I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with beautiful rooms that provided all the amenities expected of a 4-star hotel, including a balcony overlooking Cusco. The service was top-notch, and the location was convenient for exploring the historic plaza and downtown. The dining experience was fantastic, offering an early breakfast with various options. However, a small downside was the absence of coffee for the K cup coffee maker in the room.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the plus side, the room was large, comfortable, and clean, which made our stay very pleasant. However, the lack of air conditioning was a downside for both the double and triple rooms. The service at the customer desk was exceptional, with friendly and professional staff who went above and beyond to assist us. The location was excellent, offering privacy and quietness at night while being close to the downtown area. The dining experience was excellent, especially at the restaurant, although skipping breakfast could be a downside for some. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory and met our needs for the stay.

The hotel is just 5 blocks from Plaza de Armas and commerce, with an excellent restaurant offering a great variety of meals. It is also conveniently close to the historic district and the PeruRail train station, making it a perfect location. However, the high altitude did make me breathless after walking for a while.
Dining

The dining experience at the hotel was good, with a good variety of options available. However, it's worth noting they aren't vegan-friendly and even salads had cheese in them. Don't expect fully fried eggs from the first omelette they cook for you.
