Guest Reviews
- Linda (10/5): - XO Art house is true to its name; it’s quirky but not compromising on comfort. Staff is so helpful and kind and breakfast is excellent. Overall a great Cusco experience.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This place was so beautiful. The food was amazing!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Hotel is built around a really nice outdoor patio with a fire pit that's perfect for setting during the day or evening. Rooms were nice if a bit small, restaurant was quite nice - and the staff was excellent. All were exceptionally courteous and helpful, but special thanks go to the concierge, Marco, for his friendly and helpful advice throughout our visit.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - So cute. Amazing staff. Great food. Close to the center.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Hay un inmueble abandonado al lado y da mala apariencia.
Solo hay un mesero para el desayuno y, a pesar q es buffet, se tardan en servir.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful hotel, great restaurant and very helpful at the front desk. Great location.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good vibe, good service, amazing breakfast. Attractive offers during Happy Hours
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay at this hotel and will return soon
- Emily (10/5): - The host is very gracious to us letting us to check in early and giving us a free breakfast buffet on the day of our arrival. We were so tired from our airplane trip. But the host made it easy for us.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - great location, awesome public space to hang out. The room was cute and spacious, comfy bed but overall a little uncomfortable at night-- my allergies were triggered (maybe some mold bc an older building?), cold even with heater which only works at night, very dry, shower was a little dated and worn.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is a really funky property. Stylish, well maintained and great environment. Live music every evening with happy hour in a beautiful courtyard with open fire, lounges and blankets. Our room was gorgeous with a bathtub (which was great at the end of an active day and cold evening) Conveniently located within walking distance to most things.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Mixed review - Good location and a lovely courtyard. Rooms were quite small and very very dark (I guess the fact its an old building with small windows meant that that was unavoidable). Down sides were shower was either scalding or cold and continuously fluctuated meaning it was very hard to have a good one, rooms always felt a little dark/damp just due to the lack of air circulating as so few windows and the service at breakfast/at the front desk was very hit and miss. Reception didnt speak good enough English so when there was an issue with check in it took the guy almost half an hour to check us in and then eventually he let us go to the room but then rang about 4 times to try and explain the issue. Really needed better English. In the breakfast room, one day they would be all over you and the next you couldn't get a glass or juice without chasing someone up. Waited 20 mins just for a coffee one day as pots needed refilling and no-one around.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Emplacement superbe, architecture magnifique. La cour centrale avec le feu est magique.
- Fernanda (10/5): Vale a pena cada centavo! - Hotel com acomodação e serviços impecáveis!
Marco, um dos funcionários da recepção, foi sensacional! Uma das melhores experiências que tive!

- Darren (10/5): Nice place to stay. - Slightly out of town but very walkable. Service was great. Was in a cheaper room so not much view.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Muy bonito, atencion personalizada, comida muy buena
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very pleasant people and high standard of amenities
- Carlos (8/5): - I liked the quiet of the place, but at the same time having live music show, with great musicians. I also liked the very good kindness of Roxana Quispe, the lady who used to prepare the juices for all passengers at the time of breakfast.
What I dislike was the indifference of some members of the personnel exception to make with Mrs Lucy at the Lobby, superkind
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great hotel! Room was lovely and very clean.
They bed was super comfy!
- Muffy (10/5): - I loved the El Mercado! It was such a nice place to stay both before and after the Salkantay Lodge Trek. The staff was very friendly and helpful, Great and plentiful food, local music every night, warm and fluffy comforters, treats by the bedside, coffee and tea in room, and do much more.
- Aaron (10/5): Do yourself a favor. Stay. - Very nice am doing authentic boutique
- Cindy (10/5): - Comfortable hotel near everything. Very pleasant staff
- Verified traveler (8/5): Well licated - Right off the main square, this is a comfortable and reasonable hotel. I also had good communication with the staff before I arrived so all my questions were answered
- Verified traveler (10/5): Cusco Excellence Ticks All The Boxes - We stayed in the magnificent beautiful hotel for 4 nights & could of stayed longer. We couldn’t fault it. We absolutely loved every minute of our stay here & it made it the extra pleasure to visit this amazing City. The cleanliness of the rooms excellent along with the staff & there over & beyond service mixed with the prettiness & Peruvian Classical style of the hotel was grand. Breakfast delicious & so much health variety. We are there most nights & dinner along with the later afternoon Pisco sours sitting by the fire pit listening to the live Jazz was a scrumptious treat. Thank you to all the staff there. We loved it. Great central safe spot. Thank you to all the staff for a truly enjoyable stay. Highly recommended. Jo-ann & Regina
- Verified traveler (8/5): Really great stay - This hotels becoming courtyard with large fire pit, alpaca blankets and shady seating areas feels like your own home. The staff couldn't be more friendly or helpful. The only negative is that the rooms offer little in the way of soundproofing and voices carry down the hallways.
