Since we were on a tour, we didn't choose this hotel as it was arranged by the tour. All of our other hotels were very nice, but this one was not so good. First of all, it is located in an industrial area, so when we went looking for a place to eat after a late arrival, there were few options. The next day during our free time we walked around quite a bit looking for anything interesting but only found machine shops, hardware stores, garages, etc. ||As for the hotel itself, we found ourselves in a room with twin beds, and we prefer to sleep in the same bed, even if it is a double, but twins are too small for two people. It was surface clean, but details were lacking. The floor drain in the bathroom was absolutely disgusting, and we noticed it every time we used the toilet. We were only there for two days and nights, and on the middle day I wasn't feeling well so I opted out of the tour. The whole day staying in that room with the street noise was awful, and for one hour there was a fruit vendor with a loudspeaker walking back and forth along the block in front of the hotel, super annoying. The internet was really slow and kept stopping, causing me to have to reboot everything over and over.||The breakfast buffet was fine, with lots of traditional breakfast foods, fruit, yogurt, etc., and although the second morning they offered only hard-boiled eggs, which I can't stand, they made me a couple scrambled eggs on request, which I much...

They woke us up every morning at 6-7 am with wildly loud room cleaning. When I complained about that, they replied that they wanted to provide comfort to guests if they arrived early. But they stole our sleep daily. Even earplugs didn't help as there was absolutely no soundproofing.
The rooms are small. The window is to the small inner tunnel, so don't expect any sun in the room. The toilet smelled so much in the room that it was impossible to rest.
They also tried to be as cheap as possible on breakfast - during a 30-minute period, I saw three people trying to catch someone to ask for boiled eggs (it's the only food they offer, except for bread and vegetables). Such humiliation.
They wanted $100 for the lost key to the safe!! Why not $1,000!?
The location is on the auto products street. There are no bars or restaurants around. Only noise and dirty auto shops.
The area doesn't look safe.
Downtown is 30...

We were riding to Tinki, Peru for the Ausangate Trek and this would be the best hotel to book to grab the 5 a.m. bus.
Hotels in Cusco are not like in the US where you can book a room for two, but if you have three it's all good. If you have three, book for three. We spent an hour at the front desk renegotiating the price because another traveller joined us after booking it online.
That aside, the staff were very nice. Many of the staff speak English and were very helpful in recommending lunch, dinner, and drink spots in town.
There's a great continental breakfast. The attached pic (from the dining room) shows that this is not necessarily a scenic place, but definitely a comfortable stay for travel...
