Sold out? See available alternatives →Who it suits and who should skip it
This 3-star suits first-time visitors who want to walk to the main sights and lean on the front desk for help. Guests praise a friendly team available 24/7 for luggage storage and tour arrangements, which is useful if you are heading out on day trips.
The property lists family rooms, a garden, a terrace and free Wi-Fi, and breakfast is a buffet.
Who should skip it? Backpackers on a tight budget, since our Budget pick cost about a quarter of the price. Light sleepers should also note that some noise travels through internal vents and squeaky floors.
Location and getting around
The address is Calle Choquechaca, 339, in the city centre. Guests describe a quiet street a short walk from the main square, and the location score is 9.7 out of 10.
Coricancha is 0.7 km away, about 9 minutes on foot, and Sacsayhuamán is 0.9 km away, about 11 minutes. Tambomachay is 3.9 km away, around 49 minutes, which is far, so plan on a taxi or public transport for that one.
These walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified. Real routes are usually longer.
What guests say
The score is 9.3 out of 10 from 896 reviews, joint fifth for review score among 12 properties in the sample. In a city with strong competition, that is a good result.
Staff are the most praised point: friendly, around the clock and helpful with bags and tours. The location on a quiet street close to the main square comes next.
Soundproofing is the weak spot. Guests say it is generally peaceful, but noise can travel through internal vents and from squeaky floors above.
Price and how it compares with our other Cusco picks
The reference price was €99.46 per night, about €199 for 2 nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
That was 40% below the sample median of €165.04 per night. Our Budget pick, Killaqente, was €25.41 per night with a score of 8.9. Our Luxury pick, Monasterio, A Belmond Hotel, Cusco, a 5-star, was €515.84 per night with 9.8.
The spread in Cusco is wide. Rumi Punku sits in the middle, with a higher score than the Budget pick and about a fifth of the Luxury price.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 12 eligible hotels in Cusco. The Best Value slot weighs guest score, number of reviews and price together, so it is not always the cheapest hotel.
A 9.3 score from almost 900 reviews, a central address and a price 40% under the median made it the strongest balance in the sample.
