Albergue Turistico Casa Campesina — Hotel in Distrito de Cusco

We stayed in Hotel Casa Campesina / Hoteles CBC on July 17-23, 2018. We were a family of 5, all adults so we booked a Triple Room and a Double Room. We were on Room 203 & 204. The electric wiring is faulty in both the rooms, whenever we turned on the heater - the power turned off. It happened more than twice already but since the lights came back it was ok for us.|But when we return from a tiring day and all we wanted was a good night’s sleep and it happened again at night time, we told the Front Desk Staff, Areli, of the same situation again. She told us at first that after 10mins it will be fixed. Past 10mins no lights still.

We freaked out and had to insist to transfer us to another room with power! Reluctantly, she transferred us 5 adults to 1 room only and as it was already late we agreed hoping the power will be back in the morning. Unfortunately, power was not restored in the morning.

Once I started to question her (in my broken spanish) she decided to let it go. This left a bad taste in my mouth as she thought she could take advantage of a tourist

PROS: The young man who did our checkin was very nice and accomodating Breakfast is included Great water pressure and hot water

FYI - at the time I visited none of the staff really spoke english so you might want to be prepared...

In recent years la Casa Campesina has been upgraded in its installations, and it is conveniently located (at the corner of Ruinas and less than 10 minutes to the Main Square of Cusco). Casa Campesina was established by an NGO Centro Bartolomé de las Casas years ago and it has kept this non-commercial style. There are several patios in this colonial house, the kitchen produces typical local food with natural juices, and rooms are okay with bathrooms attached. The hotel has also attached a Crafts Center of Farmer Group producers with very high quality - it is fair trade.||The 2 large meeting rooms are used for workshops, conferences, seminars - service and...
