I really enjoyed staying at that hotel. I ended up staying in two different rooms, both rooms were spacious (more like suite style) and unique, the second time around we got a view of the city, good shower pressure in the bathroom, and really kind staff. If I ever go to Cusco again, I will come back to this hotel.

The room was adorable, in such a good location, and I slept so well. I had an early leave and they had breakfast ready for me, then I realized I'd forgotten something in the room and they were so quick in checking and confirming they'd hold it for me. Excellent start to finish
