"The room is well located close to train station and bus stop to reach Machu Picchu. Close to restaurants and bars, without the inconvenience of loud noise until late at night. We really liked the bed, the number of available plugs in the room, the consistent hot water and water pressure when showering (really not granted in Peru). The room was very clean. The stuff very friendly and knowledgeable. The only real improvement would be breakfast, little variety and no real savoury options. It would have been nice to have eggs and some meaty options, moreover considering that visiting Machu Picchu involves long days with extensive walking. We would stay again in the future!"

"We stayed 3 nights. The hotel is in a great location about an 8min walk from where train drops off. The town is pretty lively so there was some outside noise but it didn’t bother us. We kept the window open too! Laundry service and coffee shops right outside the door. The breakfast was simple but adequate. The breads were always amazing and they always had fruit, yogurt, made to order eggs, ham, cheeses, you know, the usual continental breakfast fare. The coffee could be better. There was a good assortment of teas too. There was hot water but showers had to be quick cause it didn’t last long. Not a problem. The bed was layered and warm and comfy. The best thing was the couple who run the place. They were always around and very nice and accommodating. Felt very safe and well cared for. Highly recommend!"
