It’s not a 4 star hotel. It’s an affordable, comfortable and clean pit-stop before or after the climb to MP. My 3 kids and husband slept comfortably.

Helt OK hostel

Bra läge borta från stadens oljud, men observera att rummets ytterdörr samt väggar är lövtunna och allting hörs igenom. Helt OK frukost. Utchecknlingstiden stämmer inte med vad hotels.com angett på sin sida, vilket är kl 12:00. Visande bokningen för ägaren men han ville inte lyssna. Enligt ägaren så är kl 0930. Fick lämna tidigare än önskat.

Beautiful location at the top of a busy street of restaurants and shops. Lots of steps, but close to the Hot Springs and gorgeous views from our window. The room itself was clean and big enough to fit my family of 5. Very happy with our choice.

Sleep to the sounds of the stream!

Wilson was great - he picked us up from the train station and walked us back. This hotel is at the quiet edge of town overlooking this lovely gushing mountain stream. The entry to hot springs are right next doors. The room was nice for us 5, the bathroom not as much. No warm water and this was in winter. So all in all a functional place, friendly staff and quiet. Recommended.

Best place in Aguas Calientes

Best place to stay in Aguas Calientes! The hotel was close to the hot spring, and all the way down are all the restaurants and markets. And if you are traveling with a family of 5, the room had 3 twin beds and 1 queen side bed.

Perfect for our needs

This is listed as a hostel, but it is more like a cozy hotel. I was traveling with a group of 12 people and we stayed here 2 nights, it was more than just adequate. The rooms were spacious and comfy, nice beds and mostly clean bathrooms (we had a spider in one of the showers that was not welcome :) The breakfast was amazing and the staff was friendly and helpful. It is at the top of the town so if you hate walking a very short distance, don't stay here...however, if you want to stay away from the noise of the trains, buses, and crowds then DO stay here. Recommended and would stay here again!

Basic hotel, but great for the area!

Definitely a basic hotel, but overall had a great experience! Loved that our rooms over looked the creek, it was lovely falling asleep each night to the sound of the water. The hotel staff was great, they met us at the train station and walked us to the hotel. We would have had a hard time finding the place had they not done that!

Nice place

Clean. Lots of hot water. Comfortable beds. Provided electric heaters at night. Met us at the train station on arrival for free. Provided bagged breakfast because we left before breakfast started to head out to MP. Staff is very kind, friendly, and helpful. WiFi worked everywhere. It is a bit of a walk uphill from Train station.

Clean, comfortable and great for families.

One of the best hostels we've started at in Peru. Room 206 has 4 beds with a dozen windows, gorgeous views and a private bath with plenty of hot water. As typical the rooms are cool at night but the blankets are plenty warm. The river provides a constant white noise at night so you don't wake up to other people leaving earlier or buses honking, trains whistling, etc.

Maybe adequate in the summers but freezing in the winter. Breakfast was of lower quality in a room with no heat with ice cold scrambled eggs. Bathroom got flooded after every shower. The staff, if present, was not friendly nor helpful, insisted that I must pay in advance.

One significant disappointment

Everything fine, except that we were told breakfast started at 5am. We wanted b-fast and wanted to store our bags so we could get on the early buses to MP. 0500 came and went, and there was no one there; we eventually had to wake up the manager to store our bags and we bought breakfast elsewhere. No big deal except the only reason we stayed in Aguas Calientes was to get an early start, and this interfered with our day.

Perfect for our stay

We were a group of 6. We booked two rooms. One that slept 4 and the other one 2. The room that slept 4 was nice, clean and very spacious. The bathroom was clean and the hot water had a lot of pressure (hair dryer and shampoo/soap). Our room overlooked the river and we all appreciated the sound of the river. The hotel staff was very nice, helpful and accommodating. I would definitely stay there again.

Great view!

The hotel is on the end of town near the hot springs. Not far from the station, but a steady climb. The Staff was very friendly and helpful. We got a corner room with a beautiful panoramic view of the woods. Curtain not super complete though, so some bleed-in light at night. Breakfast was bread, cheese, luncheon meat, one cereal and the usual drinks. They also prepared an egg to order that was quite good.

Para passar a noite: ok.

O hotel é bem simples, quarto de tamanho bom, mas com poucas tomadas. Ficaram de nos recepcionar na estação de trem e não foram, liguei e disseram que esqueceram, então ficamos 10 minutos esperando na chuva. O wifi conecta com muita dificuldade. O banheiro fica alagado após o banho, já que a cortina dele não vai até o chão. O café da manhã é simples, porém suficiente para ter energia de visitar Machu Picchu.
