La Casa de Manuelita Inn

it was totally different to what we expected from other reviews. the front desk lady does mot speak any English, no hot water was running for shower, the location was on the hill (quite walk to the main downtown), and they didnt take credit card. We booked it online to use credit card as we didnt want to carry more Peruvian sol towards the end of Peru - the front desk was so mean and shameless to insist to pay with cash only. i dont understand why this hotel has such a good review which fooled us. There's nothing around the hotel, seriously i wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Staff were awesome. We had arrived in Puno too late to get to our homestay on the Taquile island and had no accomodation for the night. Tried our luck with this hotel where we had booked for the next night and they not only accomodated us, they also charged the same rate for the extra night. They also arranged for a tour the next day (we checked in at 6pm) for the floating islands and the isle of taquile including lunch - with a pickup and drop off at the hotel also included. The hotel is also on the Bolivia Hop included list for pickup / drop off so very convenient and the centre of town was only a 10 minute walk away. Breakfast was nice, included eggs!

It was clean and close to the town center. The room is cold but that probably to same for most hotels in puno. They gave us some super warm blanket and a heater so no more cold. Excellent breakfast.

It's a good small inn but comfortable and nice staying. If they can fix the problem of the shower water would be perfect, I had got cold water shower.

We had a great stay at this hotel. The breakfast is good and varied and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

It was charming in its simplicity and service was great. It is not fancy, but is safe, clean and the service is outstanding. It is nothing fancy but the beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. Yes there were nicks and scrapes on the furniture and walls, with no heat but that didn't seem to be an issue. The owner was always on hand to assist where ever she could and we didn't need anything she couldn't provide. It is a 5 story building with no elevator so you may wan't a lower level if steps are an issue. We wanted a view of the lake and city so we dealt with the steps. I would recommend contacting the owner before your visit to help you with your tours and transportation, she will save you money over the internet tour sites. This is a small city/ big town and is not modern or fancy like many cities you may visit. Though it is a tourist based economy, the big corporations/ big money has not yet corrupted this area, so if you are like me and think this is a good thing I recommend visiting this area and this hotel. Over all experience was more than anticipated.

I had a wonderful stay! Always greeted with smile by Manuelita and everyone who was working there. Great hot showers everyday along with a nice breakfast in the morning. Manuelita was very helpful booking tours and airport transportation and confirming them for me. Rooms were clean with plenty of outlets. The walk to the Plaza de Armas is easy.

We arrived by bus from cusco at 5 am with no plans, and sweet Maneulita let us come drop our bags and check in early... She fed us and gave us great tour recommendations. We went for an overnight tour, and when we returned, she welcomed us with hugs and lots of love. What a wonderful lady!!!

Very clean hotel, just couple of block from centre. Hotel staff is the highlight. Breakfast included. Overall, great experience.

The hotel was lovely, with hot water and a nice, clean bed. For the price I was very surprised with the quality that I received. The breakfast was good, and because we were the only people staying in the hotel, they made it a point to ask us when we would be awake to make it fresh for us. The hotel is not as close to the main plaza and lima street as we would have liked, but it was not a far walk (10-15min). A cab may be necessary for the walk back, due to it being uphill. Overall, a great hotel for the price.
