Guest Reviews
- Renee (6/5): - This was a decent hotel overall but a few things that happened is the reason for the 3 star rating. A member of the cleaning staff took a dookie in my toilet while I was out. I get it that sometimes when you gotta go, you gotta go, and I'm not knocking them for that. However, if you clog said toilet, especially with the toilet paper that needs to go in a basket, own up to it and get it fixed before the guest comes back. It was awkward going to the front desk about this, but they were quick to fix the issue. The atrium of the hotel was very noisy at all hours. Lots of tours start at 4am, so there is a lot of hustle and bustle that you can hear through your room. There are also late arrivals where a doorbell needs to be rung to be let in. It echoes throughout the atrium when it chimes. Bring your ear plugs. The hot water wasn’t dependable. Sometimes you had a nice, strong hot shower and others you had to hustle to get the soap off as you felt the cold water seep in. The staff was friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. When our group left for a 4am trek, the hotel gave us a brown bag breakfast, which was nice. The breakfast was typical for Peruvian hotels, including all the usual items. Out of the 3 hotels I stayed at on my trip, this was my least favorite, but it was affordable and in a great location. All the major attractions were walkable from here and there were some great restaurants in the area. It could also accommodate for our large group.
- Jital (10/5): - Walkable and safe. Great restaurants nearby.
- Sharon (8/5): - Hotel Huascaran is a nice small hotel near the city center. Staff were very nice, helpful and considerate. Property is pretty, a light breakfast is included and they have 24 hour reception. Rooms are basic but clean. May want to bring a washcloth, they don’t have them (or anywhere in Cusco really). We enjoyed our stay!
- Cameron (10/5): - Excellent hotel. Very cozy and beautiful scenery. The workers were very attentive and gracious. I recommend this hotel to anyone that wants to have a great experience of the wonderful city of Cuzco
- Wanze (10/5): - Loved it! Very god location, nice courtyard for sitting and having breakfast, and super friendly staff. The hot water was just sufficient. Would definitely recommend!
- Georgiana (10/5): - The staff is very friendly and helpful. They hold my luggage before and after my stay, for 5 days and 3 days. Very safe. Highly recommend.
- warren (10/5): - This property is beautiful. It’s just a few blocks from the plaza. Best of all, the staff were incredible. My son broke his glasses while on the trip and the receptionist walked with us to the optometrist. We couldn’t find someone to fix them but she went from one store to the next until we found someone. She went above and beyond to help us. Both Vanessa and Joshua went above and beyond for us. They are so kind and hospitable
- Sina (4/5): - Description of room booked is different than advertised.
- Mark (10/5): - The staff was so helpful from allowing us to store our large luggage while we went to Machu Picchu to arranging a special last minute tour to the Sacred Valley as well as preparing a nice breakfast with made to order eggs. This is a small family run hotel, centrally located, well run and a very nice place to stay.
- Chris (10/5): - Spent six nights with Mach Picchu sandwiched in the middle. Very pleasant, great location to work to central plaza & plenty of great restaurants nearby. Staff was super friendly.
- Amanda (10/5): - Very helpful and friendly staff!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel! - I had an amazing 1 week stay at the Huascaran Casa boutique! Clean, comfortable, well located, with an excellent breakfast. The staff was very helpful and gave me great advice. I totally recommend and would definitely book a room there again.
- JENNIFER (10/5): - Right near the center, authentic, friendly, beautiful, great deal,
- Lingxi (10/5): - This place was adorable! The room was spotless, and the employees were all so nice. They start breakfast really early in the day so we were always able to grab something on our way out on our early tours. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the center of the historical center and literally steps away from a pharmacy and just down the block from a couple of convenient stores. Plenty of small shops and food places within minutes of walking. Highly recommend it if you are visiting Cusco!
- Francisco (8/5): - Good breakfast
- Pablo (10/5): - The place was great location and nice aesthetic. Everyone was so welcoming.
- Jacob (10/5): - The hotel is located in walking distance from the main sites and the central square of Cusco. Loved the staff, the rooms and the service offered.
- H-N (8/5): - Easy and convenient. The courtyard is a nice feature and is a peaceful space amid the city. The breakfast was very good and the staff are very helpful!
- Javier (10/5): - Really peacful , we enjoyed our stay Thank you !
- John (10/5): - Above and beyond! First of all it’s just a great place! I also then left a beloved hat . I contacted them a few days later and they sent it back to me. Just got it and couldn’t be happier.
