Nothing

La posizione.

Camera dall’arredamento antiquato, molta polvere, fredda. Moquette sporca e inguardabile. Colazione in una stanza fredda e priva di personale.

Location and value for money. Provided storage facilities and organised taxis for us.

Rooms were cold as we were here during the winter. Radiator was in the room so kept it on all night. Coffee from machine not available until 6am on the dot. No earlier. Even 30 mins.

Superb Staff - Alex, baleria, Edgar, location

Run down, basic breakfast, cold, very loud on weekends

Hotel Marqueses is beautifully located—just a 4–7 minute walk from some excellent restaurants, local markets (mercados), and key sights in Cusco. The colonial-style architecture adds a unique charm and a sense of history to your stay. What truly sets Hotel Marqueses apart is the staff. From the moment we arrived, Edgar and Valeria at the front desk warmly welcomed us and helped arrange everything from airport transfers to cabs for Machu Picchu. But the star of our stay was ALEX, who went above and beyond—carrying our luggage up and down (note: no elevators), troubleshooting a non-working TV when the kids were restless, and even arranging for oxygen when we experienced mild altitude sickness. His kindness and attentiveness really made a difference. The bathroom had nice hot water, and the colonial ambiance of the property is memorable. In summary: • Pros: Exceptional staff, convenient location, colonial charm, hot water I’d return primarily for the hospitality and warmth of the team, which truly made us feel cared for. With a few improvements—especially in heating and breakfast—Hotel Marqueses could

Cons: Cold rooms, basic breakfast, weekend noise, slightly run-down condition the hotel does show signs of age. The rooms can get uncomfortably cold at night, especially with visible gaps in the doors and dust occasionally falling from the ceiling like gentle snowflakes. Despite the provision of a small heater, it didn’t quite warm up the space enough for our comfort. The breakfast was very basic and could definitely be improved, although the chef graciously made us omelets one morning upon request, which we appreciated. However, be aware that on weekends, loud music from nearby festivities can continue until 3:30 AM. On our stay, the noise was intense enough to feel vibrations in the room. We were told this is a common occurrence, and staff had to involve the authorities to get it resolved.
