Posada Villa Mayor — Hotel in Distrito de Cusco

We were booked at this hotel through our tour company. This hotel is good if you're on a budget. No bells and whistles. The free wifi was not great - it often cut out or was unavailable. There are no toiletries in the bathroom like shampoo/soap/conditioner, so be sure to buy or bring those. They did provide towels.

You may want to request a room in the back because the front faces a busy road and park. If you sleep like the dead,...

Right by plenty of restaurants, many small shops offering tours, and the city's main square.||The rooms are functional without much luxury - but the price is also on the lower end. If you're a light sleeper, ask for a room facing away from the very noisy square (windows and doors are a bit drafty).||Breakfast is decent without being extravagant. The room is cleaned nicely every day. And the staff are very helpful if you have special requests (like a very early takeaway breakfast when you're going on one of the long...