- Patricia (10/5): - We loved the property, it feels cozy like when you are at home. The staff is incredible, and super friendly
- Mariah (10/5): - I loved this hotel. The room was so cute with doors that opened up onto the street. The whole property just gives such a relaxing energy. Great breakfast and the staff were so kind and helpful.
- Chad (10/5): - Hotel was super cute and comfortable, breakfast was very good, staff was great and allowed us to leave our bags over night while going to Machu , would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone,
- sriram (10/5): - Great location and lovely courtyard with trees. Friendly staff. Highly recommended
- Chloe (10/5): Definitely recommend! - Another great stay. The hotel is lovely, the rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable. the staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms are cleaned every day.
- Chloe (10/5): We loved our stay here! - We loved our stay. Would highly recommend.
- Thomas (8/5): - Good
- Cynthia (6/5): - It’s a cozy atmosphere. Front desk was really nice and accommodating. The woman handling breakfast was working very hard and did a great job. I really appreciated her. She made my mornings start off nicely and she always kept everything clean and supplied. She is great. Some rooms need updating and they need to put towel racks in bathrooms. They cleaned daily which was nice.
- Michael (10/5): Muy Bien! - Wonderful stay! Beyond accommodating of all my needs. Breakfast was great, room was clean and quiet and the front desk was super friendly and helpful! Would definitely stay here again!
- Jerry (10/5): - So close to so many great restaurants. You can take 30 steps in any direction and eat like a king.
- NATHALIE (10/5): - I like the convenient location of the hotel, just couple of blocks from Plaza de Armas and the variety of restaurants and bars at walking distance
- Rebecca (10/5): Charming hotel, easy access to get around - Charming hotel, delicious breakfast and friendly staff. When the family room we booked was accidentally given to somebody else, they gave us two rooms next to each other instead. Courtyard is a nice place to sit and read. Staff helped us get a taxi to our next stop in our travels. This is the second time we have been here and we will continue to come back in the future.
- Nishchal (10/5): - It was amazing! The service was very personal and they made sure we had everything needed
- Luis F (10/5): Machupicchu - Clean room, very close to Machu Picchu great price.
- Nishchal (10/5): - Nice location if you want to be a few minutes away from the main plaza! We loved our stay.
- Vanesa (8/5): - Es muy acogedor, todo limpio, agua caliente, mantas abrigadoras, en el patio puedes tomar mate de coca o muña que te puedes servir en cualquier momento, me encantó!!. Esta cerca de la plaza, en el barrio de san Blas donde puedes caminar por los alrededores. Hay Wi Fi, pero la tv no funcionaba en mi habitación.
- Ian (10/5): - Grateful for my stay at beautiful tranquil and well located Apu Huascaran with the treasure being the kind hearted family staff. From the friendly welcome and assistance during my stay with retreiving my bags which arrived to airport after my arrival. Along with helpful recommendations and support while leaving. Highly recommend to fellow travelers and my heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful staff and lodging.
- José (10/5): Gracias!!! - En general la estadía fue excelente, aunque la primera noche no hubo mucha agua caliente, esto fue superado tan pronto me comuniqué con Luis. Su mami fue muy atenta y preocupada porque nos sintieramos a gusto!. La próxima vez que retorne a Cusco, no dudaría en volver a hospedarme en aquí.
- susana (2/5): - When I arrived to the hotel it was closed! I knocked several times and a woman opened saying that they were not open!!!! The hotel looked abandoned and had dog poop everywhere so I was not able to stay there and Travelocity charged me for my stay!!!! Even though I've been chatting with Travelocity and they said they will refund me they didn't. So disappointing, I had to find another place to spend my time in Cusco. I don't recommend using Travelocity. There is a facebook page of complains about Travelocity services!!!!Don't use it!
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Hot water in bathroom is NOT hot. Only one towel given each day. No heating available. Mediocre breakfast..
- Michael (6/5): Confusing; Not room shown on hotels.com - I had booked a double King bedroom and upon arrival I was given a queen single room. I told them this is not what I booked. I was then moved to a hotel closer to the center but then they also tried giving me a small room. I was then given a bigger room after stating this is too small but still was only a single queen bed. Photo is the picture of the hotel room I finally got but it was no double King
- Walter (8/5): - The property has a courtyard in the middle with glass.
- Zach (6/5): - Ok for the price I guess but the room didn't smell to fresh and the staff wouldn't let my friend enter the hotel
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The property was clean, the staff were kind and very helpful. The breakfast, coffee and tea was excellent! I would stay here again for sure.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Courtyard was lovely. A little noisy first thing in the morning.
