HOTEL TIERRA DEL INKA CUSCO — Hotel in Distrito de Cusco

Not quite sure of prices in Cusco generally as they seem to vary in extremes and the constant barrage of agency touts means you never really know if you are paying the right price but compared to the other 5 cities we have visited in Peru (including miraflores Lima) this place is a rip off. ||It is clean, I'll give it that. But otherwise extremely basic apart from the tiny TV which has cable. ||It does include breakfast which has cereal and a few bits of cheap cheese and Bologna - not just dry bread and coffee. The breakfast is until 9. They clear it away at about 8:50 after which you don't even get a bit of bread off the numerous staff standing around the breakfast area eating what's left of Bologna, cheese and bread. ||The wifi is terrible but enough to send messages and read Facebook. ||The staff are appalling. If they dain to speak to you, which doesn't happen often, it will only be to utter some unhelpful inanity such as: we can't make phone calls to the agent who brought you here and paid for hotel because the hotel phone doesn't have credit, or: I wouldn't know to tell you the hotel address because no one has ever wanted delivery. ||The location is passable if you want somewhere central and you'll sleep ok. The water is hot if you leave it running for 10 mins. If you are desperate then it'll be fine but otherwise...

The hotel was average with nothing to really make it stand out. The hotel allows one free taxi to pick you up or drop you off. I called to arrange for a pick up at the bus depot but the taxi never arrived. Apparently, lack of communication was to blame. Luckily I did receive the free taxi to drop me off at the airport. The following are a few important points to know about the hotel.||-No elevator, if you have heavy luggage be prepared to carry them up the stairs.||-Breakfast includes: fruits, bread, yogurt, coffee, tea, ham, cheese. *If you request eggs please be advised that upon your departure you will be charged S./3 per egg consumed.||-WiFi is excellent, was able to use FaceTime and my room was located on the 3rd floor||-Location is close to dead end of street. Walking to Plaza de Armas is easy since its downhill. Walking back may be difficult for some due to the uphill walk along with altitude.||-No charge for printing. Was able to print flight tickets at no charge.||-Hot water! Awesome to say the least.||-Room with balcony was nice. Since there is very little street traffic, no real loud noise to wake you. ||-Laundry service offered. Better to walk down the street to use another service...

Llegamos al hotel por recomendación de un transfer y la atención dejó mucho que desear:||||1. No hay ascensor ni nadie que te ayude con las maletas: tú mismo tienes que llevarlas hasta el 2do o 3er piso||||2. La habitación tiene una ventana en el techo que no te deja dormir.||||3. Las cortinas del balcón estaban posicionadas de tal manera que la luz de la calle te da de frente al rostro y tampoco deja dormir.||||4. Encontré una CUCARACHA en la habitación.||||5. Te dan jabón pero no shampoo... Porque al parecer cuando se baña no se lava el cabello. El precio de la hab. no era barato.||||6. El agua caliente demora 5 mins en calentar pero se va después de 2 mins. El Cusco es un lugar en el que hace mucho frío y prácticamente me bañé con AGUA HELADA.||||7. Las toallas toca pedirlas porque no las cambian. Es más, se demoran aprox 1 hora en dártelas después de reclamar (solo una vez nos las llevaron a la hab.)||||8. No limpian los baños.||||9. Desayuno inexistente: no nos dijeron cual era la hora límite el 1er día y al 2do aunque fuimos a la hora, nos dijeron que se había acabado... El pago de la hab incluia el desayuno pero no preparan por persona ||||10. Te cobran por las impresiones de check-in y tienes que hacerlo en la recepción porque la otra pc no tenía mouse.||||11. La atención de las personas en recepción es PÉSIMA y digo pésima porque no encuentro un término peor. Sólo una joven nos trató con la cortesía mínima. Además paran en Facebook (esto lo sé porque imprimí los tickets del check-in en su pc)||||12. Los catres son más pequeños que los colchones, mega incómodo.||||13. No tiene calefacción, el pago para ello es aparte||||14. El edredón parecía estar lleno de paja porque hincaba. No había visto antes un edredón grumoso.||||15. Internet irregular.||||16. Nos abrieron la puerta de la habitación cuando aún estabamos durmiendo.||||17. Después de reclamar a recepción todo lo malo, lo único que estas personas hacen es mirarte. Ni siquiera ofrecen disculpas y parece que nada les importa, solo ganar dinero...||||En conclusión: No recomiendo el hotel ni para dormir. El precio es demasiado en relación a la...
