Wifala Thematic Hotel

About 20 minute walk to centre of city. Ran out of water one night so couldn't shower til morning. Constant dogs barking in the road right outside all night. Staff very friendly and helpful, but very little English spoken. Be aware all rooms are 2nd floor and higher and there is no elevator!

Small but clean hotel close to Cusco center. Very friendly and accommodating staff. A great find

Who has a 9 AM checkout? Also the hotel has a central column that with windows open into all bathrooms that allows the smells from all bathrooms into your room. Also the central column transfers noises from the breakfast into all rooms. Lastly, when I asked for a later checkout, I was told that they needed the room but when I checked hotels.com, the site said that they had plenty of rooms left

The rooms are a little small, but it is close to everything, looks brand new, the staff are very helpful and the rooms also have portable heaters in case the cool nights are too much.

The staff at Wifala far exceeded all expectations we ever had. Some of the most wonderful people we have ever met. On our third day, my mother felt very ill (possibly because of the altitude or the strain of coming and going from Machu Picchu) and the owner went home and MADE caldo de pollo for her because no restaurants nearby had light enough fare for my feverish mother. Everyone in the hotel treated us like family and made our stay in Cusco feel like home. Small and quiet getaway a 5 soles taxi ride from the Plaza de Armas.

We stayed here two different times. Each time, the staff went above and beyond to be helpful. We loved breakfast! The negatives, the bed in our first room was uncomfortable, the second stay was fine. It is a 20 min walk from center of town, or a $2 cab ride. I would recommend.

Wifala is a nice budget hotel for people looking to save money. The room was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They held our luggage for us while we killed time before our flight and they passed out hot water bags to warm the bed before we went to sleep. The breakfast was good - bread, sandwiches, and juice. You can tell the staff really care. Things I didn't like: 1) the room has a TV but it's the size of a tablet and the signal comes in really fuzzy 2) it's a 20-25 minute walk from the main plaza - not too far but far enough we took a taxi most of the time 3) the room is pretty small

I stayed here with an Ecuadorian family whom I was hosting. They have a one year-old child who is very active and damaged a plant in the lobby. The manager laid into the mother and said if any dirty marks were left on bedding she would have to pay. It made her so uncomfortable we left after one day. I would recommend highly the Tupac Yupanqui Palace Hotel where we moved.

Great one night stay. Small but comfortable. They provide nice hot water bottles when it's cold.

Great little hotel...staff was amazing . Very helpful. Set us up with all the trips we wanted to take while we stayed in Cusco. About five min away from the main square by taxi. It was very clean. Great shower at the end of the day. Overall, we would stay there again. We definitely recommend it....
