concha Museum: About a 12-minute walk from the hotel, this museum offers a look into the region's history. Worth a stop if you're interested in pre-Columbian artefacts.

Lively streets and nightlife: The hotel is close to the party streets near the centre. If you're after a quieter stay, ask for a room away from the street.