- Verified traveler (8/5): good - The hotel was in a great location and the breakfast was also good. The room was a little dark with no windows but still nice.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The property was beautiful & the staff was very friendly and on the ball. It was very cold but when I asked for an extra blanket, I received a heater to warm us up. There was not always hot water but when you got some, you could take a nice shower. Great service!
- Angela (10/5): - I would stay here in a heart beat again. Top 2 places to stay while in Cusco. It is very close to the Plaza de Armas and in the fun San Blas neighborhood. The room was warm, friendly, and cozy. It felt like a home. Best deal around.
- Elizabeth (6/5): Overall ok, but staff tried to "bait & switch" - Upon arrival, we were told that our room was "occupied" and were offered a room at another location. We asked to see it first, and were glad that we did, as the 'other location' was some random apartment - not even another comparable hotel or hostel. We refused. They miraculously "found" a room for us. It felt like a bait and switch. We ended up in a much smaller room than we had booked (and paid for) but it was fine. In the end, Hotels.com made it right by offering us a partial refund. Hostal is nice (3 stars is about right) with a lovely courtyard and a decent breakfast. We were just disappointed in the hassle upon arrival.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The hostal, is simple but has everything you need. Tea and coffee is available all day which is nice and breakfast is simple but plentiful and you can even order an omelette. It is 10 min walk Plaza de Armas and next door to Green Point organic restaurant. I want to highly praise the receptionist at the hostal. With little english and my basic spanish, they had really helped me in many ways. I sadly got pick pocketed and they helped me call for a taxi to go to the police station and allowed me to use their computer to contact my family, which was very kind of them. Thank you Apu Huascaran, for my stay at the hostal and being so kind.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is a lovely hostel with simple amenities. The staff speak little English but
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Anazing place and the staff waz very helpful!! You will love the patio!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We arrived at 6 am and our check in was not till later in the day and the receptionist was nice enough to let us sleep in another room while we waited. They were very attentive and the place was quaint and cozy. Not a far walk from The Plaza de Armas.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - We stayed in this hotel for three nights. It is close to historic downtown and good restaurants. The staff were friendly. I recommend this hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good location, friendly staff . It’s central and with in a walking distance to restaurants,
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Location, allowed to enter the room that's the good. The worst, that there was we didn't find toilette paper in the outside bathroom.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Pros + Location near San Blas square and good restaurants like Pachapappa + Very safe and secure property with free luggage storage Cons - Staff especially lady with good English at front desk in the day-time. She attempted to charge us for breakfast even though we didn't eat it on one of the mornings due to early morning pick-up to Machu Picchu. She helped us hire a private taxi driver for 300 soles. I asked for a receipt and she said "noooo" with a whine, so I asked if she can hand write it and she was finally willing. Makes me wonder where the money was going to go. - Terrible WiFi service. - Poor air circulation in room 102. - Hot water is at a minimal even when you turn it on for several minutes.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Courtyard is very nice, and breakfast was satisfying. Door locks don't feel super secure but the area itself feels safe. The location is a short hike up a narrow street where you have to dodge cars going by. I did not like that the housekeeping service moved our stuff around. The front desk can help you with taxi services but I felt that their prices were high. Overall met our needs, but there are no frills with this stay.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Pathetic experience - We stayed at this hostel for 4 days and the experience was not good. On the first day we didn't have basic facility like hot water. The next day in the morning front desk said to take shower after 10am if you need hot water if we needed hot water. The wifi over here is pathetic. We got speed of around 100 kbps which is like having no internet at all. Also on 3rd day we had to get you early for morning tour and found that electricity in our room didn't work. Front desk had just sorry to say for this
- JSk (10/5): - Friendly staff made a huge difference when I had altitude issues. They offered oxygen and oxygen deficiency helped me. One evening, I was feverish and a staff brought a pot of tea. Breakfast was good and it was a comfortable stay. Location was great, tool
- roger (8/5): - Very bad wifi
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Just finished an 8 night stay at Apu Huascaran. It was amazing the staff do so much for you to make everything right. We booked 5 tours right there at the hotel and everything was just perfect. It is in the best part of town with lots of resturants and shops around it. Luis and his staff are extremely friendly and got above and beyond to make your stay the best. I can say for my family they sure made that happen so thank you for that. I know when i return to Cusco this is the place we will come back to without a doubt.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Our experience at Apu Huascaran was quite good. The location is extremely central with a good view of the city. Breakfast was delicious and the staff helpful. Laundry services are offered here.
