Book it if you want to sleep in the historic centre, a few minutes from the cathedral, with staff who help with tours. Light sleepers should ask for a quiet room, because noise between rooms is the one recurring complaint.

First-time visitors to Cajamarca who want to explore the old town on foot are the best fit. The hotel is on a pedestrian street in the Centro Historico, and guests say the Plaza de Armas is a short walk away. If you plan day trips, the staff are said to help arrange tours.
Light sleepers should be careful. Some rooms are quiet, but others pick up hallway sounds and noise from inside the building. Travellers on the tightest budget may also prefer our Budget pick, which costs less than half as much and scores slightly higher.
Location and getting around
The address is Jirón Belén 636 - Centro Historico, and the location score is 9.6, the strongest number in the hotel's profile. St. Catherine's Cathedral, Cajamarca is about 0.3 km away, roughly a 4 minute walk on a straight-line estimate.
The two big excursions are another matter. Cumbemayo is about 7.2 km away, around 90 minutes on foot, and Ventanillas de Otuzco about 7.5 km, around 94 minutes. Both are far. You will need a taxi, a tour or public transport. Free parking is listed if you have a car.
What guests say
The score is 9.0 out of 10 from 377 reviews, second of 7 eligible hotels in our sample. Guests like the central setting on a pedestrian street close to the main square.
Staff get warm comments. Guests mention welcome drinks, help booking tours and flexibility with early check-in.
The weak spot is soundproofing. Experiences vary by room: some are quiet, others hear the corridor and internal noise. Ask for a quiet room when you book and mention it again at check-in.
Price and what you get
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults, was about €54.31 per night, which matched the sample median exactly. It is a reference, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Los Nogales, was about €25.36 a night with a 9.1 score and two stars. Our Luxury pick, Wyndham Costa del Sol Cajamarca, was about €59.02 with an 8.9 score and four stars. That puts this hotel only about €4.71 a night below the Luxury option, so compare both before deciding.
Listed facilities include a gym, a restaurant, free parking, family rooms, free Wi-Fi, a garden and a terrace. Breakfast is listed as American and buffet. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible hotels in Cajamarca. The Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price, and this hotel combines a 9.0 score, 377 reviews and a central location at a median price.
It is not the cheapest or the plushest. It is the steady middle option in a city where all three picks score well.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Given the soundproofing comments, noise is the one to ask about first.
Check whether breakfast is in your rate, confirm gym and restaurant hours, and arrange transport for Cumbemayo or Ventanillas de Otuzco in advance.
