Guest Reviews
- miklos (6/5): - LOCATION IS GOOD, NOT SO CLEAN SOME SMELL STAINS ON THE BED SHEETS
- Keylin (10/5): - Good stay
- joseph (10/5): Friendly - The hotel manager/owner was fantastic. He knew when we were going to Machu Picchu and made sure we had our passports, bus tickets, and Machu Picchu tickets. When there was trouble getting out of Aguas Calientes, he was working with his contacts to give is updates. Im not sure we would have been able to leave without his assistance. He was helpful in every way during our stay.
- Bradley (4/5): If you like poor wifi and cold showers, . - The hotel is in a great location (but I think all hotels in Aguacalientes are). We were in Room 305, the wifi was very poor, so bad you could not upload any pictures if you wanted to. The hot water is shut off during the day, if you wanted hot water had to ask them o turn it on than wait 5-10 mins, our room ran out of toilet paper, the free breakfast was sparse and unlike all the other hotels we stayed at ther was no tea and coca leaves available 24 hrs per day. There were not many people staying at the hotel, so you would think that the service would’ve been better.
- CEDRIC (10/5): UNE ETAPE ! - Un hôtel familial bien situé pour visiter le Macchu Pichu. Service de bagagerie. Proposition de petit-déjeuner agréable.
- Joe (6/5): - The property needs some TLC in the rooms. Good staff, breakfast, location.
- Kerry (8/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff. Close to everything and all necessities walkable. Ask for a room away from the front of the build if you want to get to sleep before 12:00 am.
- Roberto (8/5): - Tapis au plancher qui sont pas très propre, bruyant à cause des fenêtres peu insonorisé, pas eau chaude ..
- Bryant (4/5): - Hotel has no elevator, heat or air conditioning. Around the corner from a soccer field and very noisy until very late at night. Staff was very friendly and rooms were clean. Hot water? Not happening....
- Michael (2/5): - Unit amelled like strong urine, damaged lamp, no wifi no hot water
- Jean-Charles (10/5): - Super accueil .. et proche de tout. 5/10 mn des bus pour Macchu Picchu ..ne partez pas trop tôt , les horaires des bus sont respectés . 30 mn avant votre tour suffit ..les files (7:00,8:00,9:00..)sont impressionnantes mais super gérées ..pas possible de partir avant votre heure entrée macchu
- Carlos (2/5): Poor - Breakfast no good, tv not work, hair dryer not work, no shower map, I dont recommend, stay away
- Javier (4/5): - Ofrecen servicio de recogida en la estación de tren, pero no se presentaron. Por la mañana ducha con agua fria.
- Edgar (10/5): - The hotel staff was the best I have ever seen. They go out of their way to assist and to help. They provide all necessary information. Even though I was downstairs past the breakfast hours, they still accommodated me and made sure I had something to eat. They are very friendly and hospitable. While the hotel is only 3 stars, the staff is far better than any 5 star hotel in which I have ever stayed. Thank you Intiwatana El Tambo!!
- Rosana (2/5): - El dueño bien amable. Pero el hotel no está en buenas condiciones, terrible el olor a humedad en la habitación y las sabanas y en el lobby. No tiene aire acondicionado, ni agua caliente
- Jose (10/5): - Limpio y cómodo. Staff muy amable
- Willian (8/5): - Great hotel in Machu Pichu Pueblo… I would recommend it and used it again.
- Jennifer (2/5): - Loud, no air conditioning, no wifi, bathroom disgusting(smelled of mold, shower no hot water, toilet running and chain kept coming off) dirty sheets, dirty pillows, blankets dirty floors, false advertisement overall nothing like the pictures while booking 4 or 5 star how!! You hear everything and all night people talking outside, soccer games noise, night club or bar noise. Just terrible its literally in the slums. Waste of money its better to stay in cusco to have good food, hotels etc. Place needs serious upgrade all the money we pay doesnt make sense might as well stay with the locals on the streets meaning the dogs!
- Verified traveler (2/5): One of the worst experiences - The hotel is nothing like what they saw it in the picture. They didn't have towels in the room and we had to ask them to bring them. Also there was no hot water. I would surely not recommend it.
- Flavia (8/5): Bom custo-benefício - Hotel simples, porém bem localizado e atendeu a todas as nossas necessidades. Bom custo benefício.
- Madeleine (10/5): Great place! Recommend. - Great experience! Lovely service, easy and clean.
