This is an FANTASTIC hotel! The staff is excellent, the rooms are spacious and spotless, and the location can't be beat. The ambiance created with the open courtyard and the wandering alpaca make it a truly unique experience. And the breakfast is delicious. I highly recommend Union Hotel.

Staff and hotel itself was great. Breakfast was amazing with so many choices. Kiki was the reason for my stay. I loved my stay the only complaint i had is my room was near the stairway and i think bigfoot and his family were staying there because they were loud going up and down the stairs at night. So my obly advice dont get a room near stairwell. Other than that stay was wonderful

Amazing hotel. Great staff, beautiful breakfast and to top it all Kiki the llama. A fantastic experience very near the center but quiet enough for a good sleep. Everyone at the desk was fantastic, even if the airport pick up person let us down it didnt ruin the experience at all. Everyone was very accommodating and pleasant.

The free lesson from Kiki’s mom. I had an unexpectedly wonderful and educational experience at the Union Hotel in Cusco, where I met Veronica—who affectionately calls herself “Kiki’s mom.” Kiki is a smart 10-month-old Huacaya alpaca (one of the two alpaca types) living in the hotel courtyard. Veronica comes every day to care for her, and what began as a casual encounter turned into an incredibly informative, hands-on cultural lesson. Veronica is from Quiquijana, in the province of Quispicanchi. She brought with her a rich collection of materials, including all four types of highland fibers from the Cusco and Machu Picchu regions. Her explanations were immediately practical—especially for travelers hoping to buy authentic souvenirs. She taught us how to distinguish real fibers from fake ones simply by touching and smelling them, which is invaluable in local markets. She also demonstrated the use of a traditional tool called the pushka, used since pre-Inca times to spin animal fibers into yarn, and explained how these threads are then turned into blankets, clothing, hats, and more. One particularly moving moment was when she proudly showed a textile made by her grandmother—an “alive” piece of heritage filled with symbols, each carrying its own meaning. What impressed me most was her demonstration of natural dyeing. Using only water, a white translucent alum stone, and cochineal, she showed how dozens of vibrant colors can be created.

On our last day the hotel was completely empty it was only me and my mom. The new management arrived at 6am EXTREMELY LOUD people were walking up and down the stairs on non stop smoking sage all over the hotel we couldn’t breathe, it was awful. I asked them if they could respect us and let us sleep but it was like talking to the wall. The new people that are running the hotel are extremely rude, they didn’t respect me and my mom. They were walking like elephants up and down. Didn’t let us rest at all. It’s being an awful experience. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY. If you want to ruin your trip book this hotel. I told the receptionist that 6am is not ok to wake people up on vacation. Not even my earplugs helped me to fall back asleep because they won’t respect you they won’t stop and they won’t respect you as a guest.