- andrea (10/5): Muy buena experiencia - El hotel es hermoso y la atención espectacular!
- Sidney (10/5): It's a nice boutique hotel, close to town center - Excellent location to travel around Cusco. Stayed two nights, friendly service, good breakfast and cozy room. The live music in the evening was a great addition. I had only one dinner just before the restaurant was closing. for the day So it's not fair to judge their offerings. I generally go for view from the room. My room did not have much view to mention. To be honest, it is near center of the town and on a
- K (10/5): Nice hotel and quiet - Very nice hotel. Only 4 blocks from city center so convenient yet quiet. Excellent breakfast and very friendly and helpful staff
- jaime (6/5): En general aceptable - Fui en dos oportunidades , una la habitacion excelentemente calefaccionada y la segunda no fue asi
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Exelente ubicacion personal amable habitacion de primera hotel moderno limpio y muy agradable
- Verified traveler (10/5): hotel confortável - Hotel bem bonito e confortável. Roupa de cama muito boa. Só não gostei da área de banho, não tem privacidade nenhuma.
- Vanessa (10/5): Fabuloso - Incrível ficar nesse hotel. Perto das principais praças. Café da manhã maravilhoso. Funcionários excepcionais. O hotel tem sempre à disposição agua, café e chá gratuitamente no lobby. Há happy hour sas 5 as 7:30 com música maravilhosa e bebida em dobro. Chocolate e frutas no quarto todas as noites. Hotel para pessoas com gosto requintado. Quando voltar a Cusco me hospedarei lá novamente.
- Abigail (10/5): Amazing!! - If you don't stay here, you're doing Cusco wrong. The staff was on top of everything, the food was fantastic (local and tasty), and the Peruvian decor made it an immersive experience.
- Meredith (10/5): Excellent Location and Charming Decor - The courtyard and overall ambiance of the hotel are really lovely and charming. The room was big and cozy. The location is also great - it is only a few blocks from the main plaza and many of the main attractions (Cathedral, Inca Museum). There are lots of great restaurants nearby too. The breakfast buffet was excellent - lots of great food including crepes and omelettes.
- Ria (8/5): Great location - I stayed in cusco 4 days and my stay was excellent. The hotel doesnt look highly appealing from the outside but as you enter it is simply beatiful. The courtyard is rustic and the fire at the center is an artistic addition.
The breakfast is full of continental options and was delicious as well.
The staff is very helpful! The rooms are clean and cosy. Excellent location in close proximity to the main square where many pick up and drop offs occur.
I woyld highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting cusco.
- tatiana (10/5): Beautiful Unique boutique hotel - El Mercado was a great pick - it is a beautiful and well kept boutique hotel, every detail was taken into consideration from the reception up to the rooms, they have a fire pit in the middle of the center garden with throws and free jazzy music every night, creating a unique ambiance for all. great customer service and they even accommodated a breakfast box to go , if your plans include getting out of the hotel before 6am -
- Vyvianni (8/5): um charme - O El Mercado eh um hotel super charmoso, e super bem localizado. A entrada eh bem discreta mas o interior encanta. A fogueira no final da tarde com som ao vivo eh um plus. Os apts sao confortaveis , cama muito boa, e cafe da manha com boas opcoes.
- OSCAR E (8/5): excelente ubicacion y hotelito muy agradable - hotel sencillo y muy bien ubicado, excelente desayuno y en general lleno de detalles
- Jennstr (8/5): Cute Hotel - Nicely decorated, comfortable and friendly staff. Rooms were a bit warm in the middle of the night with no thermostat. Beds and rooms comfortable and clean. Breakfast okay.
- Amy (10/5): Wonderful STAY! - English speaking staff was very helpful and very pleasant. We arrived early morning and they were aware that we were tired. They went to prepare our room right away. They told us where everything is, recommended warmly to rest and go out to eat at their wonderful restaurants. We loved our Limo Bar Restaurant as our first experience which set the expectations. They assisted in the coordination of our tour pickups, put is in the right cab and reminded us they were there for us. Ability to speak a little Spanish will get you a long way here.
- carlos (8/5): - Muy buena experiencia, solo q el cuarto no tenia ninguna vista y una de las noches hubo mucho ruido. Pero por lo demas muy lindo decorado y muy buena atencion.
- ALAIN (8/5): Petit hôtel de charme - L' hôtel est très bien tant pour sa décoration que pour les services, un bémol, seul 1/3 des chambres possède une vue dégagée.
- Luis (4/5): - Mucha foto, el hotel muy mal ubicado, zona demasiado ruidosa