- Wendy (10/5): - I was please with Apu Huascaran since I booked it. They emailed me to ask me if I needed tourism and to let me know how they could provide me with such as backpack or hiking sticks. We got here middle of the day and checking in was a breeze. The location is wonderful, walking distance from everything.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It is really nice boutique hotel. The staff makes this place particularly outstanding, the receptionists and night staff make sure you have a great stay. Very clean, nice breakfast, they kept my luggage while I was at Machu Picchu, everything easy as it should be.
- Stephen (8/5): Avoid some rooms - Outstanding in almost every respect. But if you land in one of the first floor rooms near the office (I was in 102) don't plan on sleeping past 5 am. Noise from the staff or folks departing early will wake you.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Incredible hotel for the rate. Perfect location, only 2 blocks from the shopping Plaza. Room was fun with a balcony for the kids. Show was hot and room was warm. That is not to be expected from other historic hotels in Cusco. Breakfast was nice; made to order omelets. Hot Tea all day long. I would definiitey stay here again.
- Hiroki (10/5): - Good location and friendly staff. They provide complementary coca tea and muña tea as well.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The courtyard is comfortable. The staff is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The rooms are a good size. The only trouble we experienced is that our toilet had a leak that the hotel continuously tried to fix. It was more of a nuisance than a problem.
- andrea (10/5): Great hostal! - The staff was great and a very well located hostal.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Really nice courtyard where a really great breakfast is served
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Generally very good experience. Great location, clean room, nice breakfast spread and the staff is very good at arranging taxi service. The one day we badly needed a shower the water was off for municipal maintenance. That wasn’t the hotel’s fault but it was frustrating. Hot water takes awhile to come - you need to run the water for 5 minutes which felt wasteful. Internet was ok but not super fast. I would stay again. Really good location abd nice ambiance.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, clean, rather charming. Helpful staff.
- john (8/5): - it was a fine and comfortable hostal breakfast was also very good on one or two times there was a smell of sewage from the toliet overall 7 10
- Meghan (10/5): - As a family of 4 it was wonderful to have a sleeping space where the kids had their own upper level to call their own! Staying on the upper floor over looking the courtyard was beautiful! Highly recommend!
- Lorraine (10/5): - This is our second time here and won’t be our last. Apu Huascaran is one of this hotels that makes you feel welcome and at home. The hotel is located in the charming neighborhood of San Blas just a couple of blocks from the main square, fat enough to avoid all the hustle but conveniently located in one of the nicest neighborhood Cuzco has. It’s rooms are spacious and beds and linens are extremely comfortable. All rooms face the interior patio and noise travels up in the mornings during breakfast prep time, but at least for us it has never been an issue. The only downside I could mention is that the bathrooms are a bit dated and the shower doors could be fixed replaced, since they don’t run properly and water tends to leek out, but other than that it is the perfect place for a stay in Cuzco. The staff is just amazing, polite, always helpful, looking to provide any assistance needed and tending to our needs at every moment with a smile and the best attitude. We hope to return to Cuzco and when we do we’ll definitely stay here again
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is my second time around and it hasn’t not let me down. The hotel is located in San Blas near everything and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Rooms are large, well kept and the beds are perfect for a great nights sleep after walking this amazing town.
- Lucas (8/5): A decent option for cheap - No frills, but nothing missing either
- M (10/5): - This is a very friendly place with staff who are eager to please. We enjoyed the ambiance and being so close to the historical center.
- erin (6/5): Didn’t stay at Apu Huascaran - I can’t really review Apu Husacaran because we didn’t end up staying there. When we arrived there was no record of our Expedia reservation and after an hour of confusion it seemed the hotel staff found our booking on another system. However Apu Huascaran was full so instead they gave us a room at their other hotel in town Casa Oblitas. The casa oblitas was in a good location with basic rooms and breakfast. I can’t compare to Apu as we never stayed there. The hotel staff were very apologetic and Luis gave us great recommendations for coffee and restaurants and they covered the cost of our cabs between the hotels and stored our luggage while we went to Machu Picchu. Overall we got everything we needed to complete our stay in Cusco it was just a bit different than we had planned
- Hou Man (8/5): Good option - Great breakfast and friendly staff. Hotel also sent taxi to pick us up at the airport. This could be because the hotel had to move us to another hotel in the city, which was fine by us. But the communication could be better. After settling down at the replacement hotel, we were told by the staff there we would have to move back to the original hotel the next day, which was also fine by us, but I thought all these could be communicated upfront and let us find out bits by bits.
- riaz (8/5): Good stay value for money - Good hotel located 10 mins walking from the main square. Friendly staff good rooms with hot showers. Awesome breakfast
- Minerva (10/5): - It was clean and well organized.l. Even though we were in vacations sometimes we wanted to rest and watch some television but only channel 13 was available and not clear.
