    There is a lot of noise that can be heard from the sidewalk below at all hours and through the walls and windows. The hot water was hot or miss; took a cold shower one day and a hot shower another time.

    The room suited our needs. Nice choice of vendors right outside the door. The staff were all helpful and nice!

    There is no hairdryer in the room. You need to go down to reception to get it before you shower and give it back right after. It was quite noisy you can hear everyone outside the room

    The location. And they let you keep the bags while you visit matchu pitchu

    The street noise is not that bad because the windows are very good at keeping it out. But be aware there is noise from both the hallway and the street. Nothing out of the ordinary.

    The room was spacious and comfortable. We got the 4 bed family room on the 3rd floor. I would recommend this one. It was quieter. The location is easy to find and it’s right next to the school and community sports facilities, so there is a vibrant evening and night life - but it’s mostly families. Lots of affordable foods around. A good value. Our daughter got sick and they accommodated our request to stay until our train left in the evening.

    You can hear noise from a bakery early in the morning which is located on the lower level of building. But as most people get up early for Machu Picchu it was ok. Unfortunately, we had to suffer through noisey guests who were talking and banging doors at 1:30am, no respect for others. I wish the reception would of said something to them 🙉

    Central location Comfortable bed Hot shower Friendly staff Bag storage available

    It's an interior room, and the curtains can't completely block out the light. There's always some noise, so it might be uncomfortable for people who don't usually sleep well.

    Great location, although everything in town is fairly close anyway. They had an employee waiting for us at the station, though we missed them 😅. Everyone on the staff is very nice! The bed linen is warm and comfy.

    Did not respond to any of our messages or emails prior to arrival. Stairs up to rooms would not suit those with health issues. Cold shower first morning at 5am - although it was fine from then on in.

    Basic clean accommodation. Good location close to train station with many shops/restaurants close by. Offered Luggage Storage after check-out (while we went back up to Machu Picchu).

    It was a little noisy in the early morning and smell of food /oil cooking thru out the whole day. There kitchen is right under the rooms by check in. The lights beam Into the room from the hall way when ur room is dark. No AC

    I liked where it was located . Very clean nice staff, loved the luggage storage service, they were helpful with questions and directions. The price was budget friendly , u get what u pay for so I can’t complain . Recommend if ur on a budget and don’t mind sacrificing a little.

    Good convenient no frills accommodation for early Machu Pichu trip.

    Our room was by the street window overlooking a football park and the street has all commercial activity, and the noise can be heard in the room but it stops late at night. No elevator but you shouldn't bring too much for the Machu Picchu trip anyway. The whole town is filled with activity so just appreciate the vibrant bustling energy of the town. Main streets to hotel were steep but manageable, so its harder uphill and easier downhill to the bus stops and Peru Rail.

    This is an economy no frills lodging just to make sure we had an early start going to Machu Picchu, and conserve our energy. So we took one of the last trains to Machu Pichu station from Cusco center to spend the night in this hotel. There was staff early in the morning that stored our luggage and do our early check out. The walk to the bus stop and PeruRail was okay and not far. Room and bathroom was spacious, hot water was good. Near restaurants, shops, and convenience stores. The area is off the touristy zone so you will experience more of the normal living of the locals/neighborhood.

    The town is very loud, even until late. Fanfare music was playing basically all the time. The good thing is that there was a small patio which means 2 doors that can close. This made it manageable, but you couldn't then open the window to let some colder air in.

    The rooms were spaceous enough. The beds were very comfortable. The showers worked great too. Everything looked clean.