- Valeria (10/5): - El lugar y atención
- Gonzalo (4/5): - Hotel ya pagado y me estaban cobrando de nuevo. Sábanas con manchas. Baño sin papel higiénico.
- Jaymini (6/5): Okay room - no hot water - The room was ok - we booked for 3 but gave us a two person room but we agreed though sleeping was a little tight - just be sure to confirm in advance. Also there was no hot water in the morning or evening.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Aguas Frias - We stayed here (as planned) for just one night. The hotel staff was very helpful with restaurant suggestions and directions, and they assisted us to arrange a guide for Machu Picchu. But there was not hot water for the showers (or at least not enough), which seems strange for a hotel. On the other hand, I don't see anywhere in the description that there would be hot water. Otherwise, the accommodations were good and fit our budget.
- Michael (6/5): - The address that come up is incorrect so we had a difficult time finding the place. When we called the number listed a child answered the phone so it must not be correct. Luckily the local police are very helpful and showed us the way. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The facility is average and the Wifi above the 2nd floor is spotty at best. The location is a short walk to the train station and the hot springs, and restaurants are very everywhere. It’s also a short walk to the busses to Machu Picchu. Get good directions before you go, stay on the first two floors, and you’ll have a great visit to Aguas Calientes.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Gente amable pero instalaciones decepcionantes - Pasamos una noche en el establecimiento de camino a Macha Picchu y como lugar para pasar la noche, supongo que cumplió con su función. El personal nos fue muy amable en cada momento y fueron quizás lo mejor de la estancia. La habitación olía desafortunadamente a humedad, parecía que estaba impregnada en todo. El agua caliente funcionó por la noche (con un chorro tan potente que casi dolía) pero al día siguiente por la mañana no. El desayuno muy escueto (que no tiene por qué ser problema) con detalles básicos como la cafetera apagada con café frío, la tostadora desenchufada, etc. El hotel está muy cerca de la estación de trenes.
- MARCOS (8/5): - Foi razoável! O quarto em que ficamos era bom com cama king confortável, mas o chuveiro não esquentou de manhã e o marido tomou banho gelado. Durante a noite muito falatório, mas ignorei e dormi! O staff foi gentil e prepararam café cedo pra subirmos para Machu Picchu, além de guardarem nossas mochilas.
- Gerard (10/5): Absolutely Recommended - Extremely friendly and helpful staff and nice hotel in excellent location.
- carlos (10/5): - Muy amables desde nuestra llegada. 👌
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We enjoyed the close proximity to the train station and the delicious breakfast provided.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Very small hotel, we were helped by checking in early, there is a lot of noise and you can almost here everything from every room. Over all, ok.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff was so helpful. The kitchen staff would make requests for breakfast.
- Veronica (10/5): - The room is really nice. Got a good rest before macchu picchu
- Ralph (8/5): - Friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is centrally located.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean and comfortable. Close to train from Cusco and bus to Machu Picchu. Only issue was needing cash to pay for the room.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very nice little place close to the busses and train. It was a little noisy at night. The staff is very friendly. The staff printed my tickets, met us at rhe train station a d walked us up to the Hotel, a d fed us breakfast at 0430.
- Michael (10/5): - Hotel was in a great location. Very easy to get around. Staff were very friendly and helpful with directions. Breakfast was good. Able to leave your luggage with them if going upto Machu Picchu and they will deliver it to the station at the time you give them
- Xandre (6/5): - Situated in a good area, comfortable bed. Thin walls so can be very noisy especially if needing an early night for Machu Picchu, someone tried opening my door in the middle of the night which was totally uncalled for. All the plug sockets were American (usually throughout Peru European) even though there was a radiator with European plug make of it what you will. They don't take Mastercard so was a pain breakfast was decent enough. Windows facing some sort of courtyard and one of my windows was eye level with the stairs so that was a bit uncomfortable. Okay for a night and a place to leave the bags P.s. bring ear plugs
- Santiago (10/5): Buena,atención muy cerca a la,estacion de tren - Excelente, estuvimos en el IntiPunku El Tambo Macchu Pichu,excelente atención justo a la vuelta de la estacion de tren. Muy Buen desayuno, solicita la nos despierten a las 4 am lo hicieron, desayuno a partir de las 430am muy cordiales y amables
- Jon (10/5): - The hotel is nice, and close to everything (Machu Picchu Pueblo is so small, there are no bad locations). This hotel is just around the corner from a large soccer field where there were several groups practicing dances to loud music, or their band performances, or their ball skills, with gusto from quite early in the morning . If you’re looking for quiet, this is not the place. We find it interesting to be in the heart of lively local activity! Breakfast was the usual set of satisfactory options which worked for us.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Dangerous - Someone use the key to open our door in the middle of the night at 4ish . Im not sure why maybe try to checkout who’s asleep and steal money ???