- CW (10/5): - is small hotel but very cozy. the stuff are absolutely wonderful. definitely recommended for everyone.
- Sam (8/5): - This is in a great location and great value - small rooms but very friendly helpful staff make up for anything lacking in the hotel itself
- Verified traveler (4/5): Not what I expected - We stayed at this property the years ago and we came back because we loved our previous room. This time was quite disappointing and didn't seem worth the price. The hotel staff was nice enough to change the first room we received which was very basic and had paint peeling off the ceiling. The second room seemed better but we later found it was in a state of disrepair as well. The plaster on the walls was peeling and bubbling in places. Sink pipes were visible as you'd find in a cheap hostel in Peru. There was a distinct sewage smell coming from the sink. Worst of all, water gushed like a river from the shower door and we had to damn it up with towel just to take a shower. We mentioned this to the girl at the reception, who seemed surprised, however there was so much corrosion on the bottom of the door that I find it hard to believe we're the first to make that complaint. It seems there has been little to no upkeep since our last stay. I'm embarrassed to have taken my family here. I can not recommend.
- Debra (10/5): so quaint - Greeted at the door with coca tea. Perfect first experience with Cusco. Room was clean and roomy. The fact that it was modern was perfect for us. The courtyard was relaxing.
- Davone (10/5): - Perfect location - walking distance to most everything. Amazing staff that helped us with taxi's, tours and suggestions. Hot Breakfast was included and lots of tea! Loved CUSCO!
- Raquel (8/5): - The hostel is very clean, the staff excellent. However the owner charged us higher prices for the Machu Pichu tickets. I found out in the train that other people had paid less. There is no heating, but at your request they can place a space heater in the room.
- Rebecca (10/5): Family hostal - Lovely family friendly Hostal.
- Eric (10/5): - Staff was excellent. Flexible and attentive. Able to leave bags there while we trekked Salkantay. Great breakfast each morning. Was a couple of blocks down to Plaza de Armas so location was great. Close to several very good restaurants. We stayed in the family room that slept 4 with a loft. It handled us perfectly at a reasonable price. I would stay here again
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Comfortable hotel in walking distance of the plaza. We had a space heater in our room and kept warm during the evening so/nights. Breakfast was great, the staff super friendly, and we would happily stay here again.
- Moussa (10/5): - Very nice place, amazing staff and great location near everything. Loved our stay there.
- Todd (10/5): - I enjoyed every night i stayed there. The staff was willing to help every time i needed it. The breakfasts were varied, nutritious, and tasty. A home away from home! :)
- Jo (8/5): - A good, clean hostal option that is centrally located, just a 5 minute walk from the Plaza de Armes (well, going there, a little longer coming back because of the hill :)). We enjoyed the breakfast (note - skip the coffee, and get one down the road at Manuelo and Escubio). We liked that they were able to store our bags while we were on the Inka Trail. Staff were friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Located in the heart of San Blas, it has very clean spacious rooms, a very complete breakfast and the hotel staff is very accommodating.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Noise Noise Noise - Do you like to sleep in a room you paid for? If so I highly suggest you look elsewhere. Our stay involved constant noise from both the street, paper thin walls and the people walking in the room next to us which creates the loudest sqeaking you have ever heard in you life. In addition a hour after checking in I had a knock at our door and a lady franticly speaking spanish (I dont speak spanish) burst into my room. I tried to block her way into the room but she got past me. My peruvian wife who was sleeping woke up and confronted this lady in our room and told her to get out. Turns out she was looking for a phone charger she thought she left in the room. After speaking to the front desk we learned that it was a employee who was a cleaner. Quite scary and very unprofessional. Aside from those two points the WiFi is non existant is your rooms between the four rooms among our party none of us could get reliable signal. look elsewhere.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great place cute clean rooms terrible wifi - To be honest everything about this place was great. Room, staff, check in and out. everything except the wifi. the place is quite small but none of the rooms have access to their wifi. How do I know this you ask? because every rooms door was open with people sticking their phones out the door. bummer.
- Brent (8/5): Great location and nice clean hostel - Great stay except for one loud truck at night that hung around for half an our making noise at midnight! Staff are very friendly and accommodating! Willing to help with luggage storage and early 5am breakfast for departure for Inca trail. Nice hot showers and great location. Not loud, just had the truck one night..
- kamini (10/5): Amazing staff, artistic decor cozy room & more.. - The courtyard was was really beautiful and artistically decorated. The staff was friendly with late check in and even helped us with planning machu picchu plan. Our room had a loft with 2 extra beds which would be great for families with kids. I would strongly recommend this hotel
