Plaza Mayor — Hotel in Puno

We stayed here as part of the Tucan Tour. Our stay in the hotel was actually a day either side of a home stay we did on Amantani Island on Lake Titicaca. When we arrived in Puno the weather was grim to say the least.

All in all, it was just okay, but you can do a lot better in this town ... if you have a luxury of being able to research and...

We stayed at the Plaza Mayor hotel for three nights. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They helped us book a tour to Sillustani, which was a great addition to our itinerary, and they can also book tours to Taquille and Uros islands, which are not to be missed. The hotel is located right in the center of town, so it's an easy walk to shopping and restaurants. The rooms are nothing special, but totally adequate.