- María i (6/5): - Muy desordenado en check in-out, tiene que venir una persona de otra parte hacer el proceso de cobro y tampoco saben si uno ha pagado o no, la comida es fría en el desayuno
- Gabriela (6/5): - No es digno de recomendarse
- Alex (4/5): Mala opción - Aguascalientes es un pueblo muy pequeño así que no se espera poderse hospedar en grandes hoteles, sin embargo al menos si que se encuentren en buenas condiciones y este no las tenía. La limpieza de las habitaciones pésima! al punto de que solicité el cambio de las mismas, ya que tenían muy mal olor, pero el personal muy amable, nos apoyo con el cambio. No cuenta con elevador y tampoco tienen aire acondicionado y al llover tan seguido la humedad es mucha en verano. El baño sucio y las camas muy incomodas, en definitive si regreso buscaré otra opción, esta no la recomiendo
- Verified traveler (4/5): Not much to like - Don't know what other places are like in Agua Calientes, but I'd try something else if we were to go back. Room was cold, no heat in the room. Noisy, street noise and also whenever the person in the room next to us was entering their room it sounded like they were trying to get into ours, always woke me up. On a two week trip to Mexico City, Lima, Cuzco, and Machu Picchu, this was the most expensive and least pleasant room we had. Water wasn't running one morning.
- MARIA E (8/5): Location and convenient - Great location
- Eduardo (2/5): Will not recommend at all - It wasn't a good experience at all. Terrible room, next to adjacent building with lots of noise, people arguing, lots of light coming thru. Didn't rest at all. Wifi signal poor
- Verified traveler (4/5): Mold in the room - The staff was accommodating and friendly. We were able to check in at 11am instead of having to wait until 3pm. The room had mold on the ceiling. Underneath the beds looked like they have not vacuum that carpet in about 10 years. The shower didn't drain the water fast so our feet would be in a pool of water. Breakfast was good and had a good selection.
- Jaci-Ann (6/5): NOT worth the money...too expensive!!! - The room was noisy because the walls are thin. The furnishings are run down and not worth $140/night. However, the staff was extremely pleasant and friendly!!!
- Luis R Bastos (2/5): DUPLA COBRANÇA - DOUBLE CHARGEG - Ao chegar fomos informados que não havia reserva em meu nome. Esclarecido o fato informaram que não havia mais quartos disponíveis e me ofereceram um hotel da mesma rede. Ao deslocarmos para este estabelecimento , recusamos pois era um quarto horrível e a localização do hotel péssima. Voltamos e já havia uma quarto com duas camas de solteiro disponível. Haviamos reservado uam com cama de casal mas aceitamos o que havia disponível. O fato é que o hotel me cobrou o pagamento de US$ 110 pela diária em CASH , informando que o sistema de cobrança pela máquina não estava disponível e também debitou no meu cartão de crédito. Ocorreu uma DUPLA COBRANÇA e até o momento não recebi o reembolso ou o estoorno da cobrança no meu cartão
- No sleep (2/5): Consider this a Hostel... not a hotel - We booked based on some positive reviews, but be warned. There are 3 different Inti Punku locations in Aguas Calientes. We stayed at the one near the soccer stadium and it was horrible. The NOISE was overwhelming. The walls are paper thin. Doors slamming, people talking, moving around, TVs playing... it was endless. The hotel staff did nothing. I thought they would ask guests not to shout in the halls but they didn't. The bed was very uncomfortable as well. The sheets kept pulling off the mattress and there were "strange" stains on the comforter. The shower was horrible. The nozzle sprayed everywhere and temperature was all or nothing. Scalding hot or freezing cold. We made friends in Aguas Caleientes who had a better experience at a $10 hostel. We should have stayed there. Book somewhere super cheap, or go the extra mile and splurge. It would be worth the money to have a really nice hotel in this wonderful place. Just don't stay at Inti Punku.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Clean room, hot shower, Noise street, comfortable - Clean room, hot shower, noise street, comfortable bed for short stay for next morning early wake up, close to the local community than the tourist area, but close to street which means noise and street dog
